In a depressing realisation, today marked three years ago since I made a pledge that I would begin writing again, in an attempt to actually complete a second draft of my Suki Baines novel. That didn’t amount to much apart from the pledge. This on top of saying at the last Other Book Group meeting that I aimed to do the same this year and force Nicoline to critically read it. Given my continually advancing age, I better start soon.
I didn’t restart today. Maybe tomorrow.
Mind you, I did write something: A press release for the next Riksteater production. Not that it will ever be printed. Having written it, I realised the performance date will arrive before the printing happened. I better start writing a press release for the production after the next one.
Still on writing, I also have to write something for the local paper regarding our time in Trosa and why we love it so much. Though that will have to wait a bit because I have yet to start writing my next Letter from Sweden which is due this week.
All of that makes it look like I’ve been busy, but it’s more the lack of motivation than the lack of time. Of course, I fill in time doing other things but just not always the things I enjoy most.
Mind you, I did walk down to the OSP HQ today to pick up some printing – posters for the next production which we will, possibly, put up around town tomorrow. Possibly at the expense of writing.
Something more enjoyable I did do today was to take the girls as far as the second bench. After the effect the long walk around the mountain had on Freya on Saturday, I thought it wise to return to the short walk. And she loved it. Emma thought it was too short but then she had a second, longer walk with Mathilde later in the day.
Of course, the weather wasn’t particularly nice though the rain held off for our walk after lunch.
In recovery news, Freya seems a lot better. She actually ate her meals at her normal rate and her tail was up and wagging more than it has been for a bit. That could be because her course of tablets has stopped which means I no longer force things down her throat. That makes me very happy too.
In other recovery news, Mirinda seems better today as well. She went to uni and made sure not to sit for too long at a time, something which helps with back problems.
