An update...

...of things on my mind at the minute. In no particular order:

-How depressing it is that the whole housing market appears to be based on cheating, lying, undercutting and generally being mean! I want to go and live in a wigwam somewhere. I would probably feel more secure about having a roof over my head then than I do now renting.
-How I am fundamentally opposed to the invasion of English shores by 'Hooters' (along with England's own abaility to spawn 'gentlemen's' clubs on every street corner) and simultaneously annoyed by myself for not having enough confidence in my reasons why, or my ability to argue my position.
-Who will win the Newcastle vs. Sunderland derby.
-The Macdonald sisters. Interesting book recommendation: Circle of Sisters by Judith Flanders. V.interesting biography of Alice Kipling, Georgina Burne-Jones, Agnes Poynter and Louisa Baldwin
-How on earth to prepare 'an informal report to explain important marketing principles in the context of the planning process' without lapsing into Eng Lit speak.
- Whether it will ever stop raining so that M and i can actually plant something in our allotment

Things to look forward to (both for me, and as potential blogging material) include:

- http://www.museumsandheritage.com A 2 day conference of which I am attending one day of seminars on marketing museums. Looks really interested, and I am extra excited because my boss suggested I go which means a) she knows what career progression I am looking for and is supporting me in it b) I get my train ticket paid for
-The Newcastle Uni Architecture Ball on Tuesday. I haven't been to a ball since er..May 2006 - that's a long time.
-A week's holiday in May. Am currently planning to go and stay in aforementioned wigwam, or alternatively go camping in Scotland somewhere.
