It bemuses Lynn, but I am so enjoying a proofreading course I've just started. The intention is to be able to offer my services as a freelance eventually, but for the moment it's surprisingly good fun - who would have thought? Possibly it's because a) I tend to doodle absently in the margins anyway, and the course simply requires that I doodle with a little more purpose; b) you get to use blue and red pens and also a pencil, which means a trip to the stationers; and c) I feel like a student again.. Bring it on!
