A neglected blog sits in the corner of my room, glowering at me resentfully, as it has been for some months. Tonight I finally resolved to face it head-on, and wrote a respectabley sized post to update. Then I tried to save it, and it got lost.
So this will instead be a more picture-based dash through what I wrote of in the lost post.
In brief… I have spent much of the summer in Hertfordshire with my family, allowing the metaphorical (and probably literal) dust to settle, and this seems to have had some success as I feel I now have a clearer idea of the direction I want to take my work in for my second – and final- year of MA. This will probably last precisely until I speak to a tutor about my plans, when the course recommences officially, later this month.
I’ve also managed to spend enough time in Brighton during the summer to miraculously reorganise my kitchen, an achievement which fills me with disproportionate pride.
