The book is launched
The book launch on Saturday went brilliantly well, especially the mini scones with jam and cream. There are a few brownies and some cake left, but nothing too disastrous for a homeworker who can’t forget what’s lurking in the cake tins. It was lovely to see friends from different phases of my life, especially as they all seemed to enjoy meeting one another and to find plenty to talk about.
Here I am talking to Bill Greenwell, one of my tutors on the MA Prof Writing course and one of the best teachers I’ve ever met. He has mentioned me on his blog – see the entry for April 7 on http://billgreenwell.wordpress.com – which is a great destination for homeworkers like me who have to ease themselves gently into the day and find that good writing on the web is an excellent way to achieve this. Bill has a wonderful way with words (maybe something to do with the fact he’s a poet!) and knows how to tell a good story. I particularly recommend you click on Home at the top of the page and then Previous Entries (bottom of the next) to read Other People’s Stories and The Radiographer’s Story if you want to start your day with a laugh.
The day after the launch I came down with a shocking cold, which is why it’s taken me so long to write a post about the big day. Even when you’re working from home, away from the tensions of the traditional workplace, it can happen that as soon as you relax after a period of stress or working hard, you immediately fall ill. So I’ve had a few days of taking it easy, but now it’s back to the keyboard.
