    @Tori_Scope thank you for the suggestion. I had to read a book for an A level a few years ago and I actually ended up getting that in audiobook format so yes that does help, I should give it a try again! Thanks.

    Watched a couple of Eckhart Tolle videos today, excellent and very helpful.

    Today I must nurse my leg . I’ve woken up today with what feels like a tight band around my calf muscle and I’m finding walking a bit painful and difficult. I’ve had a swollen calf for thirty years but usually it doesn’t hurt.

    @66Mustang @Cress I have poor sight being blind in the right eye from birth.  I listen to the radio a lot and enjoy the serialised stories and books often broadcast on BBC Radio 4.  One od side effect of this is that you form a mental picture of the people and places.  When Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy was broadcast I had mental pictures of the characters.  Then they decided to make a TV version.  It was nothing like I had imagined..  For me it was a disappointment because nothing looked right.  Audio books are great too.

    @leeCal Have you listened to any podcasts of his?  I've listened to ones where he speaks to Oprah Winfrey and Russell Brand.  That man has so much wisdom! Make sure to rest your leg today and I hope it's better soon.

    @globster Good luck with writing your drama.

    @leeCal If you win you will be too busy planning what to do with all the money and forget about us

    Cheesecake made and it looks delicious, also barbecue chicken with dirty fries and onion rings.

    All a bit of a waste though as my boyfriend now has hurt his back so not coming for the weekend, we also had tickets for the F1 Silverstone experience tomorrow so they will also be going to waste

    Looks like a weekend of catching up on tv for me now !!!
