I’ve been missing! My guilt at not posting on my blog is
growing HUGE! Then I tell myself that everyone has times when everything seems
a little overwhelming.
Step-Dad got through his cancer operation okay. My mother
has found it hard, especially as she likes her space and my step-brother and
step-sister have been staying with her. Why are the hospitals always so far
away? No joke to be driving so far at nearly 80. Cue another guilt attack.
Hubbie is only having one evening meal a week at home at the
moment with his punishing work schedule – which I suppose increases my work
schedule too. Add in a few other family issues and my blog has not got written.
On the positive side, in a bid to avoid a couple of return
journeys from school, last week I tried driving to the Park and Ride close to
school and spent the day in The Hive at Worcester. This is the new library,
archives and hub building in Worcester which has a strange gold roof. The Park
and Ride was fantastic – I’d already written three character studies by the
time they dropped me off. I found a table in The Hive with a view of the moon
and the Malverns and edited non-stop for two hours. Lunch in one of my
favourite cafés The Ginger Pig and then back for another two hours solid
editing. A thoroughly successful day and one I hope to repeat often.
I have come to the conclusion that I will edit more
successfully away from home as there are less distractions. Does this work for
you too?
