Monday morning dawned bright and early with yet more sunshine.
Once I’d had my first dirty cup of tea of the day, I started to catch up on my exercises, which I’d neglected since before having my operation. In all, I managed 40 minutes. I did some housework, some chair exercises and some floor exercises.
The poet had 2 Teams meetings before heading off to one of the factories. I started my work day by writing up and posting yesterday’s blog post, moving jobs along on the schedule, and starting today’s blog post.
Then I decided to back that Kickstarter, and this time I went for one of the special workshops: 50 murder mystery prompts over 3 weeks. I talked it over with the poet at the weekend (while we were having the car washed!) and came to the conclusion that I’d regret it more if I didn’t do it than if I did do it.
They’ve added an extra stretch reward too, a classic Kickstarter workshop on writing mystery stories if they hit 120 backers by Tuesday night. This kind of clinched the deal for me as it’s a workshop I’m really interested in anyway. The extra stretch reward means that $20-backers will also get this workshop (if the stretch goal is met), which is worth an extra $180 on top of everything else they get for their pledge.
I watched the day’s videos for the writing with depth workshop, then tackled the assignment. But the assignment and associated work took me to the end of the day.
I kept getting distracted by the garden birds, because they’ve started to bring their babies into the garden now and they’re comical to watch. The starling chicks in particular are funny, because they stand on the food and demand all the other adult birds feed them! Even though they’re standing on the food!
Lovely to watch, and wonderful to have so many. I’ve seen blackbird chicks, dunnock chicks and the starling chicks so far. The big birds, the jackdaws and the magpies, are coming in one at a time and flying off with their beaks filled with food. So their other halves must be sitting on eggs. The other really funny thing the starling chicks are doing is practising having baths! They keep emptying both baths too, so I have to keep going out and feeding them.
Far too distracting!
The birds sound like so much fun!
Good for you, on the mystery course. Sounds like good fun and you’ll get a lot out of it.
I do enjoy learning, but I never had the time before to fit it all in. Now I’m building my days around it.
The birds are far too distracting!
