A few preparations

Both of us up early, Lorraine had to take Pat the dentist and I had to prepare the interview for my latest victim, Peter Daniels. Once this was sent off, I chatted with Mum and Toby as they had a late breakfast, then did a bit of writing, and had a long walk down by the sea this afternoon. 

Lorraine and I planning a trip to Inverness and tonight booked some accommodation.  Lorraine's pal Carolyn is getting married, and we thought we'd have a few days in Scotland, and also see Sam on the way up as he has recently moved to Glasgow after his relationship with Jade ended. 

Lorraine cooked a new recipe from her Zoe cookbook today, which was rather delicious, with meatballs made from black beans and miso. Sadly the balls disintegrated into the sauce but it was still delicious. To bed early as Lorraine has to be up early to take Beth off to hospital in Brighton tomorrow for a gestational diabetes test. 

Read another of my Everyman The Stories of Ray Bradbury a 1000 plus page hardback collection. Am reading one most nights. He certainly knew how to structure a short story -- and they are reliably imaginative.  I read lots of them in my early teens and before, and some of those have stayed with me all my life. I read so many SF short stories from about ten to through my teens. I still think they are the best medium for the genre as so much can be implied.
