Sorry
I am really in a different world at times. I should qualify that statement. When his eyes are yellow as well as his skin, that is when there is a problem. I was so relieved.

Hi all and thanks I am sorry I have not been present on blogit

except for some infrequent soujourns here. Yes Nir is ok and I am told it is too much vitamin B that gives his skin a yellowish tint. His eyes are not yellow so that is ok apparently. It is when there is yellow in the eyes as well.

I just have to make his life peaceful and stable. He needs it and I need it. Thank you Mal for the congratulations. I have just reviewed and revised a story for the Lord Mayor's Awards but again I have looked at it and realised there are some things that need fixing in it so I am revising it and putting it in the Age Short Story along with another story called Two Roads. I am also going to work on a story called Thief and if it is ready by November it will go with Two Roads and A Garment Unravelled into the Age Short Story Competition. I want to make up my portfolio of stories and so far I have

Two Roads

A Garment Unravelled

The Sister's Dog

Thief

An Error of Innocence

Drawing Lots

A Race Lost

The Collectors

I want to get about a dozen stories and rework them and rework them until they are polished enough to publish. I have also been working on some poems. The poem Black Holes is about that 'Black Holes' in space and was inspired by a visit to the Science works Museum in Spotswood Melbourne. I love the place and want to take my son there in the school holidays again!
