This is the first time I’ve created a blog post via my mobile phone. Never thought about it before. Very liberating!

Last Monday or Tuesday I spoke about escaping to my caravan to write ‘that’ book, (within 7 days).  I could only afford to stay in her for two nights, but fortunately I managed to get a lot of writing done.

I downgraded from there, packed my pushbike up and found a delightful campsite just an hour away. A fiver a nite, w.c, no showers but plenty of fresh water. I bought a decent sunlounger mattress from the tip for £1.50, a sun shade canopy from Aldi for £7.99 and with what I have already, camping is rather fun really.

The book is being sorted, researched and compiled between Costa’s in Romsey and a McDonalds in a motorway service station. Good coffee, loos and wifi in Costa’s. Cheap tea, 24 hr wifi and showers at the service station.

I keep getting new ideas for the title of my book. It started with “Stop Swearing-Start Earning” and has transformed through many stages, to at the moment “Doing the Right Thing”, which seems pretty appropriate, because if I don’t do the right thing,  this book will not get done! Cheers for now, Simon.

Along with lottery scratchcards and the plastic rings you get holding drink cans together I am adding a new product to start picking up on my litter picking duties-smiley face car fresheners.
