I am at that stage where I am busy working on learning my stories for next Thursday. I always feel frustrated at this time because I feel very awkward and certainly not fluent! I do need the audience. I think I am over my technological hiccups (I have added some music!) so fingers crossed.

Tomorrow we are off to watch my son Peter run the Stroud Half Marathon in the rain! Also have the small matter of my football team playing the local derby I am very apprehensive about this one because surely we can’t upset the odds again this week- can we? To finish off the day a group of us are going to watch Dan Everett (the other half of Two Severn Bores) play with a singer song writer Lady Nade in Stroud! A busy day!
