pmcrayI've signed up for an Arvon Foundation course "Breaking Boundaries" in Shropshire in August. I don't think I've ever been to Shropshire before. The tutors are Alison Fell and Geoff Dyer. I can't say I'd heard of either before, but they sound interesting people. The main reason I am going is because the guest author is Jonathan Coe, a writer I admire greatly. Of course, he'll only be there for a couple of hours, but what the heh. Mavis Cheek recommended that I go for the BB course rather than the popular fiction one I was toying with. Living in "Chick Lit" country as I do now ("West Chiswick"), I'm going to get enough of that kind of thing automatically.
I've also signed up for ClubSix dining club and a madsocialwhirl.com speed dating event. I need the material as my writing tutor (Philip Jennings) suggested to me that there is a rich vein of material to mined there.
Comet arrived with my new TV at 9 this morning. Very propmpt. I was proud of the fact that I managed to put the stand together this evening. I even got the doors to line up (more or less). Unfortunately, the TV is so heavy that there's no way I can get it on the stand on my own. Still, it works and it's good to have a telly that shows all three primary colours. Roll on Saturday when I will be getting my HDD/DVD recorder and PSII, I hope. If I'm lucky, I'll have Sky next week. At last, I'll be a multichannel household.
