I’m working through my next Open University essay, due later this week. Unfortunately I didn’t quite manage my optimistic plan of writing each section at the conclusion of the relevant week’s study and then I was out for the count with flu the weekend before last.

Never mind. I’ve now covered the ground required and am now on the gruelling last leg of polishing each section up and trying to ensure that I’ve given sufficient information (and a suitable pool of learned references) for each bit. I could probably submit now and pass but I want to see if I can do a little better than the bare minimum.

Anyway, I need to get this one out of the way and then see if I can reach my counsel of perfection for number three in March.
