I am delighted to be one of three blogs kicking off Katharine Johnson’s The Silence blog tour! 🙂

Many thanks to Emma Mitchell for the opportunity to take part and to Katharine Johnson for providing her guest post.

A Day In The Life…..

…..of your main character!

My main character is Abby. She appears in the novel as a child and an adult. If it’s ok I’ll let her speak:

My typical day involves getting my two little girls ready for school – they’re in reception and Year One – and dropping them at the before-school club at 8 a.m. before going into the surgery where I work as a GP. The surgery opens at 8.30 a.m. and it’s pretty full-on. The morning goes really quickly as there are so many patients to see. It’s hard making sure everyone gets the time and attention they need. I also have to fit in a couple of visits to patients who can’t make it into the surgery.

Lunch is usually a sandwich at my desk and a chance to catch up on admin, such as writing referral letters, checking on test results and checking emails. In the afternoon, I see more patients and usually stay late to catch up on paperwork.

I pick up the girls from their after-school clubs or the childminder. Their bath and bedtime is very precious to me. James usually gets in late after a day in London and we catch up on each other’s day over a glass of wine.

Although I only work three days a week I need my days off to keep up with the rest of the paperwork.

Obviously, things have changed lately. I have to squeeze in visits to my hypnotherapist on those days off. I also scour the internet for any news about the villa…..
