Home for the holidays.
Two weeks off work for some R & R. Or 3Rs. Reading and wRiteing and Rhythm – tick. And 3Ss. Sea, Sand and hopefully Sunshine. 16 days if you count the weekend at both ends
Day zero – get home, fill wine glass and stroll onto the deck, where the patio heater is already warming up.
Make plans for the staycation. Not too many – I have a tendancy to think I can cram a lot more in. I’ll under expect, and over acheive.
Top of the list are three things –
- finishing my book of poems so it can go off to be published. I’m editing it all myself and using an on-line publishing tool – Blurb. It’s been a tough learning curve but I am making progress. It’s easier than getting my head round this website malarky which is currently causing a stress headache – and that was before I got to this page!
- Getting this website into use – thats what i am doing now. Understanding the terminology, like the differences between Posts and Pages, and clarifying in my head what it’s purpose is. Will people be interested, and does that matter? Will it help to promote my books? Will it enthuse me to write more for writings sake – to keep my mind active and give me a “ME” place to download my head. Well no-one wants to see that, dear! This is my second website. The first is at www.GrannyKnockKnock.co.uk and was set up when my grandsons were quite small. Its got some poetry and some jokes and a little bit of granny type advice.
- Family time. I’ll have some days of the family all being together. Some at my son and DIL, and a couple of days at the seaside too. I also have neices to see, Brother to meet with, and hopefully a catch up with friends too. Hmm – like I said, I might be trying to cram too much in. Because as well as all this
There are things to do in the garden, there’s stuff needs taking to the charity shop, I need to collect my new specs and I need to send off a renewal for my passport. Tried doing the form on-line but its on a beta site and won’t let you pay when you get to the end. Swapped from Firefox to Edge to see if that worked but no good.
Once I get that little list out of the way, I can get back to writing new stuff.
