Shirley Knott (don't call me Shirley)

Yep, it's me.

What news?
1. The drugs are working, though getting up at 6.30am to get to work for 7am is killing me.
2. Winter is kicking in.
3. I still haven't figured out my PhD question, though still planning on doing PhD.
4. Have bought a new secondhand car - a 'compact SUV', so now we are those people.
5. I am wrestling hugely with my middle class guilt/principles over buying aforementioned car (even though it was my idea).
6. Have finished teaching my evening class and LOVED IT. Have been asked to repeat the class and set up a new one for August (hooray for me).
7. Jo is lovely.
8. So's Gert.
9. The Hurricanes are doing quite well this year.

For anyone who may be interested in clarification about what "the drugs are working" means, all I can say is that when I was walking the dog the other day I sang a new and improved variation of "Little Donkey" to her whilst laughing to myself like a simpleton. And then I told Jo and did a repeat performance (Jo joined in, which may explain why we are married). The dog thought it was shit and ignored me.

Speaking of great songs, I strongly urge you to go to Youtube and check out "Batfly" by Fat Cat & Fish Face. I was also singing this during my dog walking antics.

Why do I tell people this stuff? Must be the tablets...
