Hello

It's been a difficult year. I'm still in the relapse that started in autumn '06. Two years next month. Had a bad fall about three months ago and injured myself in several places. Still hurts, but it's all getting better slowly - apart from the bruised tailbone.

Last October my hands and arms stopped working as typing tools, so I had to buy and train voice recognition software. I got that working okay in May this year and started first-drafting the novel I had in my head all through the precious winter. That's done now, and I'm taking a month off before starting the second draft.

Meanwhile, I've been unable to use my camera. Simply couldn't hold the thing. I managed to use it this week for the first time in I don't know how long, but only for five minutes before it got shaky and dangerous. Don't want to drop my precious baby.

How are you all. I've missed you.
