It’s been an
exciting week. I ate an entire litre of Gelatelli Premium chocolate
ice-cream (£2 from Lidl) in around 24 hours, I declined an £85
offer for a Bosch drill twinset and I ignored a call from a private
number on my mobile. University life wise things are much the same.
Raisa did the lectures this week and I was pretty bored, as usual.
I’ve barely said a word to anyone but sometime during the week I
gave a student a lift up the hill to St. Mary’s (she was in my
poetry class last semester). The highlight of the week was
discovering that whoever it was that bought my book last year had
left a 5 star review on Amazon. I would be willing to bet money that
they wrote the review before the finished the book (it gets worse as
it goes on) but still, it was a nice thought. Onwards and upwards.

Maybe you should do something more pro-active like, given your medieval lit-themed classes go on a bit of a trip to local areas of medieval interest (if it's not too cold), maybe it will even inspire a short story? Doesn't have to cost you anything except petrol. I always liked reading stuff in locations which mirrored the locations in the text. Like reading Measure in a cloister.
