Whose brilliant idea was it to hold the
NAWG festival of writing and Swanwick so close together? It would be fine if I
didn’t have to teach at both events. I’ve been working on my short story course
for NAWG for much of today. It’s more or less done now thahnk goodness. There
will only be between 6 and 10 in each class so that should make it more
manageable than Swanwick. This year the NAWG Festival is in Nottingham. There are still places
if you want to join us. www.nawg.co.uk
I’m feeling totally worn out with not
enough energy to even weed the garden. Raffy the cute terrier is coming to stay
for a couple of days so I’ll have to get up early tomorrow so I’m ready.
Hopefully his playfulness will be catching and I can manage to pull myself out
of my chair.
I had lots of calls today but not from the
people who were meant to come and fix my leaking pond.
The most interesting call was from the Attendance
Allowance people who confirm that Mum was receiving it and that it had been
paid with her pension so I know where THAT money went. The good news is that
they stopped paying AA from end August as they weren’t sure if Mum was paying
her own fees. As she definitely was, they will pay what she should have received,
i.e. from end August until when she
died, directly to me once they’ve sorted out the paperwork so that’s some more good
news. Of course the other phone call I’m waiting for will come from Exeter to say that
Denis has gone, but that might be another day or two yet.
As they say, watch this space.
