To whom it may concern
I don't want to sleep with Britney anyway.

Busy Bee
I have been soooo busy so far this week. Up to my neck in lessons. Once again I've been given really nice kids to work with. It's such a good feeling when you see that they've finally understood something the've been struggling with for a while.

Any of you who visit The Report Card will know how frustrating life can be in a language school. I've been lucky up to now, but Karine, who does the office as well, has a pupil this week for French. No one told her he was dyslexic.

Dom: No, but I really like gin.

It's fine day
I tried to buy that single years ago. It was very difficult because it wasn't in the charts so they didn't stock it. How did singles get into the charts?

It is a beautiful morning. My mauve irises are starting to flower. They are perfect. Everything is so green, in a couple of months it will all dry up and look like a desert. Will I be out enjoying all of this? No. Rob has lost the bill for when the computer was updated. If I have a moment could I possibly look for it. It might be folded into four amongst some other papers but he's not sure which or where. Unfortunately, I am better at finding things than he is, wouldn't you know it?
Dom's home
Well, she hasn't been sold into the white slave trade as her friends predicted. We were asked to be at the pick up point at 11.45 and they arrived five minutes later! She looked very tired and pale. We tried not to ask too many questions so I can't say much, except she had a great time. Everyone was very welcoming and she ate lots of cake. This morning I have found two weeks worth of laundry in the basket. I can't wait for her to wake up!
40% good, 60% bad
Yesterday evening, Rob found a site that helps you sort out your computer. I'll find the name when he comes home. He set it up to do an analysis and we got the result that 60% was badly installed. He's now done the necessary and we have 60%good, 40% bad. He still has some more steps to do. Fingers crossed.

Dear Mr. Sutton,
Please excuse me for copying your page onto my site without asking. I did try to send an e-mail, but your address is invalid. I looked for the transcription for "Who knows where the time goes" but could only find the lyrics.

Thank you anyway

I realize that Roy Harper is not to everyone's taste. I finally found the lyrics to one of my favorites. To be listened to with earphones in a darkened room.

"Roy Harper - Hallucinating Light
Transcription by Nigel Sutton (G.N.P.Sutton@ste0418.wins.icl.co.uk)
Clues for the persistant. (computers - don't you just love 'em)

Regs, Vaguely Mindwarp (found but not bound)

P.S. This is a great song. Does anyone have a transcription for another great ballad - Sandy Denny's "Who knows where the time goes?".


A song transcription.

Hallucinating Light
---------------------

Locked in mortal combat as the future shadows loom
D G D C/C C/B D
The guardian of my spirit fights his way across the room
G D C/C C/B D
To where the sick majority infest the myths of doom
G D C/C C/B D
But the lanterns of children hold firm in full bloom
G C D G

And we'll walk a long long way
D D D
Oh, together.
D G
Though we found ourselves that way
C G
Long before we knew.
D
Ah, but you know the way its worked I feel that
G D
when I laugh it with your soul.
C/C C/B D
And when I cry..........................Its you
C D G D C/C C/B D

I ride inside the purple dawn collecting golden due
That falls from citidels of dreams I shake whilst flying through
Creation's key seems just in reach, ah but then its overdue
But as darkness surrounds us I'm reaching for you.

Far across the universe the goblins of the night
Sometimes corner sunrise and keep it out of sight
And wandering the crossing minds, hallucinating light
Is the dream that I have of you holding me tight.


It's standard tuning. The C/C, C/B are to represent bass notes. I've "remembered this whilst at work so its best treated as a set of clues rather than any gospel truth. "
Dr. Phil's test
I just took another test. Interesting results:

Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.
