Sue's Blog: Progress report
http://smjl123.blogspot.com/2011/08/progress-report.html
Thursday, 4 August 2011. It is my own fault – I got side tracked by. Mr Wroe’s Virgins. And Angela Carter’s. And I’m looking longingly at Neil Gaiman’s oeuvres that I would rather be reading. I have read three and a half books so far. I enjoyed James Kelman’s gritty Scottish. And Helen Simpson’s. Hey Yeah Right Get a Life. I struggled with Jim Crace’s. The best one so far is Tim Winton’s. I’m impressed with the reading list so far. Posted by Sue's Blog. 7 August 2011 at 08:54. Jim Crace’s Being Dea...

Taking a look at the world of sports. The NBA – Where Amazing Contracts Happen. July 9, 2013. As is always the case during the Free Agency period a number of players get paid way in advance of their ability, I’m looking at you Kyle Korver, so let’s have a look at the hole in a team’s salary cap that the top five worst contracts of this coming year have. Gilbert Arenas – $22.3million. Amar’e Stoudemire – $21.7million. Joe Johnson – $21.5million. Brandon Roy – $17.8million. July 5, 2013. A starting lineup ...

Sue's Blog: Which character are you?
http://smjl123.blogspot.com/2011/09/which-character-are-you.html
Wednesday, 14 September 2011. Which character are you? Good morning dear reader, I hope you are well. Do you ever find yourself identifying with characters in books? I’ve empathazised with some very strange characters at times. When I was working I felt like Boxer from. Boxer’s fate still has the capacity to reduce me to tears when I re read it. Unlike poor Boxer, I’ve escaped and I’m off to pastures new. When I left my husband my Aunt gave me a copy of. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Posted by Sue's Blog.

Sue's Blog: Obesity
http://smjl123.blogspot.com/2011/08/obesity.html
Saturday, 27 August 2011. We now have abundance and easy access to tasty food in mammoth quantities. The result is that we have become a nation of gluttons, encouraged by the food industry and supermarkets. If people were suffering rationing now there would not be an obesity epidemic – so it is all down to availability and portions sizes. Smaller plates and bowls might help. What do you think – should people be allowed to get fatter and fatter? Is obesity a matter of our own personal responsibility?

Sue's Blog: Miracles of Life
http://smjl123.blogspot.com/2011/09/miracles-of-life.html
Wednesday, 21 September 2011. The reading list for my MA is colossal (as I mentioned in a previous post), but I am diligently working my way through it. So far the books have all been well written, but some, which shall remain nameless, have been a boring and failed to grip my imagination. For the last two days, however, I have been engrossed in J.G Ballard’s autobiography, Miracles of Life. It is stunning and very moving. I’ve just finished reading it and had to have a good cry.

Sue's Blog: Endings
http://smjl123.blogspot.com/2011/09/endings.html
Tuesday, 13 September 2011. Yesterday was a full moon – a time of endings. A group of us met in our university coffee shop. It felt like it would be the last time we would all be there together. It was strange and sad to see the freshers clutching their welcome packs and getting their photos and computer passwords sorted out. We felt like unwanted old chicks tossed out of the nest to make way for the new ones. Posted by Sue's Blog. 13 September 2011 at 12:20. Good suggestion - thanks for that. Sorry, Eng...

http://smjl123.blogspot.com/2011/09/valete-omnes.html
Wednesday, 7 September 2011. It was my graduation yesterday and it was one of the happiest days of my life. My family came to watch my two minutes of fame and my short-lived career on the stage. I was very lucky to study at Wolverhampton University and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is the most student- friendly and nurturing university in the UK and has the best and most inspiring lecturers. Posted by Sue's Blog. We shall definitely miss you. Stay in touch. 7 September 2011 at 16:25. It is au r...

Sue's Blog: Shoddy clothes
http://smjl123.blogspot.com/2011/09/shoddy-clothes.html
Monday, 19 September 2011. Is it just my imagination or is the quality of clothes deteriorating whilst the price is increasing. Years ago one could purchase items of clothing form a certain high street store that were so robust that they seemed to last forever – now the same establishment produces stuff that fades, bobbles and disintegrates rapidly after purchase. The fabric that clothes are made from also seems to be thinner and a lot of items are almost ‘see-through’. Posted by Sue's Blog. A good time ...

Sue's Blog: Violence
http://smjl123.blogspot.com/2011/08/violence.html
Wednesday, 3 August 2011. I was shocked to learn today that one of my childhood heroes has become a violent thug. The villain in question threw a pizza at Paul Daniels. Paul Daniels ended up being hospitalized due to an eye injury and had to cancel his gigs. Who committed this dreadful act – yes, it was Sooty! Posted by Sue's Blog.
