Back to UWE
Yesterday, teaching at the University of the West of England (UWE) finally started again. I say ‘finally’, as we (Leah and I) have been back in Bristol for some time, having misguidedly thought that uni started again on the 9th of January. While coming back to Bristol two weeks early after the Christmas break was a bit of a pain initially, I have got quite a lot done with the websites and have been at work quite a bit, too.
My first lecture this morning on Policy Making was fine. It had seemed rather simpler than some of the previous lectures, which I was not absolutely sure about. The following seminar was similarly ‘workable’.
After the seminar, I enjoyed a coffee with chums Vicki and Carla before speeding off back home to learn that Leah had booked herself in for a drastic haircut, and as such needed moral support.
Thus, we left for the hairdressers in Fishponds (oh dear, one might think) and got her a brand new fringe! It’s very exciting — no more curtains for Leah Stockton! It looks much better. The hairdresser agreed, adding that she thought the cut was “1000 times better” than before. Modest, too.
After the chop, we had an early dinner / late lunch at the Porto Lounge in Fishponds. It was quite a nice meal for me, though Leah’s pâté was revolting. We shall know not to order that in the future.
When we had finished our food, we went very briefly to the Sandringham to leave a message for Zoe and for a “swift ‘alf”. We then went home and tried to find Jenkins a new job, as she is rather unhappy in her current one.
Anyway, enough about my boring day — shall write more shortly.

Glad to hear the haircut went well
Altho’ the hairdresser sounds a cheeky moo!!!
Also hope your penultimate term goes well and that Alice has found some good jobs to apply for.
Just finished ‘… Half-blood Prince’ - ohmigawd! Poor Dumbledore… evil Snape! And all I can say is I hope they change over the actress who plays Ginny for this one! I want to know what happens and now i have to await until July! Dammit!
Have a good weekend - x
