Thursday

Not feeling at all well this morning. My blood glucose levels are very high so I've injected some insulin.


I'm on my own for a while. Simon is out shopping, so I don't want to risk falling over. I'm staying in bed doing some bits and pieces (including this!).

The editor of 'Dogs Today' magazine says she has a sufficient stock of articles from me for the time being. But added: " You could write for the online edition [Dogs Monthly] - but that's more newsled. Will have a word with the team. There are some interesting people who have started dog related businesses that you could interview. Ask them what inpired them etc? Does that sound interesting? Inventors, innovators etc." Yes, I'm interested! It's a new challenge. So she's going to contact their team next week and suggest me doing somework for them.

In the meantime, I've sent her some links to my previously published work to pass on to demonstrate my experience:
So - watch this space!
