The weather is so wintry here. There has been a blizzard going on outside the window for at least two hours. Joseph isn't happy. He has an exam in the morning and doesn't want the bottoms of his trousers to be wet and uncomfortable in an exam ! I remember my brother having to walk about four miles to school in very deep snow to sit all his prelims in 1981 , because all the buses were off, and then walk back home afterwards. Our family never had a car.
I have been writing out some ideas for my children's story, based on the little toy dog I found in a Berlin flea market. I'm really pleased with how it's going so far.
I once had a lot of interest in a manuscript I wrote ( not a children's book though ) and was about to sign with a big publisher, when I got cold feet. The pressure felt immense and I walked away. It was, no doubt, a mistake because we've never had any money ! I'm enjoying writing my little story though. It's a happy distraction from university. This year at university has been AWFUL. I have felt desperately unhappy a lot of the time. Michael doesn't understand it. He thinks I'm in a privileged position and I know I am. But it's making me really depressed. I feel trapped there. My little flea market dog is saving me.
