Time 1245. Place: Cafe on Gympie Terrace.
No time for writing today. I’ve probably got 4 minutes while Mum is in the bathroom. At least I got lunch today. That’s the good thing about taking Mum to lunch on Fridays I always have a nice lunch. Today I had bircher muesli topped with fruit salad. I think they must have used our old trick putting a teaspoon of sugar in a cup of lemon juice and pouring some of it over the salad. It brings out the flavour in everything. I could go to heaven and back just thinking about the muesli, yoghurt and fruit I’ve just eaten.The waiter is nice too. I don’t think we fit their mould of expensive eaters and drinkers but they haven’t treated us badly for it either. I like the way the waiters nose is large at the tip and turned up – unusual but it gives him a real sense of character. This afternoon I think I’ll get Mum to read my manuscript out loud to me and I can follow on the computer. You pick up so much more when it is read out loud. This will definitely be the final edit and after completing 5 already, there shouldn’t be too many changes.
Oh here she comes.

Reflections and Nightmares- Irene A Waters (writer and memoirist) 
Love it, Irene. And I agree entirely about the vocalising: over the past six months or so I haven’t picked up a book, because I’m listening to them all on my teeny Sandisk .mp3 player.

That’s a great idea. I could read while I washed up and vacuumed. The only time we’ve really listened to talking books has been in the car whilst travelling. That works really well to make the miles fly. Thanks M.R.
