Just a picture today purloined from Facebook friend...

Been very busy working, think I am settling in well now, every day is different, every day is a learning curve, lots to remember, a whole lot more not to get wrong!!!

Its not a job I can talk about too much, so will add I am editing on a new book for Peter Maddocks 

It is an updated version of a book we have previously published, The Pig & Whistle of Downtrotter Farm... this one will be bursting with full color drawings, bringing the whole story to life for children to enjoy more fully!

I am also about to receive another book from LJ Bush, a book of poetry and art all by Lorraine... to put together and publish on Kindle/Paperback.

Our car had a hiccup at the MOT station last week, FAILED!! to be precise!!  So had some work done on its body, mmmmm, not a bad idea!!  And some on the engine, apparently its being driven hard enough, too many short journeys, Franco is only 3.4 miles to work and I am even less!!  It needs to be driven further once in a while, probably once a week, blow out the cobwebs, given the engine and oil inside it a chance to actually move about a bit!!!

Not feeling very talkative, mind is full of new job, bit tired, and stuff..... oh just thought I can put up a couple of photos I took on the longest day.... it was a bit cloudy, therefore taking some of the light, but I took these gone half past ten at night.... shame about the clouds...

But you the gist.... light isn't it!  I had to get the palm tree in on the upper photo of course! 

What can I say about my new job?  I work a full week, over any day out of seven, and several different shift patterns and sleep ins...

I seem to be moving backwards today than forwards!  Haven't started on work, spoken with friends and done the washing, hanging out now with the beautiful blue above, the sun high in the sky and a breeze making everything flap away to dry off!

Did I mention I am in the top 50 of the Authors Date Base.... AUTHORSdB.com I probably did, and this is the second week!  Brilliant stuff!  Great to be honoured by your peers and to be appreciated like this... thank you!

I am about to start work on a new book for Peter Maddocks, and hoping friend who I am helping out, will get her book live next week on kindle & in paperback too!

I went out last night!!! shock horror!!!! A friends birthday today, and just us girls went to town last evening, a local club, drinks and dancing, and more dancing.... not sure how, but I feel great today!  Couldn't hardly walk by the end of the evening, and now, already, I am looking forward to going again!

Out again tonight, not for long, same group of girls but with family too this time!  Won't be late....

We are having the best weather, more blue skies and sunshine, been a few months now, it feels anyhows, a few cloudy days here and there, but really not bad... it is cold though, yesterday morning in town the wind was bitter, everyone was hunkered down and people were complaining and moaning in the streets about it, and other matters!!  I was in a great mood though and strode out head high, and actually apart from the cold on my face felt quite toasty in my coat!

Franco is getting in good training for his sponsors bike ride for Amazon in a couple of weeks, he is cycling to and from work, which is good, although nowhere near the distance he will have to go on the day!  When he is off next week he will have to try the route maybe and I will pick him up from there....
