I forgot a day! Didn’t realise until earlier and now I am really annoyed with myself. Not quite sure where last night went, today has also flown by. My sons birthday so as well as doing birthday stuff for him we went to the cinema and for food. When I got back I found out…
I am behind on reading my magazines but just started on my .net ones. One of the small news items that I saw was really interesting, so I thought I would share it here. The idea is that children go missing all the time and making use of the digital age the guys at notfound…
After the last couple of posts I have been trying to think on why I Procrastinate so much and it’s not because I don’t want to write, I want more than anything to see my books in the local Waterstones next to my favourite authors. To be able to leave work and write full time…

I have finally joined the long tradition of writing on a laptop in a cafe, well a Costa. Something about sitting here writing just makes it feel good, wish I could get the motivation more often, I might actually have something finished that way.
