I'm sure you're totally bursting to know how the fourth and final workshop went. But my bus time to work which tends to double as my blog time is filled this week as I'm racing to finish a book called The Women's Room by Marilyn French. I hated it to start with. A book about a hypothetical woman? What could that possibly tell me about life? But now, in fact, I see that it's a masterly attempt at tackling all (western) womankind's experiences in one small volume. In a wholly readable way. Simone can eat her heart out - if she were in a fit state to do so.

Anyway, pardon me. I'm reading.
