Saturday Stuff
It is Saturday morning around 8:30 and I have been up for awhile, I have some written work to look after before I do anything else; if I don’t write it down now it will continue to bother me while I do my usual week end chores around the house. I seem to be working all the time, my brain is given a taks to think something through and responds very easily with a solution when it comes to coding and organising material.
The material is quite important and needs to be 200% accurate so I will work at this text today, with Toshi, my laptop, at my side while I do more mundane work in the kitchen. The first step towards writing this text is to write the notes which have brewed and matured in my head since I read the brief on Thursday afternoon in a cafe on Nassau street opposite Trinity University in Dublin.
Time to prepare a coffee filter and pen down the notes.
The process of thinking and writing down the thoughts is an easy one for me but I have noticed that for some of my students it feels more like a enormeous hurdle rather then a pleasure, so I take great care in guiding them along the path of thought expression.
10:12 After breakfast & coffee and some household tasks
As planned, I wrote the notes by hand while I was sitting on the couch with a slice of toast with margarine and homemade jam (raspberries from Tadcan’s garden).
Next is planning the layout of the document, sorting out the title and header + footer, checking the original document layout for clues ….

I made a very good beginning for the document, even ploughed into the second part; so I have typed out what I had in my mind now need to think some more..
