I’m not sure if I’ve slipped through a time break or simply been asleep too long but the end of July seems to have crept up on me fast. I have my entry for the BCS short story competition which is due in today and the story is still far away from where I would like it to be. I am also off to see the specialist this afternoon to get my tonsils looked at, hopefully once and for all, and that seems to have loomed up quickly and means that I have only an hour or two to prepare my entry for the competition.
