Letter writing and not much else.

I haven't done a lot of writing this week. Well, for that you could read almost non which would be more accurate. I did write a letter to The Guardian though which is something I suppose. It was part of my "experiment" and also something that I have never done before. I don't usually have time to read a newspaper but I flicked through the magazine part last week and found something that actually caught my interest so I gave them my opinion on it. We'll see if they take note of it but I'm not holding my breath. I have also read a couple of issues of WN like I said I would but I don't think I have anything in my current works in progress that fits the bill so I will have to come up with a new idea. I have however had a very relaxing week. I've had a potter or two in tha garden, the odd sweep of a paint brush (on walls not canvas) and finished the biography of Mary Tudor that my youngest son bought me for Mother's Day. Today (Friday, Himself and I are off to Northallerton for the day. It's a bit of a trek but it will be worth it. I was offerred a job there lat year and we went to see if I could manage the commute but I decided that I couldn't. The driving didn't bother me it was the thought of sitting in the car for an hour and a bit after work each day. The ten minutes that it takes me now is much more to my liking. Anyway, I digress a little but that is what we will be doing today and then the weekend is for relaxation before going back to the day job on Monday. One last thing. Bit of a random question I know but can anyone come up with what to buy a man (Himself) as a pearl wedding anniversary present? Ta x

Bit obvious, I suppose, but pearl or mother-of-pearl cufflinks and/or tiepin?

Nothing wrong with either of those Kath - thanks.

Hi Colette - let us know how you get on with that letter, at least you wrote something. I was sick with flu last week.. I didn't write anything. Today I woke up and made an effort and posted on my blog. That counts, right? lol Ahh I will make more effort this week with my short stories.. in between sneezing :-)

Hope you're feeling better Diane. I can't be doing with flu - it just makes you feel yuk and like doing nothing. Yes a blog post definitely counts.
