I'm still at home. My voice still isn't right, so I'm taking time off to rest it, to let it heal, so that I'll have it back by Thursday for the book-readings!

Talking of books, I recieved a copy of the 'coffee-table' book that I wrote about the archaeology in Northern Ireland. It looks, well ... professional! I can't believe I did it. Nor the childrens book ... I am chuffed. And I hope everyone who was concerned with the project, all those with their help, advice, editing are chuffed too, 'cos without them, these books wouldn't have been complteed or as polished and as professional looking as they are.

I have one story completed for Thursday - a prequel to the childrens book. I have an idea for a little one about the Bronze Age, about how widespread contacts were, traders tales. But whether I'll get it done in time for thursday is a different matter. I do have to get a powerpoint presentation together to go with the story and the book, and plan out my time with the groups of children so at least I have a clue as to what I'm doing...but also allow time for them to ask questions and answer some too ...

IN some ways it's a very good thing my voice has disappeared for a wander now ...
