Allergies driving me nuts..  Scotch broom is in bloom.  Work continues.

Work continues.  Coffee is a mental blessing and an intestinal trial.

Call the Midwife is a wonderful show, glad there’s going to be more of it.

I paid for a book recently, Leviathan Wakes, which is the basis for The Expanse, and I am totes loving it.

Lovely meal at the pub last night with Mike and Jeff. Very disturbed night’s sleep, just woke up.

I think I’m going to take today off from writing and putter along with some chores.

Paul and I had a simple lovely walk yesterday.  Salmonberry petals had fallen in a row against the beaver dam in Deer Lake Park. The sun was warm, the breeze cool, and while we heard and saw no frogs the birds were singing beautiful songs, and songs I don’t recollect hearing before. Prob’ly migrants.

I have new wraparound sunglasses and they work really well, although they make me look like a frikkin’ mafiosa.

I am starting to run a fairly severe Alex deficit, I wonder if I’ll be able to see him today.

Work continues. I made a marginally successful breakfast yesterday.  Good swossages are like the frikkin’ grail.

 

Grond crawls on.

Today I’m making a Sunday brunchy thing for us. I hope those turkey swossages are decent.

Much good progress, 16K words to go.

Watched the absolutely hilarious German Hitler comedy Look Who’s Back. Highly, highly recommended, well thought out, and with at least a couple of scenes that made me laugh very, very hard.

Feeling icky. I’m writing but it’s slow going.

work continues…. brekky with Jeff.

Damn, I want to rewatch the Expanse AGAIN.

 

 

Whee.  Some writing, Amorfo is proving a lovely new character.

 

That’s better, real progress.

Look, some promotional material!

Mike dropped by, we ate souvlaki from Golphi’s and watched the first couple of episodes of the Expanse. Finally got some writing done this am.

YEAH YEAH YEAH The Last Kingdom has been renewed for another series, 2017.

The new Jason Bourne movie is out in July of this year, and I am really really looking forward to that, did I mention that earlier?

Made a bunch of deletions so the word count has gone down.  This is definitely one of the disadvantages of posting a daily word count.

brO off to the Gadget House.

Lunch at Paul’s on Thursday, it was lovely to see Alex.  He’s starting to use more consonants. Jeff was rather put off by his eating style, which doesn’t involve much eating, but much mashing of substances.

 

Got a very nice no thanks email from the place I last interviewed. As usual I’m off my feed for a couple of days while the continuing rejection of the market settles in my gut, but ah, well. It’s a numbers game.

Not exactly progress.

Lunch at Planet Bachelor today.

After a good night of sleep, a terrible, terrible one.  Went back to sleep and woke up again at 9:15.  blerg.

Ordered Mike and Nita’s wedding present after conferring with the family.

Interview was good.  There’s a lot of competition and I probably won’t get a call back but hey, it was an interview and it’s a numbers game.
