OMG!!!
Mike passed my bloody essay around the class as an example of excellence. Talk about wanting the ground to open...
I mean, had it actually been excellent, I would have pretended to be embarrassed but been secretly pleased.::VBG:: Since it was actually a fairly mediocre effort, IMO (I mean, I didn't even really answer the question!) I was genuinely embarrassed.Nonononono!!!!!
Anyway... the weather having stayed balmy and gorgeous, we're having an everyone-contributes-something-vegan goodbye picnic, Friday, so tomorrow, after school, I'll have to go to Tesco's and grab some wine, veggies and houmous; taking the minibus into Oakwood for the last time. Sob!!! As Judith - the hippiest, New Ageiest person on the course, said, today; "I'm going to cry for a week when it's over.I don't ever want it to end." I know just how she feels. I feel I've made friends for a lifetime. It's been a fabulous experience.
It's so, so hot this evening - we had all our lectures outside, under the giant cedar tree, which radically improved my alertness level this afternoon. We finished the day with another fantastically inspiring video from Bill Mollison aka, the God of Permaculture. If you have any interest at all in the concept and practice of sustainability, do seek out Bill's videos. The books are great, but to see the man talking about Pemaculture is just amazing.

I've got at least one book on permaculture by Bill Mollison - wonderful diagrams that make you want to run outside and change everything immediately. Brilliant stuff!

And no, the essay really wasn't good at all. I wish I could pretend otherwise, but I'd be lying to myself, and what would be the pont of that, hmmm?

I posted in reply to your other post before I read this...so I guess you won't have to sit through any more false alarms. I bet, looking back, even that will seem funny and charming and something to be missed.
