Dissertation

I have been at a workshop all day on how to write a dissertation. A daunting prospect when you first look at it but breaking it down today we really started to see that it's not as big as it first seemed. Broken into a few chapters it doesn't seem much space to deal with a topic. I have an idea of my topic but need to decide how to attack it. I guess I had better start reading. I am not sure if the essay technique which I have used to date will be feasible for the longer project as it is quite time consuming, but it does have the advantage that by the time I start writing I know exactly where I am going and how I am going to get there. May need to start and see how it goes.

Monday moans

Well, not the way I planned to start my blog but I have had one of those days and I need to moan. Having waited in most of the day for a washing machine repair man (whohas aleready been once and not fixed it) for a machin which has been broken for over 2 weeks, I was told he had tried to come but not found parking so went away! I woke up this morning to discover that the freeview has died and this afternoon the shredder packed up. Is technology ganging up on me? Things can only get better (or at least I hope so!)
