What the world has been waiting for!

It just didn't know it.

First there was Mrs Dale's Diary; then came Bridget Jones's. Now we're delighted to announce the safe delivery of Alison Turner's.

Alison is an about-to-be-fifty-year-old divorcee. She likes neither prospect. In her diary she records her innermost thoughts about life, ex-husbands, the bimbo, and the fact that manufacturers of skin care products for the over-fifties, in the design of their labels, have not taken into consideration the fact that with increasing age comes decreasing eye-sight.

You can listen to the first chapter of Alison's diary, beginning on the eve of her fiftieth birthday, over on Jellycast NOW!

It's about 28 minutes of listening time in all, but Alison (and I) would be really pleased if some people listened to at least some of it and reported back their thoughts.

I've tried several times to download it, but something just won't work for me. Sounds like something I'd enjoy. Sigh.

Liz Hinds said...

Thanks for trying anyway, Elsie.

Son suggested that you right-click the 'download here' link on the right and save it to your computer, Elsie.

I assume you have Windows Media Player or Real or something that will play it?

If a number of people have the same problem, I'll have to query it with Jellycast.
