This computer is on its last legs, and has developed a habit of bleeping at me from a dark, blank screen and not letting me go any further - tricky that when you've got two deadlines (can you hear me screaming?).
New computer arrives on Monday - I hope - so normal service will resume next week. So while I'm not able to blog or read your blogs for a few days, I will be back soon.
Meanwhile, I'm frantically trying to finish a piece on a nearby animal rescue centre before the pc crashes again.... I was in tears most of yesterday transcribing the tape and now writing it, the floodgates are opening yet again.
I will leave you with a joke which has enlightened my week.
A 3-year-old boy examined his testicles while taking a bath.
'Mom', he asked, 'Are these my brains?'
'Not yet,' she replied.
Have a good weekend!
PS Computer not arrived yet - am hanging on by fingernails and hoping this will see me through the last deadline!

Reviews
"Sue’s clear yet engaging writing style, the evocative descriptions and photographs mean Discover Cornwall will appeal not only to walkers but to readers as well. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, not only because it make me want to rush out and try some new walks, but because I realised it would make the perfect gift for the many people I know who enjoy walking in Cornwall."

About Me
- Flowerpot
- I am a novelist, freelance researcher and journalist with a Diploma with Distinction for Freelance and Feature Writing from the London School of Journalism. I have been a regular contributor to Cornwall Today (Regional Magazine of the Year, 2009) since 2008 writing regular walks, features, antique pieces, health, business and humour. I have interviewed Bill Bryson, Ian Rankin, John O'Farrell, Patrick Gale, Lionel Shriver and Rosamunde Pitcher for Writers' Forum and Cornwall Today. My work has also appeared in Classic Boat, Classic Sailor, Woman's Weekly and Nursing Standard. Discover Cornwall, my first book of Cornish walks was published by Sigma in June 2012, Walks in the Footsteps of Cornish Writers in 2014, Walks in the Footsteps of Poldark in 2015, Walks in the Footsteps of Daphne du Maurier in 2018 and Walks in the Footsteps of Rosamunde Pilcher in 2019. I am also a seaside landlady, and live in Cornwall with my Romanian rescue Lainy. My partner lives on the Lizard so I am fortunate in having two beautiful places to explore. I keep sane by singing, writing, walking and seeing my wonderful mates.

RIP old computer! Like the joke - very witty! Have a good weekend.
Excellent joke. Hope the new computer will be just what you wanted. Could do with a new tower myself.

Thanks MOB - and you!
Crystal - I just want a computer that works! I need new toner as well - everything's clapped out at once!
Liked the joke!!
At first when I read that I thought atht you were crying because of your deadlines versus your ancient computer... and then I realised.....
LOVE the joke, hahaha!
Aww, it's gonna be a saddy, isn't it? I'll remember my tissues when you put the post up.
Love the joke! Have a great weekend. x
Sally - yes it wasnt very clear was it?!!
roserio - it made me laugh all week!
elaine - it's made me weep over the last few days - the people at this centre do such an amazing job. Gulp - here I go again! (AMazed that computer is letting me commmunicate!)
I do hope you managed to get done what had to be done before your 'puter gave up the ghost. You must be looking forward to Monday!
Loved the joke!
Talking of old computers. I had a comment all written and then fell off line. I hope your computer has hung in long enough to finish your article on animal shelters.
Woof x
Ak - well typically now I've threatened it witha replacement, it's working OK. but I'll be relieved to get the new one!
Thanks Grump - yes it's Sunday morning and I'm putting teh finishing touches to teh animal centre piece. Nothing like a threat to make a computer work again!
That saying is true of all men ;-)
I hope you have chosen an Apple Mac as you are a writer, you will never look back and will have so much fun.
ellee - no I am a pc person - we tend to be divided don't we?! I dont care what it is as long as it works!!
Great joke FP. I hope your computer arrives on time & that you're able to finish your articles.
RT - thanks. At the moment it's working (shhh) but I'm hoping the new one will arrive today.
HAHAHAHA! That's a good one. Hope the computer arrived on time.
wordtryst - well it was better late than never!
