hamlettaMy internet has been intermitted the last few days for some reason, which is getting on my nerves--especially as it may require a phone call to the supplier, and the very idea makes me shiver.
Yesterday we celebrated husband's birthday with a trip to a concert (Jeff Beck, husband's guitar hero). I enjoyed the show, and quite liked the opening act Imelda May, whom I haven't heard before. The event was at Chelsea Hospital, which is a lovely open air venue. We met husband's friends for a snack before the show and continued with drinks afterwards, so it was a rather pleasant evening, and he enjoyed it a lot, which was nice to see.
Unfortunately, for some reason I couldn't sleep afterwards. I'm never a good sleeper, but this night was particularly bad. I think I finally fell asleep around 6 am. I stayed in bed into the afternoon, but woke up tired and cranky anyway. On top of that, my ankle still hurts, and it got worse after all the walking we did yesterday. So I ended up having a rather miserable day today. (And of course I should be in bed already, but, well. I'm not).
On the brighter side, my copy of Revenant Gun arrived yesterday, and it's now happily on the shelf next to its siblings. :)
My own novel is about 90k now, and it's reached the stage when I think I need 20k to finish, but know from experience that the 20k will end up being anything from 10 to 40k... But I'll do my best not to let it sprawl too much. It's a rambling mess at the moment so the edit's going to be hard... I'll do the initial pass and then start begging for betas because this novel will definitely need some help.
