Reading and Writing, plus Editing
I have had some busy times with my brother's wedding in Greece, which went wonderfully and was a welcome break from the dull English weather. I continue to edit my book and have recently completed reading A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth, Animal Farm by George Orwell, Dune by Frank Herbert and Watership Down by Richard Adams - all books from The BBC Big Read reading list. I highly recommend the list. Out of 60 books I have so far read from the list, I have yet to read one I didn't enjoy.

Day 19: Too Little Time, Too Little Time!
Too little time and so much to do! I got a haircut and thought I was getting a free photo shoot with it as free but this was due to talking at cross-purposes and I must come back later for the photo shoot which may be reduced from £90 to £25 or £30. Most confusing, as they had an ad saying the photo shoot was free! Still, some things must be done and I need the photo for professional purposes now - for the website, which I must still get to grips with! I have a completed author profile - now I must do all the other things too. Need a holiday! Saw my friend at choir yesterday which was good and read another friends short story today which was touching. That reminds me, I want to start doing some newspaper reviews and magazine reviews of books - may even do so on the net. However, may go down to Sussex for some fresh air and a brief break. Finally finished the book I've been reading from the BBC Big Read Top 100 Best Books of All Time: Swallows and Amazons. Now I will begin David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. I think I already read it when I was a kid but may have given up half way as it a long one! Only about fifty books left to read and I will have read the whole list.
