Dear All,
I started my new U3A class this week “Antarctica in a Nutshell”. The first lecture was excellent introducing geography, climate, exploration and research bases with some spectacular photography.

It was much easier to follow than my other class on “Geodyssey” which this week was on the “Proterozoic Eon” evidently a period of 2000 million years where not much happened apart from bacteria appearing and most of the worlds iron being laid down.
We have started working on our dining room this week by clearing most of it, ordering a new sideboard/dresser combination and taking delivery of a Persian carpet.
I was at Wisley on Wednesday on a gloomy day when the mist and fog did not really lift (but was sunny all day at Over). We were judging late cauliflowers and leeks and tasting sweet potatoes.
On Friday I walked to the Post Office – which used to be a 5 min. toddle into the village but now thanks to the recent closures means a 45 min walk to Willingham. I was posting a parcel and card for Mary-Ann who celebrates another birthday today, I am sure she appreciates the effort even though I have learnt that only the card turned up on time.
In the evening we went to the cinema to see “Slum Dog Millionaire”. It was excellent and easily the best (and only!) film I have seen this year.
Yesterday we held a CEEM Training Day at St Neots for any one interested in Moldova either supporting or visiting. There were 32 there and I did a couple of presentations about the agricultural projects.
We have been entertaining today, Janet and Jim Burr; Janet has been struggling following a heart valve operation. Kate has now popped into work to feed and divide her latest batch of cells.
My other purchase this week was a half dozen Rummy Nosed Tetras, small fish which look as though they have bloody noses.
