It’s been a weird week…….I’ve not had time to do a thing, at all! The house needs cleaning and tidying but I’ve been so busy it’s not been done. I started off well on my word count for National Novel Writing Month, managing to do nearly two thousand words on my iphone on one day’s train journey and then the rest of the week has been in decline. The story has changed from a thriller to a romance…it seems that anything goes. Also I am now thousands of words behind schedule and feeling like I’ve lost my way.                    

I’ve been shocked…..

I’ve felt embarrassed for someone else……

I dared get my hopes up very slightly only to have them quashed big time leaving a huge huge weight on my shoulders……oh well, I’m sure I/we will get through it! Somehow.

I’ve been touched by the kindness of some…….

I made a big decision one day……only to change my mind hours later.

I’ve taken refuge in Starbucks too many times to mention……

I’ve been to London three times, again…..that journey is so long and so boring. I don’t know how commuters do it. It is absolute torture trying to stay awake on the train after 9 o’clock at night.

I’ve seen two elephants……

I have eaten two pizzas, one chorizo and one vegetarian……thanks to the wonderful Soho Joe’s in Dean Street, Soho, London.

I’ve had a fair few glasses of wine, thank you to Soho Joe’s again! Naughty but very nice and much needed…..

I had an allergic reaction to something mysterious and have gone around most of the week with an attractive looking swollen and red face.

I was given a bottle of Limoncello

We went to Buckingham Palace to waste some time and watched the soldiers marching….at least Little M wasn’t scared of them this time…….apparently soldiers kill foxes. Phew.

And we’ve seen the Canada memorial

I really hope next week is slightly less eventful…..
