As usual, I've been busy with things work-ish; finishing off courses for the summer, taking on short courses and up to my eyeballs in paperwork and marking. The marking will continue for another week longer, but it is sheer bliss knowing that I don't have to be hurtling up and down the M1 or across to Kells for a few weeks.
In the meantime, I was asked to judge a poetry competition for Eyewear - the theme was using the number six, as it is Eyewear's sixth birthday. I chose the winning poem blind from all the poems sent - so it was amazing to later find out that the winner, Janet Vickers, was Canadian, and it was Canada day yesterday - serendipity on many levels.
Check it out and look out for the picture of me with cakes... in the background. Oh yes.
