I do two or three days work on it and then have to leave it for a week or so. I'm finding that there are certain parts that I need to revise and re-write and currently some of the order is all wrong. By the time I finish it's going to be 100,000 words.
I'm aiming to have it finished by the end of February and published by the end of March and then it will be onto my next book which will be a compendium of my blogs.
Yesterday we went to the cinema yet again . We are becoming real film buffs. This time we saw the excellent The Fabelmans which is basically the life story of film director Stephen Spielberg and his family. It charts how Spielberg got the film making bug and follows his life at school and college and is at times poignant, at times funny and at time sad. It's a film that is well worth catching if you have the chance.

Scammers never give up. I have mentioned on numerous occasions being a recent victim. Yesterday the house phone rang. Not sure just why we still have a house phone, but we do. Maybe you should just call us old fashioned.
It was someone who said his name was Alexander and he was from Solar Markets and wanted to help me withdraw my investments I had with them. That was interesting as my bank assures me that the investment I tried to make was declined. So I actually never invested with them.
So Alexander wanted me to go to my computer. This guy also sounded Spanish although he definitely wasn't Sven who originally tried to scam me. I should have put the phone down but decided to talk to this criminal and tell him that all my bank cards have been changed and that the matter is in the hands of the police and my bank.
But I wanted to try to find out a few things. His determination never wavered and in the end I got so frustrated I did put the phone down. These people have no moral scruples at all, but you wouldn't expect them to as they are just after our money, a bit like the energy companies.
Yesterday was one of those days when I always seemed to be behind the clock and fighting to get everything done. I will tell you about it tomorrow.
