I’ve been out since 8am, and was at the show from about 10am to 5:30, so I am exhausted. I’ll post more over the weekend.
Written with author Bryan Mealer, the book nevertheless captures William Kamkwamba’s voice, and is a great read.
However, I do have a tendancy to only have one book on the go at any one time, and if I am not enjoying it, it can take me forever to finish. I feel I have to finish the book, but reading starts to seem like a chore, and I am reduced to a grudging few pages a day.
What is worse, I am actually supposed to be “on holiday” this week – nothing actually booked for most of the week, but the idea was going to be that I got some jobs done in the garden and around the house, and if the weather was good, perhaps go out for a day. Instead I have done zip, except sit and read and watch more “24”. I can’t even do any music, as I can’t sing with my chest like this.
As I normally work from home, I carried on working until Thursday, when it became too much for me. I spent most of Thursday and much of Friday either asleep in bed or snoozing on the sofa, which is why, when it got to Friday evening, I wasn’t a bit tired. I mean, I went to bed, but I wasn’t sleeping, so I got up again.

I didn’t know a lot about the movie, except for the trailer, which showed Leonardo Dicaprio in what seemed to be in some kind of standard horror/shocker. However, I was looking for a film to see, and was surprised when I saw from the poster that it was directed by Martin Scorcese. I thought “this must be more than a simple horror/shocker”, and I was right.
The trip was a success – I spent a lot more time in the Trafford Centre than I had planned to, due to the rain (it is Manchester, after all!), but I had a great time. Highlights include:
