I got up at 5.30am to work on The Book and got a fair bit written but I can't use any of it. For some reason, I went off on this weird little tangent set in a coffee shop when what I should've been writing is Character 1, sitting in his kitchen awaiting his first meeting with Character 2. Why this happened is totally beyond me, unless it's the natural result of getting up before 5.30am which is, indeed, a silly thing for anyone to do imo.
Hey ho, all is not lost; I can use everything I wrote much later in the story when Ch.2 finally gets Ch 1 to smell the coffee and get off his terrified and lazy arse and do something about the situation he's created - but that's a long way down the line, so this morning's endeavours have to go into cold storage for a time. Dang.
Other than that, I have been Good. I have worked out, been out for a run, eaten Proper Things for the first time in weeks, got several things done from The List of Tedious Things that still need to be done; a builder has been engaged to remove the cracked path and lay a new one, and fence off the bottom of the garden and I've made an appointment with a solicitor for next week. Things are happening; things are getting done.
Right now, I'm sitting on the sofa with a cup of lapsang souchong, about to start work on the Rainbows story (yes, again. sigh).
Oh man, look - it's not even 4 O' clock and it's practically dark. ::shiver::

And double YAY for starting work on the Rainbows story! *vvvbg*
Good luck with it all!
It's 3:33 here and so dark! I just keep thinking, "In 22 days, they'll start getting longer!". =>}

Rainbows... It was almost done but then all this happened and I've kind of lost the thread a bit, I sat down to write yesterday but couldn't remember what I'd planned; I need to think some more before I leap in again. It's three chapters from the end; I really need to get it done.
And yup, winter's here; sun's down here at 3 and it's properly dark by 4. I've had to bring my run forward to 2pm. ::is not happy:: (o:

I'm very glad that my brother is taking care of Mum's papers and finances. I can't even imagine doing that. ::hugs::
Whenever you get Rainbows done, I will be happy to see it! =>}
Here I thought WE got short days! Yours are a bit shorter!
I especially notice our short days in the summer, because the sun sets a good 35 minutes LATER at the cottage, since it's so much further west in our time zone!
Today is a lovely, sunny (if cold) day and I love that, sparkling off the new snow! *g*
