ONLINE at last!!!

YAY!!!

I'm away from home  - a two week Permaculture Design course at Middlesex Uni. They promised me free broadband in my room; this promise was withheld until today.::tut tut tut:: )o:
Oh man! I couldn't log on for - whatever reason (never did get to the bottom of it) and have been chasing pillar to post since Sunday night, trying to get someone to DO something about it! Anyway; finally, got it sorted out tonight. Am I happy or what?! ::grins stupidly and does a little shimmy, to make the point::

The course is wonderful. Great subject (but I knew that anyway), wonderful teacher (the lovely Mike - Blair at 50! I'll post a piccie when I can); really nice group. The accommodation leaves a LOT to be desired ('HM Prison' wouldn't be a bad description )o:) but hey... I've stayed in much worse places. I have beer - I can deal. The 'no drugs. No weapons' (complete with little symbols - a gun and a syringe with red lines through) sign on the Student U was a trifle startling, I admit, but I've seen nothing untoward as yet and can only assume they're just covering their arses for legal reasons ::VBG::

No TV is turning out to be A Very Good Thing (especially since the beloved is tivioing 24, Boston Legal and sundry other un-missables), and after one night's writing, I now have 3,000+ words of one of my Moonridge stories written.

So... I'm back my babies! And it feels good! (o:

I'm on the chocolate ice-cream - don't worry *g
Well thank goodnes for THAT! ^^

I've been doing Perm for years on and off and since I have a landscape design degree thought it was about time I got off my ample behind and did something with my life. I'm thinking about, maybe, an online design/consultancy service or something... maybe. Not really sure yet tbh!

Wonder if you could get that to work? Sounds like a great idea - especially with all the talk about global warming now - permaculture should start to become more popular. Anyway - enjoy the course ;~)
