Hi rani

How? I will be coming to SL in two weeks time, on 7th april, and will leave soon after the new year. Lots of work to finish before that but we just finished an exam on curriculum design and the term finished yesterday. Two assignments to write in two weeks and to complete the dissertation proposal. I might do the proposal at home, if Chris doesn't start shouting!! How is Rose Akka? The situation must be the same, no? Hope to see you both this time when I come!

You must be happy about the cricket. I never watch TV here but there's a Pakistani chap in my unit who keeps updating me. My mother must be thrilled as well.

Chris is back home after nearly two months here -- his father was ill with an infected leg. He's now ok. Today they were all going to see the Gratiaen Awards. Sammy is a judge this time. He will come back and say all sorts of catty things about the whole show!

If you want any books on testing or anything please tell rani, I can bring. I have ordered some books on corpora and on second language writing (I really liked both modules) but they will be here only on the 20th of April! Never mind. Next term its only Literature in ELT and the dissertation.

Will go now. Do drop a line if you're free. Simon was very happy with your feedback, by the way. He has finally printed out the first draft.

lots of love
