It's me! In the newspapers!

There's an article about my letter experiment in The Independent today. Oh my. I am apparently "writer Deirdre Ruane", or just "Ruane", which is very weird.

Go read it, and then go to postwodehouse.com, which is the website I've been asking for help with this week. And for pity's sake, if you participated (or even if you didn't) and you can think of something to say, post something on the message board! It's got tumbleweeds blowing through it.

Thank you again to everyone who joined in - I've still got letters to go out to some of you! - and everyone who helped me test the site. And to rhodri, who did a great job.

I'm in the paper. Holy cow.

Half empty/half full

I was just standing by the side of the road when some guys yelled at me from a speeding car. It could have been either "Foxy!" or "Fat slag!" (Actually, considering I was in a shapeless black parka-thing with the hood up, both seem pretty unlikely.)

Sainsbury's is full of slightly panicky-looking flowers.
