So good to be cool again after yesterday's heat. It augurs well for 2010, I hope.
I've have made my resolutions.
Workwise, 2010 looks like being an interesting year. I have the first semester pretty full of TAFE teaching - both online and one subject at Box Hill face-to-face. I'm teaching two subjects I haven't taught before, and one for the second time only. I'm also fitting in a three week stint in Fremantle, one of my favourite places to work and I hope to make it to New Zealand for ten days. I'm not actually going to try to do much writing in Semester One - it's too full of teaching. It feels really odd to make that conscious decision. I've probably made it unconsciously in the past and then been cranky when I tried to make myself a writing schedule and could never stick to it.
Best book of 2009? Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, closely followed by Jane Gardam's The Man in the Wooden Hat (though I didn't like it as much as Old Filth) I probably have others as well.
It's so quiet here - no kids around, The Accountant lying down with a book on the Normandy Invasion - I feel as though I should be using this solitude for some supreme task. Which I am, of course, wishing you, gentle reader, a wonderful 2010 with all good things and happenings.
A blog where I talk about the reading, writing, post the Tuesday Poem and, sometimes, show some knitting.

Wish I'd read your blog before making my New Year resolutions. They are realistic. Mine weren't! Who wants to start reading non-fiction with their morning tea - before they've even got their email up!
