Weeks holiday : )

I’ve had a wonderful weeks holiday. Only been around the house and pottering about. Had lots of time to spend with Bobby. And lots of time to write.

Bobby is coming along in leaps and bounds, he’s had first blood. But, I’m actually really getting him used to me. He’s no longer scared. He’s eating well and I’m so happy for him. First vet visit on wed for him. Want to check out how his wings are and his feather condition. πŸ™‚

 

Here’s a pic for you….

I had booked extra time with EJ, which was very beneficial. I learned loads this week. And I’ve finalised my first two chapters. In regards to their pacing and style. Maybe some people still won’t like it, or think there is too much stuff to come before it. But I’m happy with it. I think it’s ‘near’ there. πŸ™‚ You can never say perfect. As writers we’re always tweaking something or another. lol

The weather has been pretty hit and miss, it’s left the garden growing well. Because of the rain and the sunshine. And it’s left my main pond green and warm πŸ™‚

My fish are even thinking of spawning today. So it just shows how much its changed in a week. πŸ™‚

I am very happy to say there are no problems with them, where as there was for the most part of last year. No changes and fingers crossed that it’s a nice summer.

Last day off on my hols tomorrow, and I’m glad I’ve had the rest. I’m not overly looking forward to re-joining the rat race. But I’ll be happy to get back into things.

Mum flies to spain with Frank on Friday for a week, so we’re looking after their cat for a week, he’ll just want some food and cuddles in the evening. He’s a cute cat, so I don’t mind. I’ll just have to slot him in where the rest of my pets don’t demand attention.

So, onwards to tomorrow and hopefully I’ll speak to you soon.

Monday :)

So the weekend was mostly spent in bed.Β Recuperating. Although I am still feeling a little full of cold. I do feel much better.

 

Wish I could take some time off work to really re-charge. But seems that they’re so snowed under they can’t. And they’ve still not advertised for the new position promised. That would help out their work/holiday load for sure. You can’t have 14 people working for you and only one person available to cover. The sums just don’t add up. When we all get 3 weeks holiday. And no one really wants to take them in the dead of winter now do they so out of the 52 weeks. Most really want there hols in the summer…

 

Oh well.

 

In other news. Treated the Koi again yesterday. Was a bit hairy towards the end. They started to sulk around the surface so I neutralized it this time and changed some water.

 

Couple of lunkers. The chemical reaction from the HP is quite strong. And they don’t like this as much as being treated with the PP.

 

Poor fish.

 

Will have to leave them for a week or so and see how they’re doing.

 

Writing wise. Finally got back into it yesterday. It is good to take some time off but hard to get back into the zone.

 

I am raring to get going some more though. Easter hols soon. This year it comes early at the end of the month. So looking forward to it. I’m physically and mentally exhausted. 😦 and I know that is why I get sick easily. Plus the ED never helped lower immune system.

 

Fingers crossed that this month starts to pick up. Mortgage adviser should get back to us with some info. And I’m hopeful for our future.

 

Fingers crossed for me everyone.

Wow!!!!

So, I never thought I’d get so far with the ‘likes’ on facebook.

But, I wizzed by 100 today.

So, I am offering another prize for 200.

You’ll get a choice of three items. But I won’t let you know, till the winner of 100 get’s back to me. πŸ™‚

Hit me up and you never know what you might win…

Share my page and you’ll get even more thanks from me.

It made me giggle and laugh today, happy isn’t just the word for it. lol

D

Busy, Busy :)

Sorry I haven’t had much chance to post this week. But I’ve been rushed off my feet.

 

Lots of good news for you all to read. Β πŸ™‚ I’ve just been so happy and thrilled with this week, it has been a blast. I don’t want it to end. lol

 

Monday was a fantastic day for me. I got my first ‘payment’ through for our web series ‘Best Friends’ I know it sounds crazy. Being the writer was much more exciting for me, but getting paid for it just cemented that my writing was worth something.

 

Of course I decided what I wanted to do with the cash. And so I’ve set up and am going to start working with an editor/mentor to help bring my writing to a whole new level. Β I’ll keep you posted on that and chat about my progress and what is like, after the first session… Β can’t wait for it.

 

I love the OWWSFF and all the people I meet there and I will continue to post and read others work, but I hope that working a little harder on my own style will make the reading easier on everyone.

Then of course when I am satisfied I aim to take it further.

 

Tues was just as interesting a day for me. I had a really nice surprise visitor come around for when I got home. We had a good old chin wag, (I never got my coffee though) but it kind of put me behind with other things and I didn’t get much chance to edit etc.

 

I was also asked to take part in a radio show (U.S based) to talk about my upcoming projects. And more than likely for everyone to laugh at my daffy UK accent.

 

I’ll keep you posted on all fronts though for sure. πŸ™‚

 

And well today has just been a good one too. I am really positive about this year. Things are all settling into place and I just love it all at the moment.

 

I’m just off out with the other half for a celebratory ‘dinner’ ….

 

Catch you all later and enjoy your evening.
