You'll be pleased to hear that my non-fiction piece, "Ten Things I know about Life, in no Particular Order", has just been published online by BBC Southern Counties radio, and you can find it here:

I'm not sure when they're going to broadcast it yet - still no news on that front, but I did get paid for it yesterday, which was a thrill! Not often that happens for something that isn't a poem!

Anne, that was wonderful, and soooo true. Nothing like a really good laugh to restore a sense of proportion: even after England are penaltied out of the World Cup.

Glad it cheered you up, Emma!

Well done Anne! That made me smile all the way through. I know what you mean about the shop assistants .... Can I borrow your corset?

Nah, you don't need it, Merry! It's mine, it's mine!!

Sorry, Anne, I meant to say before but was too busy chuckling: congratulations for getting this broadcast and online, that's a terrific achievement.
And thanks for the mention on your blog too.
