A good news day, of sorts

Getting some pretty hot weather here of late. Thankfully, today was fairly cool with a slight drizzle of rain in the afternoon

I'll send you supportive thought for the cardiologist. I have to see one too, soon, when the verdict is in as to what went wrong.

I did a similar European modern history coruse to you in my first year at university. If any of your textbooks were first published in the 1970s, I might still have them!

Thanks, it's just a checkup on my pacemaker but still a scary experience when they start running calibration tests on it. :S

I can't wait to do European history, particularly the periods I never had the opportunity to learn at school. Not enough of it is covered by University of Canberra sadly. I wouldn't be surprised if my textbooks are similar to earlier prints. According to co-op bookshop I have to pick up a 'Early Modern Europe, 1450-1789' by Wiesner-hanks and 'Europe 1783-1914' by Simpson & Jones. Urgh, looks like an expensive trip to the bookshop again!

If it's any consolation, I still use my undergrad textbooks to help me with fiction, so it's not money wasted. All the history textbooks I have from my undergrad days have been useful at one time or another, even though they're so dated now.

Good luck with the cardiologist. I'll be sending good thoughts your way. It must be scary. ;;

65k? That's quite a feat.

Good luck with the cardiologist.

Eh, more like 65k of poor dialogue and stilted descriptions. :P However, it is a good start, given that I haven't written as much as I would have liked in the last six years.
