Coffee cake sounds great! It goes so good with a nice cup of coffee(go figure). Thanks May. A little later I would love some apple cider.

may B . apple cinnamon cofffee cake sounds yummy with my tea.

thanks for the extra candy from everyone i'll be topping up my sugar levels after i get back from class later on.

I have astonished myself and just washed the dishes!! hopefully it will be easier leaving the house tonight. i seem to have a little more energy today..i have a couple of hours to get myself into a bath and find clothes to wear.

I have a really nice group this term, some for the last three of four years who are coming along nicely and two rather interesting new ones. one writes a kind of poetic prose and the other wants to write a self help book. so i'm tailoring parts of the course to meet their needs too. the banter is the best part, we have such fun and always go over time! and still the dread each week before!!!!

hope monday is good to all here.

That coffee cake sounds delicious!

Irish, class sounds so compelling and fun!!

I think I'm gonna need more coffee, everyone....on cup two, so I'll make a new pot!

Irishwriter, are you an English/writing professor? That's so cool!

It's movie time in the lounge. I'm setting up a projector and showing one of my favorite short films. This is by Lana Del Rey, starring her, and it's called Tropico. Hope you like:
