Burn my sweet effigy, I'm a road runner...

Children in Need tomorrow, Eve was her usual effusive self...

"Mum, for Children in Need *I NEED*...

One official Children in Need T Shirt ( if you fail in getting this then a spotty top will do)

Two lapel badges.

A wrist band.

A pair of Pudsey ears.

Homemade cakes to sell in school on the day.

A donation.

AND Money to buy cakes on the day...."

*RIGHTO THEN*

Only a couple of days to go before our Book Award Event. I'm on technical detail on the night and table planning. It's proving tricky! Expecting 250 guests, authors and publishers and VIP's in a huge hall...massive screen and an Oscar style event.

Stress is the word. This time next week it will all be over.

I have been a bit gutted about missing blips so am going to try to take a snap every day. As I walked into work I spotted a big smoky fire on the horizon. BLIP. I hope everyone was ok.

"If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry."

Emily Dickinson

That's why we do it.
