Hello playmates. Well, doesn't time roll by? Soon be Christmas.
I've just finished a book that I've wanted to write for years. It's a stand alone novel about an Inspector of police working out of New Scotland Yard in 1912. He is surrounded by murder and crime and all sorts of strange happenings. I've called it THE CLOCKWORK MOUSE MYSTERY. The queen is currently reading the manuscript, then - subject to correcting all the mistakes she'll find - I'll send it down to the publishers. It would be for delivery in 2014. I'm ever so excited about it.
Last month I said I 'd tell you how my weight was doing. You remember that for three months I had stayed the same, and I was quite dispirited. It was because I was pinching fruit (pieces of fresh pineapple, strawberries and raspberries) as I was cooking, thinking that it wouldn't make any difference. But fruit contains an enormous amount of sugar, and as we know, even natural sugar in excess is a no no.
Sexy Linda from Change4Life directed me to stop pinching the fruit and, instead, suggested that I had an exra slice of wholemeal brown bread to get rid of any possible pangs of hunger. Well, friends, I did that and, as a result, I lost 3 lbs in September, 1 1/2 lbs in October, and 1/2 lb only in November. Which isn't brilliant, but is progress in the right direction. I now don't need to have a operation, which pleases me no end.
THE BIG FIDDLE is out in Hardback now and will,be available as an eBook from 29th November. Make a good Christmas read.
Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, enjoy yourself. You're only young once. And enjoy your reading.
