A clanking sound woke her up; heart thudding she glanced at the alarm panel - the blinking lights stared calmly into the heavy darkness. The door creaked, there was a scuffling on the carpet and a heavy presence leapt onto her body... "Jeez Ralph, you nearly scared the knickers off me!" she screeched at her cat. (True story!!!)

I go and grovel in the garden a bit. Or I get stuck into doing something creative like mosaic or fabric painting or up-cycling stuff. Of course sometimes, if it's a blog that has to be written for my weekly column - you just suck it up and put on your big girl panties! There's no time for blocks.
