1. An unexpected phone call from a dear friend (Thanks Duck!)
2. Some of you may remember that I sponsor a little girl - J - in an orphanage in Central African Republic throuhg SOS Children's Villages. Two years ago when the sponsorship started, I was sent a photo of her - a wide-eyed, rather nervous looking little 7 year old. I just received this year's photo of a much taller, healthy, smiling 9 year old, proudly wearing her new pink flowered dress - lovely to see how she's grown and that smile . . .
3. As I've mentioned, we have builders here with work on the extension going on in the garden - after days of gouging out earth plus a great big hole in the ground ready for foundations there is now one huge skip filled to the brim with unearthed soil – all soft and crumbly - just perfect for one Charlie Cat, to scrape a nice neat hole - well, making his own contribution to things,
Then jumping down with a ‘Man that’s SOME litter tray!’ look on his face!
Happy weekend everyone!

Glad the extension is coming along, Kate. No fun living with building work in the middle of winter, but at least Charlie is enjoying it!
It's extremely wet here, has been for days & days. I'm thinking an ark might be the way to go.
A hot chocolate while listening to the wild weather outside made me smile. One of life's little pleasures.
It's raining on the other side of the world here in Australia.
Hi Kate,
'Things that make us smile!'
I'm that other Kate Walker from Australia who causes you a little bother every now and them, when students send emails about children's stories. To increase the confusion further, I've started publishing ebooks as well (and some adult works) on Smashwords and the other ebook sites that Smashwords farms out to. The big epublishers, like Amazon, clump all our books in together, and what strange bed-fellows we make. At least it's reasonably easy to tell our books apart. Perhaps we should look on the bright side. People who wouldn't normally look for your books in my genres will spot them, and vice-versa. We may just have doubled our exposure. There's not much we can do about it anyway. It's too late for either of us to change our names.
Best wishes, and happy writing, Kate
