Dear Shah,
Today is a glorious sunny day and the temperaturehas upped to 30 degrees. We've had a good Easter Break sofar. We had friends for dinner on Friday and my familyyesterday. I had forgotten what it is like to be on my feetall day COOKING and serving food, but the result was worthit -- appreciated. No eggs this year (the boys have grown up) except thereal variety from our chooks, but my sister brought somewonderful chocolates from the chocolate shop at Balhannah.Yoyo and Merry had extra milk and a bite from Friday's lamb.
Frisky and Molly had the bones from the roast on both days,an extra walk from Sam on Friday, and three rounds of theoval with Val and I yesterday. Mind you Molly is alreadypestering for her walk today. I, too, am going to some short courses beginning thisweek with Endnote. However, no doubt I'll get confusedbecause English still uses footnotes. Later in the semesterthere is other stuff on Thesis writing and preparation.Every little insight into the formal process helps. I'm getting stuck into Japanese contemporary novels, asthese will form the jumping off point for my study.
The reading is fascinating -- yes even the theory. At the momentall things Japanese are grist for the mill with me. I emailed the Big Man, but I have no reply as yet. Nodoubt he is up to his ears (busy) with teaching and his ownMA work. I must go and do some more reading now. I've just begunHaruki Murakami's "Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of theWorld." It's intriguing and challenging stuff. Take care.
Cheers,
Christine
