Yesterday was my birthday. I am one year younger than Sgt
Peppers! It was an extraordinary day which started with waking up to two
unexpected emails. The first was from a publishing company wanting to have a
look at Beyond the Lies and another from a production company advising they
would like to take a look at Streetwise. Both on the same day! On my birthday!
If I’m honest I had to check they were legit! They are.
At 11am I had a Master’s presentation that went really
well.
When I returned home I was lavished with love and gifts
from the boys. What makes this year so special is they have done it all
themselves. I have never felt so loved and appreciated. I am so, so blessed.
Only Trump tainted the day with his ridiculous,
narcissistic withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement – there is always one!
We have one week to go to the General Election in the UK.
To say I am proud of the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn would be the under-statement
of the year! As much as I wanted to be on the doorstep, the drop attack has
scared me so I’ve been frantically doing all I can to promote and sell the
policies in other ways. Sometimes you have no choice but to listen to your
body. I have a CT scan this next week. Hopefully it will give us an idea of
what is going on in my head – and that is a very scary thought!
I’ve even had to cancel our weekend to Liverpool for the
Sgt Pepper’s 50th anniversary celebrations. I am truly gutted and frustrated!
Today
I listened to Labour’s industrial strategy covering small businesses, climate
change, sustainability and research and development. It is very exciting,
transformative, innovative and inspirational. We finally have a party who will consult
with a wide range of people and LISTEN. I make no apologies for backing a party
that gives mine and everyone’s children a brighter future. Isn’t what we all
want?
The manifesto is well worth a read and can be found here - Manifesto.
Please judge for yourself.
Getting
interest from a publisher and production company has reinvigorated my desire to
continue to write. Now I am cracking on with the Nanny and my Master’s
dissertation. I do have a 500 words essay to write on why I want to teach
Computer Science for my interview next Thursday. I may have Meniere’s but it
will NOT stop me from living a full life.
Well,
that is me for now. We were going to have barbecue but the British weather has
temporarily halted this until tomorrow afternoon. Have a fabulous, safe and happy
weekend.
Much love
