Countdown

The countdown to Christmas has started. BB is in the kitchen making the Christmas cake so I had to pop into the shops on my way home to pick up some greaseproof paper to line the tin-hence the Blip

It was another busy day in the office making lots of calls and talking to loads of college tutors and administrators - all good, if a bit tiring.

I also spoke to a woman in Colorado over a video link about a project she is doing in Nablus on the West Bank where children use digital cameras to record their daily lives. Fascinating stuff-we'll need to talk again.

The house is filling with smells of the holiday season - hot spices and dried fruit.
