Friday

I'm not feeling well this morning so I'm just sitting in my reclining settee organising the files in my laptop. I'm also 'tidying up' my emails.

Dogs Today magazine have expressed an interest in publishing my article Best's Friends. Things seem to be moving along and I've sent them a couple of other ideas for doggy articles.

When I feel better, by lunchtime I hope, I'm going to sit out on our patio and transcribe the interviews I conducted with 'Newfs in Action' at their event on Sunday.

I've enrolled in a course Writing for Magazines with City Lit, a six-week online course, beginning in October. I'm being sponsored by Resource Productions, a media, and arts charity in Slough.
