Rainy Day Woman

I noticed that none of you tried to answer my question. Not so easy is it? Still we hammered that one today and, hopefully, it means I'll see less and less nonsensical writing. I met my other group of students today, the ones I'm doing Academic Reading with and they are even quieter than my Writing group - how is this possible??? I only see this group for four sessions a week so I don't know how well I'm going to get to know them but I'm hoping that once I've got their names under control (and most of them have westernised names) things will become easier. Unfortunately I'm still at the point and 'you' stage (which I hate). I also received a pleasant surprise today, one of my Writing group gave me a little present - a Chinese dangley (like the things you attach to your phone). It's embroidered and mainly orange so perfectly replaces the pull tag that came off my favourite (orange) handbag.

Other news - I went into Southampton to get my ID card this afternoon and the journey back was anything but straightforward. Also I'm going to change my accommodation - I'm moving in with the other tutors as there are fewer people and a cleaner kitchen in their flat. I planned to do it this evening but...

Rain update - Winchester is still in gold medal position AND, somehow, the showers always manage to co-incide with my needing to be outside. Why?
