Another long day, working on the course for
Swanwick. It’s hard when you only have one hour sessions to know what to
include and what to leave out. Plus I have no idea how many people will be in
each class. Luckily I know the subject, short stories, well enough to not to
worry too much. I can always wing it a bit.
The postman brought me two more assignments
to mark for the Writers Bureau. I like to get them turned round as quickly as
possible, so after taking a break to work in the garden, I did both of those. By
then it was time to eat.
That’s the problem with a large garden. I
was out there for two and a half hours and all I did was cut the grass, trim
the edges and do a bit of a tidy up. I
have a friend coming over tomorrow morning and needed to make sure the
garden was presentable. It’s got rather beyond me this year as I haven’t been
in the mood to keep on top of it. Consequently, it’s a bit out of control. It’s
definitely too much for me to handle by myself which merely reinforces my
desire to move.
Now it’s time to do some housework. I’ have
a pile of washing up as I haven’t bothered to do any for ages. Then I need to
clean and tidy. I might be done in time for the Olympics opening ceremony, but
then again I might not.
I finished watching series six of Dexter late last night.
What an ending! What’s going to happen in the next series, that’s what I want
to know!
Yes, Dexter certainly ended on a cliffhanger!
ReplyDeleteI can sympathise with you over the garden. Mine's the same - partly because it's rained so much this year and partly because I don't have the stamina I once used to have.
