Awesome weekend :)

Such a busy weekend. But a good one. 

 

Although I haven’t moved so much off the couch. I’ve been editing like crazy. I’ve read through three different chapters for crit as I owe them out. And I’ve read a script for another friend. 🙂 

 

All in all, fab amount of work. I’m please. 

 

In other news the snow has kept us from doing much outside. The ponds are cooler than I’d like. Main pond dropped to 10d even with the heating. And the baby tank dropped to 5d so no food for either of them. It was too cold to get the sanke out and sedate and see what was going on so I’m hopeful for the easter hols this next weekend. 

 

Four days to work then FOUR days off. How awesome. Shopping to get in and lots of writing. So if anyone needs me for anything then I need requests in soon. Before I’m booked up. 

 

Sunday dinner with mum later, 🙂 Can’t wait for that. Hubby is going out for the evening so it’s me and the cat for the night. A warm fire and some more work. 

 

Hope everyone is doing well. 🙂 Speak soon.

Weekend :)

Sat night… 

 

It was a wonderful night out with our friends. There were 9 of us, and the restaurant we ate at was nice. Paul was a little disappointed with his choice, but mine was nice, fish lasagne  Totally fishy and different. 🙂 

We went back to their place for a couple of drinks. (Although I was driving) and it was just very pleasant. 

 

Sun, 

 

Carried on with a little bit of editing. Seems there isn’t enough time in the day at all to get on with this at the moment. Although I am really enjoying it. 

 

We went Wrexham to pick up a trailer that we won from Ebay. It was a quick trip and pretty easy to find, although we got lost off a few roundabouts. 

We did see an accident though, some guy took a bend from a 60 zone into a 30, and spun out. I knew he was going to fast, there was no way he would make the bend at the speed he overtook us at. 

Eventful day but we stopped to have our dinner on the way back. Much better food than sat, weird huh. Think we’ll get Paul’s friend to come up this way instead next time. 🙂 

Work today was hard. Think I’m coming down with a cold or something, bones are aching. Which isn’t nice while driving around. I’m editing tonight, so this is only just a quick catch up. 

Thinking of you all though, take care.

I think finding 15 people I really enjoy engaging with has been difficult, not because there aren’t so many, because there are. I couldn’t pick or decide between everyone who has inspired me over the last few months.

Thanks to everyone who visits my blog, who spurs me on and more importantly offers support when things in life go a little pear shaped. 🙂 You are all wonderful people.
