Me.....thats who's a clever girl!. Why, i hear you ask? well let me tell you.I have been doing some voluntary work seein as how i've No Job.For months now i have been involved with a Group Looking into the history of my own home town, Lowestoft. For weeks now, i have been working on a manuscript that was brought into the centre for me to type up. It had been written by hand back in 1966, & the person who wrote it was in his 80's then which makes the manuscript 40 years old. Last week i finished typing it up & printed off the first copy to be proof-read. I have since heard that once several photo's are acquired and added to the text, then it may well be going into print (made into a book) which means i'll have my name inside it in black & white for all to see.Now does that make me a happy girl......you BET it does! I must admit its been hard work when you consider there was over 40 hand-written pages to get through, but it made VERY interesting reading i can tell you. It was all to do with a chap who fished out of Lowestoft in the late 18th/Early 19th Century & it concerned his sea career as well as the umpteen fishing vessels he skippered( of which there were many). The person who gave me this to type up was a JP no less & it seems he was impressed with what i'd done. I have to say that this was the first time i'd done any work like this since going F/T & i have been treated with courtesy & respect by everyone involved with the place.It just makes me feel SO good to have been accepted without any prejudice at all. So THATS why i'm a very happy, very clever girl......
