The week in three words:

• Work
• Dog
• NaPoWriMo

This week I’ve been dog-sitting. Yes, that’s right: dog-sitting. Having never looked after a dog before in my life, I’ve been responsible for one for over a week. And you know what? I love it! Not saying I’d ever get one of my own, mind… But it’s been fun.

And talking of firsts, I also went for my first run in about two years! One of the benefits of taking a dog out every day.

But enough of my vague exercise…

I’ve also been working (Eden Arts) and writing. As you might have noticed, it’s April. As you may or may not know, April is NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month), where the challenge is to write a poem a day for the whole of April. Which means that, hopefully, by the end of April, I’ll have drafts of 30 poems. Here goes…

The Week in Books:

Just one book this week: Max Porter’s incredible Grief is the Thing with Feathers.
