While attending a seminar.

 Aren't these lovely beads? A colleague at the English Teachers' seminar that I attended early in September was wearing it. She made it herself with semi precious beads from Istanbul! Isn't it gorgeous?

 Well better looking at those gorgeous beads than the series of narrow windows of the school we were at.
I have to do some essays again for the next seminar but unfortunately they increased the number of essays and projects and decreased the number of days we have to prepare them so I might be off the blogland for a couple of days till I finish them.
