Monday

The day's started out badly. My right (bad) leg is extremely painful, at rest, and more so, so when I'm trying to walk, I can only manage a few slow, small steps over short distances (a few metres or so). I had a fitful night's sleep, waking at regular intervals needing to take painkillers. I went to sleep around midnight and didn't wake-up (proper) until 9am.

I've been reading and researching material from (and exploring) the syllabus from the 'National Centre of Writing' webpages 'Creative Non-Fiction: An introduction'. This morning, I'm about to start reading 'Freelance Writing for magazines and newspapers.'.

I spent last night researching resources for: 'Dogs and truckers' and 'Dogs and narrowboats' amongst other things. I now have to sit and wait, checking back to the forums and Facebook groups every couple of days.

I've been going back through my 'archive'. Here is my very first article in print from 1996: 'Chocolate on the Shroppie'. And here is one of the most recent from 2023: 'Newfs in Action'.
