It has been quite a cool week in all, although there is not that much I feel I can say about it. For starters, Wednesday was my thirty-second birthday (32!? I’m getting old!). It was an okay day – just a normal day of the week in all; I got some awesome books from Lyn, and also started volunteering again at school. Thursday was pretty exciting too, as I was sorted out with a library card for the university of East London. It felt great to enter a proper academic library again: things are progressing well in that area of my life; I’m now part of a type of research group, and, with a bit of luck, some great things will be coming of it. Then, yesterday, we had a solar eclipse. While I missed seeing it in person, we really enjoyed catching up with the coverage on tv. Such natural spectaculars are always a treat, as you always learn so much; Lyn and I were both fascinated. A great week in all, then: one of celebration, learning and beauty. It makes me wonder what next week will bring.
