Definitely!

Your description of the day was fun in itself :)

That sounds fascinating, and if definitely writing — valuable writing!

I also have several exercises from last session I could work up :)

Session formally starts next week, so gthere will be exercise prompts each week (also lots of reading)

My tutors have been very encouraging — I'm still nervous but I figure the competitions are a nice easy way to start sending stuff out, and a relatively harmless hobby in themselves :)

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Thanks — I'm going to try :)

That sounds... challenging. Good luck!

I think I did try to write some once, but mostly I just let them hurt by themselves! :D I hope you figure out a satisfactory solution.

[ylla.livejournal.com]

It does!

It should be, I hope - it's just that sometimes the 100 words of writing takes quite a bit of reading or whatever, and that's the bit I always try to avoid :D

Locally, I would say - Edinburgh council generally decorate their Nelson monument, while North Tyneside council hold a gathering at the Collingwood memorial at Tynemouth, and Morpeth's town council one at his house there. There's a service at St Paul's in London, as well (where Nelson and Collingwood are both buried), but generally I know about the northern ones - no doubt there are more little local ones in the south.

(And in the navy - I was in Gibraltar on Trafalgar Day once, and there was a fairly big formal service in the old graveyard there.)

Behaving is overrated. 😈
