Friday was a surprising day - first I managed to write 3000 words while manning the bookshop despite constant interruptions and they were not of the sale variety - good effort there. Then, Charlie messaged me about lunch. Marvelous! So it was out to lunch with Pip, Charlie, and Mrs Harris (somethings just stick). Jolly … Continue reading Friday Dec 20

And it all changed …
Welcome to the weekend. I knew this was going to be a writing weekend - because yesterday morning as I read the last chapter I wrote (a few days ago), I could hear Ellie. I heard the exasperation.

Ten things about this week …
It's my birthday on Dec 12. I will be spending it alone because everyone is always busy in December and because My Knight isn't here this year. AND I HATE IT.

Since I've been away taking very good care of #MyKnight while he recovers from a hip replacement, I've actually done a few things. I know, I was surprised too. For starters, ALL the Byte … Continue reading Dear Readers,
Everything should sparkle
Seriously, it should. Not just because I just saw a glitter helmet on the telly (watching American Pickers with My Knight). I've been a sparkle lover my whole life. And you all know the joy when my daughter told me I could have GLITTER on my book covers. 🙂 As it stands now, two of … Continue reading Everything should sparkle
Learning stuff!
After spending almost all afternoon trying to animate a book cover and thinking it didn't work outside of GIMP ... my brain kicked back in this morning and of course it works. Doh! So, back into GIMP I went and messed around with Cryptobyte just to see ... this is a first attempt and with … Continue reading Learning stuff!

This morning I was supervising exercises ... looked painful and there are a lot of exercises to do.But then if you think about it - it's going to be painful.
