    Am :p:p:p

    I got waylaid from the big saga, by the local village last year (today is fiction, btw, since its the weekend :) ) ... and on the principle of write-the-kind-of-thing-you-like-to read, and is popular, I need to turn my saga into a series of stand alone books ... which I can, but thats why I need the outline. It's the kind of thing I love in science fiction, from CJ Cherryh and Julian May, standalone novels (of infinitely more complexity than mine!) that fit into a single universe. Love them.

    Thanks Z :) Been at it a while now (with diversions :o need a cuppa tea.

    Morning! A late start online this morning, because I slept so well :j:j:j which may have had something to do with the humongous walk around a local reservoir yesterday :p

    So, 3 hours client work today, starting in a couple of hours, and I guarantee that the only other thing thats going to get done between now and then is cleaning the stairs. It's occurred to me *why* everything gets so filthy (apart from the rug in my bedroom shedding like crazy) - I'm continually lugging about huge pieces of foam, is why! Four weeks to go :D

    I have lots of things, and lots of sorts of things, that need doing, so I'm not going to put a to-do list up - I'd be lying, completely :D so I'll put a ta-da list up at the end of the day :rotfl:

    :wave: Hello Verbatim, thank you :)

    :wave: Hi RT - yes, they're great, aren't they :D

    Very little to include on one, however :o I made a phone call to find an address I needed, that's it! Dear me, the things we (don't) do :D

    However, there's a Cunning Plan for tomorrow, so that'll be good. It's been good today, admiring the rain - really, really needed round here, sorry for all those who're fed up of the stuff!

    Morning! Woke up a little bit early, so the dishwasher is on, I've been doing some scanning while checking the emails, and preparing a piece of post to go off today. Plus I've checked, and my new Sainsbury energy account is up and running, that's all good. And my French and English bank accounts are both good too.

    Excellent :)

    Right, so today ...

    - post the letter that needs to go.
    - watch for a break in the rain (which has only just stopped, it's been raining since my late afternoon post of yesterday!)
    - ring my dentist and *insist* that I have a routine checkup. Five minutes a year, that's all they'll allow these days ...
    - am I brave enough to ring the Man That Can? There are days next week when he could do it, presuming availability ... must make it a priority, if there's a storm, the shed will fly about like nobody's business.
    - consider which bit of writing needs to be done. Blogs? Fiction outline, though thats for the far future? The freebie to give away with signup? I shall consider :D

    After that, we'll see :)
