Some updates...

Visiting my mother in hospital is still occupying a lot of my time, but I'm mostly managing to keep on top of things. I even managed some time to create a new Mr. Smoozles strip.

Progress is very slow on my mother's recovery and she's still in the intensive care unit. When we visit, she comes around for a few seconds, has a look at us and gives us a weak smile. Then she drifts back to sleep again. We'll all be a lot happier when she's fully conscious for more extended periods.

The book on writing is going pretty well and I'm finding that I'm writing more for each chapter than I expected. Some serious editing will have to take place one the first draft is completed.

I've also been working on something else, on which I hope to make an announcement in the next couple of days. Keep your eyes peeled.
