Weekly Round Up #12

 

 

 

Weel it has been quite a week, where to start well…

The Paraolympics have started and I have just watched our poster girl Ellie Simmond regain her 400m freestyle crown in the pool with an outstanding world record into the bargain.

If the able bodied atheletes were an inspiration then these atheletes are true spirits of the muse, not only do they have to put in the same gruelling training but they must also overcome physical obstacles which would make many of us curl up and pity ourselves.  If anyone doesn’t believe these games mean just as much as the games we have just watched then look at Ellie’s face, that says it all.

I am sat as I type this watching the new series of Doctor Who, my favourites foes the Daleks are back saturday nights just got interesting again

Hmmm what else it was fancy dress at work today, school uniform day for the back to school promotion , so I thought I would post a rare pic of me but if your expecting sexy school girl sorry to disappoint,

Do you like my new glasses by the way? They will not be allowed anywhere near puppy

So anyway back to last weeks tasks

1) 5k words towards the ghost story collectiion I have the outlines time to start writing

Only 3k words done but have got the outlines far clearer now and have the corkboard set up on Scrivener

 

2) Ms Katykins and I are considering a read along for the Mysteries of Uldopho by Anne Radcliffe for next month so I need to work out how we are going to do it and get a post prepared please if you have the book and fancy reading along let me know

Yes I started the masterpost if you missed it you can check it out here and I am now working on the page for all the listings

 

3) Get my boiler fixed lol it has died again so will be calling them out in the morning the laundry is piling up because the lovely summer we are having is not helping in getting clean washing dried

Well they came they looked and went away to order parts but hopefully by monday evening it will be up and running

 

4) Get all daughters stuff ready for her leaving and then work out how I am going to make use of the extra space lol am looking forward to actually being able to get to my desk and get it set up properly I am coming to the conclusion a designated work space and time will be a definite plus

We are nearly there and my desk plan is coming along nicely as soon as it is done I promise pics

 

5) Make a note of some of my book marks incase they dont swap over when I change computers am thinking if I create a word doc then copy and paste the links into it that might be the best way to do it

Nope didn’t start on this one but not a bad week so not too upset

1) Start reading mysteries of Udolpho

2) Get my desk set up

3) At least 3k words ton ghost stories
