w02: 6th-12th January

Woke too early Monday from a bad dream about shopping crowds. Morning pages and fiction pages went fine, bus and work went well, errands in the city were successful but scattered my brain, and then when I was nearly home and buying milk a woman looked at my boots and

w1: 30 December - 5 January 2020

The Girl in the Plain Brown Wrapper (Travis McGee #10) (library) Monday morning at work it was finally dry and still enough to get some glyphosate on the weeds on the path, and I'm promised that once they've died I shall be allowed to use the

w51: 16-22 December

Toward the Midnight Sun (Kindle unlimited) A chatty Monday morning at work - waiting around for a doctor's appointment rather than getting anything done at the house. I was looking forward to using the new leaf blower but the conversation was nice. I wish I could type up

w50: 9-15 December

Priscilla went Very Fast on Monday morning's walk because the pavements are wet & it's just above freezing. It's also pretty windy & two advertising boards blew over as we crossed the river bridge, startling us both. We had a cuddle of reassurance which

When I Say I've Been Busy Lately

One of the big winter seed and plant catalogues arrived today while I was out. I'm probably going to order some amaranth and some seed potatoes for the allotment. There's a red flower they've just called 'linum' so I need to look

w48: 25 November to 1 December

w45: 4-10 November

A Land (charity shop paperback), Laocoon's Children Year One: The Philosopher's Stone (Stealing Harryverse, #2) (ao3, read on Kindle), Mary Barton (Gutenberg, read on Kindle), Mrs. Ames (Gutenberg, read on Kindle) Monday phoned in sick with the intention of spending the day on my sofa with

Writing: 'why doesn't she just'

When I'm talking about films or books with The Big Spoon, his great gift is asking questions that show up how much stories rely on characters reacting out of proportion. If she knows she's ill, why doesn't she go and ask for a prescription?

w40: 30 September to 6 October

Monday afternoon after work I napped so long that the dog walk was both after dark and in the rain. We stuck to the route that's lit but of course that's also the route with all the dropped food, so I wouldn't say it

w39: 23-29 September

Monday morning a nice brown and amber spider has set up a web across the back door. You could have done that a month ago, I said, when there were more flies. I've just remembered I have two panels of clear hard plastic that used to be the
