The focus on contemporary fiction is continuing. I have read the new Sherlock Holmes novel by Anthony Horowitz. He has managed to capture the narrative style of the originals, with a slightly more up-to-date twist. Quite impressed. I’m off to my Creative Writing course soon, with this week’s scribblings duly prepared. We are doing an exercise in medias res, which I had to look up to be clear what it meant. The news from my parents is that there is a slight improvement in my father’s condition. The medication is being reduced, carefully. We shall see. I don’t think I’m going to have to go down especially, but am just keeping an eye on what is going on. The length of the days is improving, and with it my mood. I’m hoping to fit in a day next week out hill walking, as this week it hasn’t worked out.
