I’d love to say that I’ve been hugely busy, or that I’ve had lots of other massively important things to be doing instead of writing for here. But it wouldn’t be true.
This month seems to have flown by without me really contributing much to it. Let’s see what I have actually achieved this June…
Well, the month started on a Tuesday with me in a panic – believing that I was going to fail my forthcoming exams – and also trying to complete my History of Maths essay based upon the Fibonacci Series and their influence in art, architecture and nature. A subject that I found completely absorbing and very fascinating once I managed to prise my way into it.
What else… well, on the 6th (a Sunday) I was to be found in York’s Grand Opera House watching Ken Dodd‘s Happiness Show, a present for my 21st birthday earlier this year. I must admit it was very funny and had a wonderful time.
Then came the barrage of exams. Four in four days. No idea how they went yet as results are to follow.
Thursday the 10th brought the highlight of the year so far though. Not only was it the last day of exams, but there I was in the evening being part of the wonderful event in the Sheffield Leadmill that was part of The Divine Comedy‘s trio tour. Words cannot describe how wonderful the atmosphere was or how amazing some of their old songs are when played in a light jazz style! The line-up featured Neil Hannon, a cellist and a pianist – a very versatile set of musicians that managed to recreate some of the lesser known songs by the group admirably, including Sweden and My Lovely Horse…
Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, the week after that had a couple of maths deadlines to adhere to, so those days were mainly filled with maths and much head banging…
Since that last deadline on the 21st, well, there’s been a lot of overtime available at work, meaning that today was the first day in awhile where I haven’t had something to do and even then I’ve spent most of the day shopping for things for a small expedition I’m toddling to in a couple of weekends time… More on that later.
