I've been a busy boy today. I've been researching and approaching magazines that might take my work. I've also had three commissions for articles for 'Dogs Today' magazine and researching material for these.
Does anyone read my ramblings?

A bit of writing.
I've been studying an 'Article Writing and Freelance Journalism' course provided by https://www.writers-online.co.uk/. This weekend, I've completed and submitted Assignment six of nine. I'm really enjoying the course. It's challenging but interesting.
I've also completed and submitted my article 'Search and Rescue Dogs' for 'Dogs Today' magazine.
This afternoon I'm planning to do some research into magazines I might be able to contribute to.

Easter update.
I've updated my website www.richardhill.co.uk today. I've removed some of the superfluous bit's and pieces from the homepage and added an article on 'Pine Ridge Dog Sanctuary' to the 'Latest' page.

Website Upgrade!
This week, I'm hoping to update my website. I have to edit the homepage and update and add my 'Pine Ridge Dog Sanctuary' article. Then I'll leave it alone for the time being.

Getting back to writing.
I'm slowly getting used to living with a disability. My laptop also had a disability, it kept crashing. So I've invested in a replacement, an ASUS and so far, so good! Watch this space!

Hospitalised
I'm in hospital. I've had a small stroke. I'm okay. Watch this space.
24/03/25 I've been in hospital again, this time for 28 days. I've been unable to stand or walk, and I've been told by one doctor that's how I'll be from now on.
I'm home again but still confined to bed, although I can use a wheelchair. I hope to start writing again soon.
Again, watch this space!

New Years Day 2025
I'm starting 2025 the same way that I left 2024 - in bed.
I'm having difficulty walking and keeping my balance. I'm having problems with my legs, the right one in particular. They hurt where they implanted the titanium rods and screws.
I haven't felt like writing; instead, I watch television and listen to music on my laptop.
