Diary: August 2002
I'm teaching again. This week I have Design and Publishing in the morning, and WWW in the afternoon.
I ALWAYS hate this course (DTP - and please note how I use all of the HTML formatting tags I can remember to subtly and yet strikingly re-enforce my point). However, so far it's going brilliantly.

Having a bad day today.
Woke up late after sleeping badly.
Got stuck behind some idiot who wanted to do 30 all the way in the 60. Then when I get to Tonbridge, the road at the entrance is being re-done, so I had to park in the road round the corner.
