Friday 28th Oct

 Hi,

I've had a very bad morning this morning but am beginning to feel better now. I've worked out the html coding to put audio on my website. I've recorded a "Sorry, this poem hasn't been recorded yet." to put and play next to the poems that aren't ready yet. I've tried to record a poem myself, but it sounds terrible. I'm slurring my words (as I often do when unwell). So, I've put an 'appeal' on the 'Slough Writers Social' page asking if anyone would like to record one or more of my poems for me. They can do it from home and save it as an mp3 file which they can email to me.

I've also found a 10 minute recording of waves crashing on a pebble beach. This will go somewhere on my 'freewriting' page so that anyone wants to try freewriting for themselves. It will act as a timer.

Got a copy of 'The Sun' newspaper for the horoscope section. Have converted the required piece into a pdf file.

That's all for now.
