So, Tuesday was all about poor communication and rubbish customer service. Wednesday was all about technology failing… I reminded myself that Mercury was now in retrograde and wondered if that…

Yesterday started well. We were both up in good time, we had breakfast before work started, and we were both pretty much at our desks in good time.  The first…

I was busy on Friday trying to catch up with everything. I wrote Friday’s blog, chose the picture, published it, then shared it. I did a quick 5-minute tech declutter….

I took 2 days off last week, but that didn’t necessarily mean I didn’t do any work. Thursday morning we took the dog back to his humans. On the way…

It was a struggle to get up for some reason yesterday, but I was only an hour late to my desk, so not too bad. As I opened the curtains,…

The only thing I really worked on on Friday was The Secret of Whitehorse Farm. And even then it was only pre-writing. Everything else was on binder work in Scrivener…

Our internet is shocking at the moment. The entire village have been complaining, despite high-speed cables being laid beneath the roads in recent months. We’re getting all the upheaval of…

We had a late night on Thursday, binge watching something on Netflix. Fortunately, it meant we were still up to watch one of the apparently best ever shows of the…

Oh, my goodness! I’ve only gone and chosen an image by the founder of Pixabay himself! 😮 The day started quite well yesterday. The plan was to finally send out…

The plan was to step away from the newsletter for a day or so and get on with some other work. However, there was one thing I wanted to do:…

And there we have it. Another week gone by in a flash. I didn’t do a great deal yesterday other than cogitate all day over cosy mysteries. I had a…

Image courtesy of Deposit Photos It’s free image day, hence today’s picture. I liked it, so I used it. How can I be writing Thursday’s blog post already? It seems…

I bought 2 books in the end from Amazon with my gift vouchers, earned playing games, and I still had £5.02 left. The books I bought were both writers’ guides….

I finished yesterday’s blog post yesterday and before I did anything else, I went out to feed the birds. We have a blackbird who comes and stands on the fence,…

Monkey Dust had a fab gig on Friday night. They always do at the Irish Bar in Doncaster. They have a good crowd in there. I dropped the poet off…

We have a meal plan. Not because of any diet, but originally for budgetary purposes and now for variety. Plus, it’s easier if we don’t have to decide what to…

Before we’d had our tea on Monday, son #2 came to see his dad for his birthday. He stayed for quite a while and we really put the world to…

Yesterday started sunny and bright but looked as though it might rain. By mid-morning, the clouds had scurried away but it was still a bit blowy. It was nice to…

Well, it’s been a busy few days again. Monkey Dust were back in the studio for rehearsals on Thursday and they had their first gig of the year on Saturday,…

I had some catching up to do yesterday as I’d lost a lot of time on Friday. First of all I’d had to wait around for a delivery, then I…

Wow. Friday again. That came around quick… We both slept really well on Wednesday night resulting in us both getting up on time. I did get up with the poet…

The first job I did yesterday was yesterday’s blog post as I hadn’t done it last Friday, for some reason. I only managed 474 words, and it went towards yesterday’s…

I did start writing the first sci-fi mystery story on Friday, but I didn’t make a note of how many words I wrote. I wrote them straight into Scrivener, and…

The prompt, wordcount and deadline for 12 STORIES IN 12 MONTHS were all announced/confirmed first thing in the morning, so the first job I did was go to my TickTick…

Tuesday began with me starting to type up THE SECRET OF WHITEHORSE FARM. The idea is to write in longhand one day, type it up the next day during the…

The weekend So, what did we get up to at the weekend? We did quite a bit on Saturday. My delivery arrived on Friday of letter trays, jellies and expanding…

Wednesday I didn’t get up on time on Wednesday thanks to the dog waking me up at 4:30am and me failing to get back to sleep until 10 minutes after…

While the new regime wasn’t supposed to start until Tuesday, I did actually do some work on Monday too. We’d already spent some time rearranging the office, and on Monday…

Did you have a lovely Christmas? Ours was very relaxed. We didn’t do any baking, but of course the poet still cooked us a rather splendid Christmas dinner. We had…

Before I finished work on Thursday, and while the poet was at his last band practice of the year, I worked on this week’s diary instead of leaving it until…

Well, that didn’t work very well. Despite working on yesterday’s blog post offline, WordPress wouldn’t let me start today’s post offline. Which kind of defeats the object of not going…

The rest of Friday was great. I can’t remember precisely how the rest of Friday went, but that has to be good, right? Ah yes, I remember… I did some…
