A wonderful book. Have finally worked out prologue for my book - reading, taking notes from Alan Frost's James Mario Matra. Sat night watching TV. Exploded when neighbours from next door came knocking at the door just before The Bill started asking me to ring a cab. Only kids so quickly got myself under control and sent them away. They were sent round by their mother. I really like these people and have had some good times with them, but I've lost count of the times I've asked them not to come round after 6 at night and interrupt me when I'm watching TV.Realised I'd lost my key temporarily. Watched The Bill. Took some more notes from Matra and other stuff I've got on the Endeavour voyage - Cook's Journals, i-net extracts from Banks and Parkinson Journals. To bed. Sunday:More reading and note-taking from Matra. Dipped into Abraham Eraly's The Mughal World. Was very surprised when courier arrived with The Twilight of British Rule in Revolutionary America: The New York Letter Book of General James Robertson, 1780-1783. Panic because I couldn't find the key. Had to go out back door to sign for book.Back inside a desperate clean up of tables, etc. Found key. Took more notes from Endeavour stuff, began writing the Prologue to my book, which will be no more than 1,500 words if possible. Watched Sunday night TV - Rome and the Germanic Tribes, Joyeux Noel. Then more work on writing the prologue. Have done first 2 paras and second last para. Did last para months ago (was 1st. para of earlier version. This time I think I've got it - connecting up 18c England, the First Fleet and the American Revolution all thru the character of James Matra. We'll see. Only got the middle bit of the prologue to write now. Monday morning: 10 yr old girl from next door came round wanting to use the computer. She seemed a little upset. Seems the kid has been coming round here to use social network on computer when not wanted at home, and now I'm busy on itshe's got nowhere to go.Tried to explain the process of writing to her, ands she wanted to know why I wanted to write books.(That's the sort of question a disgusted father would ask when he found out you were'nt interested in football.) I told her she could watch me at the computer, but she waent home. A bit of a sad situation, really. But I remain firm in my reaolve I can't have them bothering me while I'm writing.

Poor ol' Santa is doing his best and has more reason to count off the days to Christmas than the kids. Last week in the supermarket a little girl thought I looked a lot like him. I was a bit surprised and missed the opportunity to say a "ho, ho, ho". Fortunately my dear wife filled in for me. We spent Sunday at a market selling off junk from the garage. It went O.K. despite the sullen teenagers embarrassment at this old peoples constuct. (The little ratbag, gloat as I must, spun us out recently at award night by picking up dux for his year at high school.) Anyhow, now flushed with cash from the junk bonus, I now have enough money to buy 2 new tyres for "la car" and have come a little bit closer to the day when I will be able to park the little sweetheart in the shed that is supposed to be her home. God willing. Brilliant piccies jo. Poor ol’ Santa is doing his best and has more reason to count off the days to Christmas than the kids.
