They don't like Cleopatra do they!

Early to the gym, in chucking it down weather, and read a bit more having a coffee before hand..

Horace and his Ode... actually found it fascinating more because of the explanatory text in the course book... Spin on a grand scale! Once you put things into context though it becomes more easy to understand.. starting to wonder what she (Cleopatra) was really like though, and do we actually know anything about her that is true.. have today thought that this very first part of the course has been interesting, and this from a peasant who knows nothing!

Dont want to go digging just yet though, still finding my feet on the course...thoughtful

So bloody glad all of the festivities are now over and I can get back to some sort of normality, and as a new retiree, feeling slightly smug, but not a bit guilty, that a lot of people are back to work today big grin


Didn't do any more today, as i am getting ready to to Leyburn in Yorkshire for a few days hill walking.. long journey, I live in Hereford. Got a thing in the back of my mind that Richard III home is near there, but for the life of me cant remember the name of his castle... I will visit, but it might just be a few fields now! sad
