All is going okay at the moment on the 'getting son ready to go off to university'.
I've managed to grab a couple of hours writing today, and chapter four (draft 1) is almost finished.
Friday (yesterday) was a good day, as I received an email with some good news.
You may remember that last August I had a 200+ word story on the Cafe Lit website, called 'A Tight Squeeze'.
Well my story will be appearing in the Best of Cafe Lit 2013. I will be joining fellow blogging writers, Patsy Collins, and Helen Laycock, who also made the cut.
The full list is here so see if you recognise any of the other names.
Considering there was a year's worth of stories to choose from, I was pleasantly surprised that I made it into the best of list - 29 writers.
Small steps, I know, but it's a good way to begin the autumn... :)

Well done Carol - you are quite right to be chuffed. Hope the trauma of losing one son doesn't affect you too much, especially as you can be sure he'll be back. with a load of dirty washing and a gang of new friends to raid your food stocks!
It's nice to be selected, Carol. Hope this success is followed by many more for you (and for me!)
Congratulations, Carol. I'm certain there will be many more successes to follow.
Well done, Carol - and it's good to know everything is going well so far!
Well done!
Congratulations, Carol :-) x
Yes, it was a lovely surprise for me, too.
Well done, Carol and Patsy - and I'll see you both soon (inside the book cover)!
