Waiting

26/08/2010 by Aileen.

Ooh I’m so excited. I’m expecting two parcels this week. Well one probably won’t come until next week, as it’s not meant to be dispatched til Friday, but I’m ever the optimist. This is the A363 Children’s Literature course from the OU. I managed to get hold of the two workbooks as pdf files, and I’ve ‘done’ Block One. Well, I haven’t done it in depth, but I’ve skimmed through. I can’t do it properly until I know what the TMA (tutor marked assignment) is, when I will read through with more purpose.

The other parcel is an Adobe package. After saying I wouldn’t upgrade from Element 6 as I don’t use many of the features, and wouldn’t want Dreamweaver as I like to do my own coding, I have ordered a bundle with these two in.

As I’m a student it was so much cheaper than it would be otherwise, and I fell! Mea Culpa.

There is a good possibility that the software will arrive this morning, so I daren’t have a shower in case I miss it.

Mind you, our postie is wonderful. So is the woman who delivers parcels. We met the latter three times in a row when we were out cycling last week, and she always has a cheery word. One day, she said she had returned a parcel to the post office as we weren’t in. She said she tried the door, and would have left in inside if it was open! How many places in England would that happen - that the odds are people’s doors are unlocked?

I usually leave ours unlocked if I’m just popping down to the shops,but then sometimes I think it might be just that day that a serial killer goes by and I come home to John’s hacked body, so I lock it.

Mmm. 9am. Where is that postie?
