Wednesday 27 November 2024: Rubbish technology

Monday 11 November 2024: Remembrance Day
The only thing I really worked on on Friday was The Secret of Whitehorse Farm. And even then it was only pre-writing. Everything else was on binder work in Scrivener…

With nowhere to sit yesterday morning, because most of the living room furniture was stacked in the dining room and I couldn’t get to any of the dining furniture, the…
Tuesday 29 October 2024: Writing and reading
Our internet is shocking at the moment. The entire village have been complaining, despite high-speed cables being laid beneath the roads in recent months. We’re getting all the upheaval of…
Monday 21 October 2024: Leisurely weekend
I forgot to mention in Friday’s post that on Wednesday the money I was owed by Vocal landed in my bank account. On Thursday morning, another job I did from…
Friday 18 October 2024: Home again!
I was a day behind all week on my blog posts, so when the poet finished his work on Wednesday and we decided to head home on Thursday, I didn’t…
Monday 14 October 2024: Northern Lights
We had a late night on Thursday, binge watching something on Netflix. Fortunately, it meant we were still up to watch one of the apparently best ever shows of the…
Thursday 10 October 2024: I wrote a(nother) short story!
When I got up yesterday I was convinced it was Tuesday. I still had my story to write for 12 STORIES IN 12 MONTHS. But it was fine, I still…
Wednesday 9 October 2024: It’s deadline day! 😱

Wednesday 18 September 2024: Tidying my Scrivener binders

Tuesday 27 August 2024: Working on the schedule
On Thursday night I went to bed with a good feeling: I didn’t have to get up to do any work for anyone else in the morning, only me. That…
Wednesday 14 August 2024: I wrote another short story…
It’s almost as though I do this kind of thing for a living! We were up with the larks again yesterday because my car was booked in for what we…
Tuesday 13 August 2024: Happy dentist
We went out on Sunday to get me a long grabby thing (long-handled litter-picker) so that when I’m walking around the garden, I can easily pick up windfall apples and…
Thursday 8 August 2024: Working in Ireland
After our first trip to Durham, where I didn’t really organise myself properly, I think I’ve learnt some lessons because, so far, Ireland has been working quite well. We lost…
Friday 19 July 2024: Free image Friday
Today’s free image was so cheerful and energetic, I just had to use it. I love yellow. The poet was up bright and early to head back to the midlands….
Wednesday 3 July 2024: Productive day
After a bit of a rough night, we were up relatively early to take the poet to the dentist. He was full of cold (hence the rough night) and secretly…
Thursday 20 June 2024: More writing!
After a late night on Sunday submitting the cosy mystery for the anthology, Monday started later than usual. Over breakfast, though, I dealt with emails, one of which had come…

Sunday was Father’s Day and I had up to 2 stories to write and a blog post. One of the stories, THE KNIGHT OF WANDS, had to be in by…
Wednesday 22 May 2024: Magpies are clever
I’m not used to being in the house on my own yet and during the night on Monday/Tuesday, I woke up at about 3:30am thinking I could hear noises. I…
Monday 15 April 2024: I❤️processes
The dog very graciously waited until 6:30am on Friday morning before waking us up the first time. He went straight back in his basket and slept for another hour. Then…
Friday 12 April 2024: Late up!

Thursday 11 April 2024: The week is galloping along

Wednesday 10 April 2024: New books & notebooks
I bought 2 books in the end from Amazon with my gift vouchers, earned playing games, and I still had £5.02 left. The books I bought were both writers’ guides….
Thursday 27 March 2024: My reading this week
Wednesday morning was even slower getting started than Tuesday morning, and I had a lot to do. I really couldn’t afford to fanny around. And yet, that’s what I seem…
Friday 15 March 2024: Catfish, anyone?
We have a meal plan. Not because of any diet, but originally for budgetary purposes and now for variety. Plus, it’s easier if we don’t have to decide what to…
Friday 23 February 2024: Things picking up again
It started to rain during the night on Wednesday. I remember waking up and registering it and then going straight back to sleep. Instead of lying there listening to it!…
