Blog 3 – 3rd September 2015
Sat down to do tonight’s writing and I am struggling to stay awake, but I was determined to get something down so I can try and keep up with this challenge. I am away Sunday/Monday so will also have to make sure I try and keep up with it then as well. Quite happy that…
Winter is… here
It’s a few days until we barrel into December and my first winter with a Campervan. We have had a couple of stopovers in the van in the cold now and I can say I am very glad the Diesel heater was replaced with a good Autotherm one. Definitely makes a difference. It’s friday, although…
10th June 2017 – What am I learning right now
I have an impressive collection of “how to” books and every time I am out and I see a new one I will invariably buy it. I flick through them and add it tot he shelf. As part of the drive to actually do something now I am going to work through them. Maybe this…
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

The BT Phone Book
I was wondering today about the phone book, I dont know where it is in my house as it isnt something that we bother with anymore. We have the numbers we need in our phones and any other number can usually be found using the internet. I was reading an article on writing the other…
Checking in
It’s been two months (to the day), I did say that I wasn’t going to have these long gaps and that using this blog I would start to be a bit more productive. But, as usual, my plans didn’t go off as they should. I flip from one thing to another getting nothing finished. I’m…
NaNoWriMo 2014
It’s getting to that time of the year again, I have started my prep for NaNoWriMo. This is a yearly challenge to write 50,000 word in 30 days, this will be the 5th year I have participated but hopefully the first year I complete it. Previously I have always been at Uni or otherwise too…
