T'was a very busy month, it was... (Do you ever get sick of me telling you that? Sorry!)

Anyway, we're now fully into autumn here with the once yellowing leaves now falling, soon leaving the trees bare and lonely. From next week on I'll be back in intensive classes - this time six weeks in a row straight of 8hr classes (argh...) so am busy trying to draft out posts for the coming weeks - things I can finish up in the evenings.

I'm really quite excited to be going to both BESIG and TESOL France this year (yes, in between the classes - planes and trains carefully scheduled) as I'll be presenting in both on edu-blogging with adult learners.

Really looking forward to both events and if you're going too and we've not yet met (or even if we have) do be sure to come up and say hey, don't be shy - it's always a real treat to meet my readers in person! Although I should warn you I'm no way as extroverted in real-life as I am on the page or in the classroom, but I'm learning, so be patient with me ;-)!

Anyhoo, hope you also enjoyed your October and that November brings you much joy and learning.

Take care,

Karenne

Summer's gone

The leaves on the trees in Stuttgart have started changing colour. It's a really beautiful time of year that comes with a fresh, dry wind offering quite a cool start to the day but it does also have a warming sun in the middle of the afternoons carrying with it a magical golden light.

Perfect for romantic walks through crisp leaves and arriving home to curl up with herbal teas. However this year, it keeps catching me by surprise that the summer has actually gone... mainly because we didn't really have one so I feel a wee bit cheated, like I'm still waiting for the hot days to start. But instead the heating's been turned on and I'm wearing snuggly socks inside my bed slippers.

How was your summer?

Mine, apart from the wet and the mostly cold, was really quite fantastically busy and I found myself running around like a headless chicken - it didn't help, of course, that I had to fight computer problem upon computer problem... but I am finally beginning to catch up on the outstanding tasks in my in-tray as hurrah! I finally got my wee baby AcerAspire his very own Granddaddy... the Z5610 (yes, I know, the whole world is heading towards the i-pad) but I tell ya, after trying to get real work done on 8.9 inches I couldn't wait to get my hands on something bigger, faster,with much more functionality and of course, something you don't need to 'jail-break' into if you want to make it actually worth the price!

Anyway... this wasn't supposed to be an essay on the weather but instead a list of the posts I wrote over the summer which you might have missed while you've been busy yourselves!

Hope you enjoy and don't hesitate to let me know if there's something you'd like written in particular and what your preferred posts are on.

Take care,

Karenne
