Do an evening class - Done!

Well, after putting off my 'do an evening class', i have finally had a realisation - i quite simply do not want to learn French.

I have always had a vision of going to French classes before jetting off to Paris (joie de vivre!) and speaking beautifully fluently to the locals.  I also look Parisian in this vision - stick thin, long, thick, shiny hair, Jackie-O sunglasses, camel mac and Louboutins - but, sadly, neither are ever going to happen.

I struggle with English most of the time (i'm still trying to use 'disenfranchised' in a sentence - a goal I set myself 3 years ago a la (look, back to the French again!) Clueless) so i'm giving up on learning another language.  I'm leaving the dream behind.  I'll grow old safe in the knowledge that a 'D' in GCSE French will help me to buy chocolates, say turn left/right, tell people where i live and that my mum is called Judith when i'm next in France.  What more do i need?

So, following all that - i've started my Yoga evening class!  Major cop-out.....

Au revoir!

Lady Chatterley's Lover


                                                                   I am looooving reading Lady Chatterley's Lover, it's a dream compared to the old Moby Dick!  Here's a censored glimpse of what the genius D.H.Lawrence has to offer.....


“Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.” 



“A woman unsatisfied must have luxuries. But a woman who loves a man would sleep on a board” 


“But that is how men are! Ungrateful and never satisfied. When you don't have them they hate you because you won't; and when you do have them they hate you again, for some other reason. Or for no reason at all, except that they are discontented children, and can't be satisfied whatever they get, let a woman do what she may.”

Read Moby Dick - DONE!!

Yey!!  The dreaded book has finished!  I can now get back to doing other things such as eating and sleeping!
