Wow what a fantastic list of writing exercises to do. Thank you, Della.

Thanks everyone for popping by. Hmmm, one of these days I’ll be settled Sue. Our house sale fell through at the eleventh hour (again) so for now I’m in temporary accommodation. Still, at least I have a roof over my head and a PC 🙂
Have a great 2014, Della and I hope you manage to sell your house soon.
