Diary Wednesday 9th January 2019 My first visit to the university this month and for once, not for voluntary work but for a book club group meeting. We discussed our reactions to Jenny Erpenbeck’s Go Went Gone, which I’ll review in a forthcoming post on here soon. The meeting was very relaxed and friendly and everyone had interesting thoughts on the book. This is the first decent book club I have been involved in, and run well they are well worth getting involved with. Diary Thursday 10th To 11th January 2019 I found out that my first pub signs book is on good course for its April launch. I have seen the front cover art which looks great and the final drafts should be with me in the next few weeks in PDF format. I went to the job club to job search there and edited some of my photo files too. In the evening I went to the local film making group meeting but no one else turned up. I called in a couple of pubs on the way home. I fear the group may not survive much longer which will be very sad. Diary Friday 11th January 2019 A news reporter, Diane Oxberry died today. This was quite sad news as she interviewed me on my science fiction hobby a few years back and she was very nice to talk to. I spent the day online catching up on my writings and more job searching. My basic cooking skills book, by Delia Smith arrived today. Arthur Chappell
