It’s been ages since it was updated. It seems like I’ve got out of the habit of blogging altogether as there’s too much I really can’t talk about. My job is pretty much off limits - too much confidential stuff there, and there are limits to what I want to say about my own family and children as they deserve their own privacy. My writing is going well but that has its own blog (which probably isn’t updated as regularly as it should be either!) and I haven’t really been doing much that would interest anyone (unless you have an obsessional interest in tumble driers or goats cheese - and no, not together!

So… what’s left to talk about?

NaNoWriMo is coming up in just over a month (was it really a year since the last one?) and I’ve had really cool and positive editorial feedback on the last book. They think it’s publishable (wooohooo!) so there’s loads of positives there.

On the negative side, we’ve just been allocated a duff social worker who really doesn’t seem to know what he’s doing. We’re trying to get reallocated before he lands us in a nasty mess as he’s the sort of person who leaps to conclusions and that’s not so far from ridiculous and untrue allegations. We’ve seen too many nice people get burned at the hands of social services, so we’re trying to head this one off at the pass. We’ve got a valid complaint of him overstepping the mark so far and hopefully that will be enough to get him taken off our case.

Fingers crossed.
