Hello again from an overcast
and breezy north west of England. After a few days of higher temperatures, it
is back to normal here. I’m not a hot weather person so it doesn’t bother me,
except sunshine is nice.
I’m feeling a bit meh. Sleep
hasn’t been my friend recently so I’m tired and tetchy. My arthritis is causing
problems. All of this is exacerbated by the house move which is suddenly imminent
after a good few weeks of nothing. My mobility issues make the move more complicated
but I’m sure we’ll work it out. We intend to pay for the removal firm to pack
everything as well as move us. I did this nineteen years ago when I last moved,
and it made life so much easier. We’ll have people to help us as well. There
are a few jobs to do on the house, but as we don’t want to delay moving for too
long, we’ll have them done while we are there.
I am excited about the move
as it will make life easier for me, but my brain is full of worry with the logistics
of the move. I’m one of these people who tend to plan everything down to where each
piece of furniture will go and who will be where when during the process. Because
my brain is overthinking about this, writing has been very slow because my MCs aren’t
getting any time to talk to me. The current WIP is the story of Cormac and
Lachie from My Highland Cowboy and so
far, I’ve managed 12,000 words with a ague outline of ideas. I suppose it will
happen when it happens.
On the reading front, I’ve discovered
Garrett Leigh. I’ve no idea why I’ve not read her stuff before as I tend to
read British writers. She had a book, Rented
Heart, on offer so I read that then Soul
to Keep, Between Ghosts and have
downloaded Misfits. Before I read
that, I’m reading Second Chance by
Jay Northcote. I’m also looking forward to reading Josh Lanyon’s latest,
especially Take the High Road set in
Scotland.
We are still making our way
through Buffy and Angel watching them together. Legends of Tomorrow has now finished.
Love this series for its diversity and I’m looking forward to getting
Constantine as part of the team, even though his accent is slightly dodgy.
Started watching S3 of Shadowhunters.
I will admit to watching it most for Malec as most of the other characters annoy
me.
My other watching obsession is kittens. Tinykittens is a fostering group
which rescues feral and non-feral cats and kittens. At present they have three
feral mother cats who have just given birth. I can watch for ages. The photo shows Mason, a former feral, battle scared male with kidney problems. He was given six months, but his love of kittens has kept him going. He'll be in seventh heaven when the new lot get to play with him. One of the MCs
in a story that is written but I’m not sure what to do with, fosters kittens.
Other than the above, the
other obsession in my life is football. It’s that time of the season and on a
happy note, my local team, Accrington Stanley, have been promoted to the highest
league they have ever achieved. They survive on so little income, so this is no
mean feat. The wage bill for the whole club is around £15,000 a week. Some Premiership
players will earn that in less than a day. My other club, Cardiff City, will
undoubtedly leave me with no fingers, let alone nails. To get automatic promotion
to the Premiership, you have to be in the top two. We are second by one point
with three games to play. The third place team have two games to play. We need
to win two more games, or we go into the playoffs, and I’ve no doubt we’d lose.
Every game is nail biting, but that’s football for you.
That’s all for now. Happy
writing and reading everyone.
