Saturday morning… I’m looking forward to meeting up with some ex-pupils and some new members at the monthly Chatterbooks session at the local library. It’s a very chatty little group; they enjoy reading and talking about books. This month the theme is spies and thrillers. I’ve planned a few activities and, thanks to our Community Librarian, […]

Owl Music
Well, Friday has come around quickly this week and I only managed to complete one chapter. Yes, the first draft of Chapter 8 is complete; it ended with Lily feeling betrayed by Danny and sick from the bullying at school that is only getting started. Chapter 9 is pretty much planned. I have also found […]
Joni Mitchell interviewed by Morrissey from 1996
This morning I came across an interview with a journalist who was also a friend of Joni’s; this led me to looking at other videos with Joni Mitchell on YouTube and I found this interview with Morrisey.

Another blogging how to…?
I would like to link posts with pages. For example, after writing the Summers Past blog this morning, I wrote a poem and put it on a new page. I would like to create a link between the blog and the page, so that readers of the blog can also read the poem. Any helpful […]
It’s taking shape
If any WordPress bloggers out there have tips on organising pages, I would be very grateful to receive them. I was struggling to organise posts and pages into menus and have just found out how to give menus headings. I think this little website is starting to take shape. I would like to separate the Writing menu into […]
I can see clearly
My new glasses have changed my eyesight! I can see clearly without straining and the frame fits perfectly; no more headaches, no more specs slipping down my nose and having to be pushed back up every few minutes. They look good too. While I was in Norwich, I managed to find an outfit for my […]
This morning looks brighter
What a shame the rain put parents and children off the Summer Reading Challenge event yesterday. I got to Stalham library with plenty of time, however, only six children and their parents were there to listen to me read A Squash and a Squeeze; I even sang the refrain but they were too shy to […]
