Help, Help, Help

Of course the triffids did take over and I left them to their own devices to shrink the size of the garden and to give it that wondrous jungle feeling! Did I spend that time progressing towards the publishing target? What do you think - of course not! However, I did get to go to the Manchester Science Museum. I can hear you all switching off straight away, all those spinning jennys and steam engines - well, the real reason i went was to see the Body World exhibition.

This is the show by Gunther von Hagen where all the plastinated bodies and bits of bodies are displayed. It was certainly some show and it really has to be seen to be appreciated. The fine detail of the body is incredible. And of course it all adds to the mental pictures when creating horror stories!!

Probably worth an hour or so for a tenner (£11.50 at weekends). See details at http://www.msim.org.uk/whats-on/body-worlds-4

So not much writing got done (zero) and I actually feel guilty. Must stop that now and just get down to it. Your helpful words of encouragement appreciated of course.
