Well, it's mostly my own fault. I haven't been out much today because I've been working on my book, and then when I decided it was time for a break I discovered it was raining. This is because when I write I tend to close the curtains so I won't get distracted (given that I seem to have the attention span of a goldfish).

The book I'm working on at the moment is the third and it's about plants. The first draft is completed, and now I'm working through it again. It's amazing how much rubbish needs pruning (I don't like reading a lot of padding in other people's books, and I try to avoid it in my own.)

At the moment the book is 120,000 words. That's a big book, believe me.

The trouble is I have other things on the go, too. Like working on my talk for Witchfest Wales, and also getting research done for my next book. It's not that I'm complaining, I love doing the work, but I suppose I'm trying to explain why I haven't been around on the blog quite so often lately.

Hope you're all looking forward to the weekend - I know I am!

Several times on this blog I've come across discussions about the validity of anything outside of science. Examples could be Herbal medicine, religious beliefs, etc. I came across this little gem this morning that might just sum it all up:

The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work?"

The graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work?"

The graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?"

The graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"
