Lovely day today. First tutorial in Sheffield, and it was good. Tutor is enthusiastic about children’s literature, and was very helpful. Lots of stuff about analysing the questions - what did each term mean. I intended to go to Meadowhall in the afternoon, but there were plenty of shops by the University, so I didn’t bother. I say I dislike cities, but I can take them in small doses, and Sheffield was quite buzzing. Going in to John Lewis’s made me nostalgic for Kingston on Thames, as part of the layout seemed identical. Bought another top and two woolly cardies,(that sounds old=fashioned, but they’re not) so that’s me set up for the winter. I ought to get rid of some old stuff, but I’m such a hoarder.

Oh and I bought a really good book on CSS (styling websites) The young lad in Waterstones asked if I was a student. I’m sure it must have been tongue in cheek. Anyway, I produced my NUS card and got 10% of £31. I’ve made great savings already, so it was £10 well spent.

I forgot to say that John bought me a Kindle for my birthday. I’ve downloaded several books to do with my OU course (just background reading) and they were all free. I’d never have bought them, partly because they would cost, partly cos they would take up room, and mostly cos I probably won’t read them anyway!

Anyway, watching Midsommer Murders with a glass of good red wine. Well happy.
