Monday 4th March

St. David's day has come and gone.

I've been increasing my exercise and today managed to reach the bench in our communal garden.

I've been studying my "Creative Writing - non-fiction" course and have reached the end of Module Two. Module Three won't be 'unlocked' for another seven days.

I'm currently researching material for two articles for Dogs Today magazine. 'Offenders training puppies to become 'assistance' dogs' and 'Volunteering and Dogs'. I've visited loads of websites and facebook pages.




I've been working since 11am and am now packing it in as it's 5pm.

As you can see, I didn't pack it in as it's now nearly 8:30pm. I've been trying to find a magazine website that I couldn't find, but have so done now. The magazine is called 'SICK' and I've submitted my article BEST'S FRIENDS to them for consideration.

I'm definitely going to pack it in now!
