Luck be a lady
Well, it's Melbourne Cup day today. Which is a public holiday in Melbourne and yippee! Cup Day tends to come in two flavours, given its timing in late Spring. Stinking hot or chilly and wet. Today, because I am going to a bbq, it is so far chilly not yet wet. Maybe it...
Time, time, time
Daylight savings started today. Anyone who knows me will know I don't handle the start of daylight savings well. My body knows darn well the clocks are lying and that I am hauling its butt out of bed at an hour that truly starts with 'six'. And it isn't happy with...
Deja vu
> Poor orange cat says "I hate my butt". Grey cat says "Yay, it's not me". She can be funny that way. Mel says "I need a nap".
Busy, busy
It's been one of those weeks. Busy at work. Trying to do the exercise thing (someone needs to invent the 1 minute total workout lol). Out Thursday night (and not sleeping so well cos of weird 36 degree day in October!!), out last night, two things on to today and...
Cooking

Holy crap, I finished. A month ahead of my schedule. 374 pages. 94k. That's a LOT! : ))) Excuse me, I have snoopy dancing, shopping and possibly some drinking to do. This is the time when writing is NOT hard!! It's just great.
Almost there
The end is coming into focus. I have sore fingers. More later. PS Books are LONG.
Breathing space
So the book has continued to talk, there has also been birthday parties (I'm old!), birthday lunches, mid-week dinners with friends, work and general everything taking longer because of the sore thumb. Which is much better now and down to only a bandaid. There has...
Owie
Okay so all that stuff about doing dumb things with knives your mother told you? You should listen. As the splint on my thumb to keep the gash in that thumb from reopening if my thumb bends will testify. Older but no wiser that's me. Luckily it is my non space bar...
Time flies
It's Sunday night again. How did that happen? Oh yeah, two parties, a crit session, some housework and forty five pages or so of story. I am knackered, my hands are starting to protest the lots of typing thing and I still didn't get half the stuff I wanted to do this...
