And then the rest of the day was clear – to write my latest
book. Great! Just what I needed. And
just what the book needed – it has been rather neglected of late because I was
away celebrating my birthday with a
wonderful group of friends in a cottage in Derbyshire.
So - I get up, make
coffee – let the cats in . . . Ruby the black and white cat runs in happily,
looking for food.
Oh – oh – Charlie the Maine Coon obviously has a problem. He comes in slowly and awkwardly, hobbling
and limping on his back leg. So today I
have to
Phone the vet
Take Charlie to the vet
Get his medication

I now need Elastoplast – no Elastoplast
A trip to the chemist to get Elastoplast . . . right, now I
can write the post for Tote Bags . . .
Switch on the computer. Plan to check
emails first . . .

Send for computer repair guy who luckily can come at short
notice. Wait while he sorts out computer/password/email mess-up. . .
Husband needs feeding. I need something for the headache that is now
pounding at my head.
We don’t have something for a headache. I need to go to the
chemist for something for the headache.
While I am out the parcel I was waiting in for (supposedly while writing
my post for Tote Bags) has ‘attempted to
deliver’ - and taken back to the depot
as I was not in. I need this package today . Make a journey to the depot to collect
it. Come home to find another parcel
(from a different depot) has not been
delivered because it does not have
eno
ugh postage on it. I need this one too
. . .go to another depot and pay postage only to find it’s not the package I was expecting after all.
Return home. Charlie needs a second dose of medicine.
Another towel, more treats, more scratches.
Now I can write a post for Tote Bags. Sit down at the
computer to find that all memory of the post I was going to write has
disappeared from my brain and the headache tablets aren’t helping.
This time last week I was in this lovely cottage in the
countryside,
surrounded by bluebell woods, celebrating with those special
friends – I really wish I was back
there! 

And then I’ll hope to have some time to get back to work on
the latest book.
Have a great weekend –
I hope yours is as good as last week was for me.
