It’s now seven days until the end of the month and a large number of submissions still need work. I also need to get my first draft done for the talk, so I can check the USB works this time. Last time, I was lucky as I had plenty of examples. This time I don’t have so much to pass round. I’ve had two years to sort this out and I am still not sure if the USB will work – this is poor organisation of the highest order.
Soda bread with spring onion and cheese. And possibly garlic, I can’t tell from a photo. No new photos of lambs or puppies so I am falling back on bread.
So, here I am. A talk needs writing and testing, a month’s poetry needs submitting and I have other bits and pieces to do. Plus, I am still not feeling 100%. The good thing is that I know it’s all my fault. No external circumstances, no excuses, nobody else involved. It’s the best way, because I don’t need to waste time on excuses. I am going to get going and a week from now I will have amazed myself by all the work I have done.
This may not include reading other blogs as time and energy are limited, but I will catch up the week after.
It is better, I think to peer into the future and see a bucket of writhing eels which all need taming, rather than to look into a bucket and see a solitary pond snail in my future.
It may not be the best selected metaphor, but I’m warming up for poetry and these things creep in. However, I’m sure you get the gist.
And, as the first casualty of my need for industry is word count, I will cut it at 250 and go to do something else.
Plain soda bread with butter. The addition of butter doubles the size of my repertoire.
Do not reply to this comment, get working.
I look forward to next week
I look forward to the end of next week. 🙂
All sounds like good progress!
I like eels and snails, and enjoyed the metaphor. 🙂
🙂 Thank you Lavinia.
The bread looks magnificent and the solitary snail is a great metaphor.
I need to bake more, but I also need to eat less. A modern conundrum. How many previous generations have had the problem of too much food?
Bread looks great. I consider that a good day
Now I need to find the enthusiasm to repeat it. 🙁

That bread looks fantastic! You are quite the cook. Sometimes, when life gets really busy, it’s necessary to take blogging breaks. Attend to your creative life. We will be here when life has calmed down for you.
Thank you Laurie. It has gone well so far today. 🙂
