Thank you, Tanya.
Yes I read The Cure for Sleep the very day Carol recommended it.
Your work allowed me to give myself permission to write in this way so thank you so much.
Crochet and knitting seem to be an integral part of my creative process, my mindfulness.
I would be lost without it !
Honoured to be part of the project

I'm sorry if you'd already sent me a message about reading the book, and in the shock of Mum's diagnosis I got muddled up! Until I had Covid last January, I had a near-photographic memory for names, conversations, messages - since then I'm finding gaps appearing: I feel like I've lost an important dimension - a sort of certainty...
I do hope Carol will join us by writing for the project soon! Perhaps there's even potential for you both to do something new for the project by submitting a joint piece for the Friends theme!
Absolutely no need to apologise Tanya. The fact that you manage to respond to us all is I think quite remarkable and admirable. I once tried keeping a blog and I can tell you it didnтАЩt last very long because it is a huge commitment and chronic illness for me requires making hard decisions about where to direct precious energy.
As to memory ... it never ceases to amaze me that I forget recently learned names and facts yet can remember all the lyrics to the album Hunky Dory at the slightest prompt!
Sorry to hear you have had bad news about your mums health.
Carol and I no longer live in the same town as I have recently moved to West Yorkshire. Sad to see I missed you at the Ilkley Literature Festival.
Thank you, Tanya.
