Hi, What a Blast……..Suddenly I may have the incentitve to write my Story. So many have told me to write a book!
However, I’m not a writer and need that “push”…
Are you at some time in Nelson or the surrounding area sometime soon?
Kind Regards Grant

Kia ora Grant! I actually live in Tākaka, Golden Bay! So I’m often in Nelson. I have been thinking of gathering a group of people together to take the through the process of writing their memoirs as a group, if you have any friends who might want to write there’s too? Otherwise, reach out to me anytime for a chat about ways I can support you to write your memoir: charlottesquirecoms@gmail.com

Wha a lovely idea and to be a part of so many stories that could be lost in time must be fantastic. It’s a pain I don’t live in Johnsonville anymore. Now in Dunedin. But I wish you the best with this and I have subscribed to your daily inspiration.
I started doing this years ago but got lost in the detail and ideas, so put it down. It may be time to pick it up again. Thanks in advance

Hello Charlotte. It is great to be signed up to your weekly newsletter. I was to attend your Wai Word meeting but tripped over a book. What? I hear you ask, but it is possible to love books too much.
At 75 years of age and after two decades of steroids I have skin with the thickness & resilience of tissue paper. Plus I am on two blood thinners and have no resistance to infection. When I need to go to the loo I postpone the thought. Belatedly I charge from my room round stacks of books occupying almost the entire floor. I say ouch as I graze my leg on the corner of a hardback book en route to the bathroom. When I look down from my seat on the loo I see both feet sitting in a widening pool of blood. Like a forensic scene every footfall down the hall has been splattered with blood. But I can take care of this myself. Big mistake!
The medical centre nurses, drawn by the sound of laughter from my cubicle, crowd round to hear my belated tale of woe and stupidity. They clean the wound, give a tetanus injection, take blood samples and a photograph, incredulous that this injury could be the result of falling over a book.
After the second wound dressing I am advised to spend the weekend with my foot elevated. Despite forgoing your course the wound is now infected and after the third dressing and removal of dead skin the doctor and pharmacist argue over the antibiotic. For the next week I am not to sit or stand too quickly. The antibiotic will potentiate one of my heart meds to lower my blood pressure so much I might pass out. I’m very chastened by what a nuisance I’ve been, but I love to constantly read all my books, fiction & non fiction, works of literature and coffee table books alike. My aged cat needs piles of books as staircases to and from the bed. I suspect there is no cure for hopeless bibliophiliacs.

Hello Colleen 👋 lovely to hear from you! And kind of funny, but not funny, to read your comments about tripping over a book! I hope you’re ok and the health experts can agree upon the right antibiotic soon.
I hope you enjoy the newsletters I’ll soon start sending you.
Heal well and enjoy your next chapter 😉 😉
