Some things...

Ack...I think I am actually drowning in work. I have so much to do, it makes me want to fall down and just forget...Maybe I should move to Brazil and work in a bar for the rest of my life...No.
So we got back from Devon, I finished my story in time and I'm happy to say it seems to have been thoroughly enjoyed. it was a lovely holiday and I was definitely happy to get away for a while (no laptop = no blog, no twitter, no email & also no mobile signal... incommunicado!)
That's all - I know it's a short post but I seem to have run out of things to say, which is surprising. Probably something to do with my depressingly large pile of papers waiting to be written. Hm.

Devon

On Friday we're setting off to Devon to stay in a time-share in Hope Barton and hopefully see some friends down there who - due to the distance - we don't often meet up with.
Other things:

• It was my Dad's birthday yesterday
• I haven't finished his present yet
• It's a top priority
• It's not finished
• IT'S NOT FINISHED!

So yeah...I'm trying to finish off something I've been writing for him, but I need a little longer and we leave tomorrow so I basically have this evening and then whatever time I can scrounge tomorrow to type furiously and then email it to my kindle (family rule is no laptops on holiday so you won't hear from me for another week or so).
Just thought I'd resurrect myself long enough to update and say I'm not dead, which is a point that could be argued. Done that, sinking back down to the grave of deadlines...

Newcastle weekend!

This weekend we went up to Newcastle to visit my aunt and cousin, which was lovely! Briana watched rather a lot of television (we don't have one at home) and I mostly ransacked the bookshelves and wore my phone battery down listening to music. We had a nice walk around Tynemouth and had lunch in a great pub! Nothing else to add, except to mention the enormous workload waiting for me when I get home!
