A good day
A good day today in which Ed and I went to church and enjoyed it. Beginning to get to know people and feel quite comfortable in our new church.
We came home after church and read the Sunday paper, always something I look forward to. Not because the peper is particularly good (there are loads of sections we never open) but because it denotes relaxation and feet-up time.
Today I was very interested in an article about free on-line lectures from top universities. Apparently there are a number of sites offering lectures in a huge variety of subjects, so I looked up some of them. There’s iTunes U, MIT Open CourseWare, and Open Learn, offering lectures from Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Harvard and so on. And all free – so far! Many of them podcasts.
I’ve also managed to finish the first chapter of my new novel (yes, I know. The first one isn’t out yet. But it will be, either late this year or early next.) The start is always difficult – it is for me, anyway. You have to get the right feel and set the scene and engage your readers, all on page one! Anyway, I’m under way now, so I hope to get at least halfway before I hit any brick walls. At least, that’s the theory.
If the brick walls prove too daunting I can always try some further education – on-line and free, of course.
