I should probably do a leap post - I don't think I've ever done one before. There's not much to post
about though. There has been a bit of a study frenzy and the assignment from hell. Judging by the Facebook group for this course most people found it difficult, despite there being a choice of two questions and a choice of texts to apply them to. I don't quite know why it was such a nightmare (writing it was like pulling teeth), but at least I wasn't alone in finding it tough going. Part of it was the subject - seventeenth century literature - which didn't really grab me and I know others felt the same. It's always easier to write about things which interest you. I did enjoy the
Turkish Embassy Letters by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu though, so it wasn't all bad.
To celebrate vanquishing the pesky
varmint assignment I bought a cheap but lovely fountain pen and some ink, and I have been practising writing more neatly, because nothing makes you want to use a pen as much as fighting a keyboard. The pen comes with a thing called a converter so you can put bottled ink in it, meaning you can break away from boring blue and black.
So I get a soft brown ink called Sepia because that's how it looks. Also like tea.
Oooh, shiny. (Yes, we had sunshine!)
Should anybody be pen nerdy the pen is a Jinhao X450 and the ink is by Diamine.
And that's it really!

Edited to add: I did a leap post in 2012!
