Incidentally the plan, such as it is, is for famous people to be involved by drawing a couple of fish for a big group scene at the end of the book. I think it would be the most exciting thing for kids to write their own book and say that, in some way, they collaborated with people they're excited and enthused by. So far that's slow progress but has the opportunity to be very cool if it speeds up by October. There are definitely some people I would love to see fish from and if anyone has any suggestions please give me a shout at apaulio (at) yahoo (dot) co (dot) uk. So far I'm a relative nobody asking busy people to do something they're probably not confident in doing so I shouldn't really be surprised that it's slow going... But there's time and two lovely people have said yes so far so we'll see if it builds up steam.

In other news have had the most grotty day with autistic outbursts throughout. Son boy's least good time is the Summer holidays and weekend one has been a trial although to be fair it's also been well outside of his routine. We'll see if it picks up, I hope it does otherwise this is going to be a very long six weeks indeed....
