under another sun

Getting stuck into the last section of the book. Making slow progress. Distracted by new problems with the Twitten sale, leaving everything uncertain and doubtless me out of pocket to an even greater extent. However went for a walk in the afternoon, once my eyes got tired, and it was an incredibly beautiful day. Wandered down to the pier and along the sea front to where The Labour Party is holding its annual conference. A few shifty looking political types slithering about. Below the fountain in the Steine, Ivor's wagon, feeling like I rather needed a tarot consultant myself, and the HS2 white elephant outside the Labour conference. The HS2 for a high speed train link to the north from London seems to be under attack from all sides, Government and Opposition.

A random elephant Fairly tired today, and kept my head down at work. Not much to report other than feeling a bit jaded. Worked through lunch and scooted off from work a few minutes early in the company of Trace who has been in the wars lately. She fell from her bicycle a couple of weeks ago and banged her head badly (typically it was the one time she was not wearing a helmet), and now she has a work crisis going on. Met Reuben on the train coming home and had a cheery, Friday chat over a can of beer. Home and had a lengthy IM session with Sarah talking, amongst other things, about 1980s English pop which she was mad about. Then had a phone call from Mum who is investigating having prints made of her pictures. And now bed is calling like a siren... Below examples of essay answers from an email sent around today. Here are two that made me laugh. Especially the elephant.
