I think - not sure but I think - that my alterna-me website is about finished. There are little pictures and some bits of stories. If anyone has a look and spots a typo please let me know here? I'm not sure how to handle comments there. I assume they are pretty hard to make. It was fun if time consuming to do. But now I know what shortcuts to take revisions should be easier to make.
Had a fright Saturday night. Huge screech and bang outside so I ran out to see what was going on and it was one of my daughter's friends - she had misjudged the turn at the bottom of the road and decided it might be better to run into a wall rather than ram the back of a car. All the kids, including Jen, are okay thanks to seat belts and crumple zones, but the car is very poorly and so is the wall. I went into 'taking charge mode', which is effective if a little apologetic - "Um - if you two could take Em and make her tea, oh and, Jen, put a bag of frozen peas on Al's knee? Now please?" I hate it when I know I'm talking in questions but it got the job done. The poor little driver was hysterical. The owner of the wall was quite calm once he'd taken in the situation and realised that a] bricks are easier to put back together than his car would have been and b] the kid's dad owns a building firm.
I can't believe that there are only 2 weeks of summer holiday left. Himself has just stopped shouting in his sleep and is sleeping soundly and properly for once. I'm turning the damned alarm off and keeping it off for the next two weeks. He may as well sleep in while he can.
Now mum's eye has completely healed from her cataract op she says too much light is getting in and she has taken to wearing a very cool pair of aviator shades that she bought on a trip to the local garage. This means that she can't see well enough to find things and she trips over that cat, but she's happy! No honest.
The cat - the black one whose tail was in a parlous state - is fine. The tail still hinges a bit in the middle but he can lift it up and wave it all the way to the tip. So bruised rather than broken thank goodness.
I have a zip file of books to review [I'm halfway through a Chandleresque noirish murder mystery at the moment. All good fun] a book to beta, another to beta again [they agreed to have me back *wipes away tear*] and my pirate story to finish. 75K words and I've just about got them to boinking point, thanks to Protagonist Kit being a self righteous arse and me not wanting to 'do it all wrong'.
Happy Monday guys and gals.
