Library events and a meeting with The Doctor

August 26, 2008

I’m having a week of library events starting on Saturday August 30 at 11am when I’ve been asked to ‘relaunch’ Burntwood library in Staffordshire. The library is 21 years old this month – and so is my daughter in two weeks time.

I’ve got to make a short speech and cut a special celebratory cake. I’ve never been asked to do a civic duty before but I am honoured! And it’s an excuse to have my hair done and wear a frock on a Saturday morning.

Then I’m doing two events with LBD author, Nell Dixon. We’ll be chatting about our work and giving writing tips.

Wombourne Library 3/9/08 – 7.15 pm

Burntwood Library 11/9/08 – 2pm (TBC)

We’d love to see you if you can make it to any of these events.

Finally, the bank holiday weekend wasn’t all work. Look who I bumped into at the health club. 🙂

   must be, I can see it fine at home. How can you not get excited, even it is “only” a pic of Mr Tennant himself *sigh*
