Eating elephants

Posted by derekdohren on October 27, 2009 at 7:16 AM

There is an old Chinese proverb that asks, "How do you eat an elephant?", and answers with, "one bite at a time..."

 

I'm more than half way through my elephant now. I've just got the head and trunk to go. I think those pesky tusks may require a superhuman effort though.

 

Anyway, a bit of light relief. I just finished my 4th teaching class. I think it's a sign of progress to report a rather hum-drum lesson with very little happening in the way of excitement or (thankfully) disaster.

 

They filed in, I taught them, they filed out.

 

I forgot to show you this. I worked a bit more on my painting at the weekend. I think it's pretty much done...

 

 

 

Anyway, I've got shedloads to be getting on with, so I will catch you again whenever.
