Winkle - walk with Tess, Fran and me. English countryside at its best, even so muddy.

Influence

Does the reading really matter? Today, I have been reading the Sunday Times. I loved the adaptation of Charles Dickens's story - Great Expectations. It was an article about Gillian Anderson who portrayed Miss Havisham. I liked the description of Miss Havisham as wizened old bat, jilted bride.
I also learnt: What's the Dickens?

We consume  stories, articles, and will they just pass through us undigested like a grain of corn?

I also read summary about last year. I tried to recall all those events and remember them.
-January - Tabak was arrested on the 20th and Sudan was divided into two countries
-February - Forests were sold in England
-March - Japanese Earthquake
-April - Royal Wedding ....

My two miscarriages and unsuccessful application for a new job, new house and a mortgage, which needs finishing. Partner's lost job and living cheaply in his mum's house.

Great Expectations for Next Year?
