My beautiful Byron,

I am back in my favourite coffee shop after the Christmas visit to the desert. I didn’t sleep very well there; the air conditioning made a noise and woke me up every hour, so I am somewhat dozy, but that’s not an excuse to take time off work.  I did manage to go for a nice desert walk and take some photo’s which was a highlight of my visit. I followed a beautiful Egret for ten minutes and shot this picture.

Now I have a four hour writing session ahead and I need to meet a deadline.

You wait until you get that deadline thing going on. Something to look forward to. I love deadlines. Exams are a bit like deadlines. I used to think it was scary, but I learned its actually nice to have a challenge and a deadline to come up with the best you can think of……..
