Sickly Saturday

I'm not feeling too well today, but nevertheless, I've been working on Bodie's website. It's almost complete, just a few bits and pieces to add and tweak. Take a look at www.bodiebest.org.uk 
This afternoon, I managed to get out on the patio with only my walking frame to help and I opened the gate to let Lottie out.

I've announced on social media that I'm not going to write for magazines for the time being, concentrating instead on researching and writing the book 'Bodie Best'. Bodie really is a friendly and fascinating person and I'm looking forward to writing about him.

I received my t-shirt and hoodie last night and I'm wearing the t-shirt today. Yesterday we lost the remote control for our little FreeSat box in the bedroom. Simon eventually found it in Lottie's bed!
I am suggesting to Resource Productions (a Slough-based media charity for young people) that they might like to run a 'Creative Writing' course for 17-25-year-olds.

I'm going to let Lottie out in the garden twice more this evening.
