I am marking at the moment which does horrendous things to my ability to write anything creative. Or indeed vaguely readable.

Readability, in fact, is a word in danger of being worn away to a nub. Along with the statements "a conclusion should summarise your findings not state what you did" and "check your APA guide for the correct format for..."

I have got photos, not every day though and all still sitting on the camera.

I got to teach on Wednesday night as well. Miss N was stranded the wrong side of the mid island snow drift so I went in and taught budgets a little earlier than planned. Need to write up some notes on what I covered for her to hand out to the students next week.

Oh well back to the marking. Five more from today's quota. (I need to mark 12 a day to get them finished by the end of Tuesday which is when I want to get rid of them though earlier would be better!)

Fear me for I have the red pen
