Addictive Games, Literature and Child Protection

I hate computer games because they can be so damn addictive. Temple Run is the latest that has got me hooked on the ipad. So other than being chased by a clutch of rampant monkeys what else has been going on in my life over the last day or so.

Well last night I attended a Norfolk FA Child Protection workshop for the village football club. There were about 20 members of Hethersett Athletic present and it was a very well organised and important course. Went to one of these three years ago and it's interesting to see how things have changed with part of the evening being taken up with discussing social networking and cyber bullying - certainly a sign of the times.

Today I made a trip into Norwich to sort a few things out and order tickets from Waterstones for two literary events at the end of March. The first is an evening with Robert Goddard at Waterstones and the second an evening with RJ Ellory at Norwich Millennium Library. Excellent value for money. The Goddard event is just £3 per ticket and that includes a glass of wine. The Ellory is just £2 and if you buy a book you get the money taken off. I have read many of Goddard's books and all of Roger Ellorys. I have also been in regular contact with Roger via e-mail but never had the opportunity to meet him in the flesh,

This evening I have been watching the continuing story of Chelsea's demise!

I have also been doing plenty of gardening and as spring approaches (temperatures today into double figures) it's looking rather chipper and strangely tidy for the time of year.
