Week 3, Exercise 5

This photo of a comet (http://www.flickr.com/photos/esaheki/368180116/) reminds me of a night more than 30 years ago. I was drifting off to sleep, when suddenly I saw a bright light through my bedroom curtains. It kept getting bigger and brighter, bigger and brighter. 'til I thought surely it was going to crash through my window. And then just as suddenly it was gone. I have to assume it was a meteor that fell to earth and it had to be some miles away, because there was no sound associated with the phenomenon. Look at all the "stars" in this photo. Doesn't the concept of infinite space just boggle the mind?

Week 2, Exercise 4

Actually, my first post should have been labelled Week 2, Exercise 3. What was I saying about things only getting better? :-) And it's a foregone conclusion that I must have completed Week 1, Excercise 1 and 2. OK, now that we've got that cleared up... The toughest thing for me is to pick an end. There are so many things I'd like to learn about. Despite what I said before, using technology to my advantage is usually the easiest bit. Probably the toughest thing about this course will be keeping the reports labelled correctly!

Week 1, Exercise 2

After many trials and tribulations, starts and restarts, I finally have a blog!!! Technology was definitely not my friend last week. Have to say, it dampened my enthusiasm somewhat. Things can only get better...
