Saturday 9 September 2023

Summer's back!

 Seems that way and in September too, by golly! Yesterday's recordings seem OK this morning; there was even some capture of the Casio piano into the Cosmos for a nice change. Tim coming today and I expect we'll sit in the sun and drink beer for a bit. Pat was off early with Benji so a curry beckons this evening. 

Sunday was very sunny and I spent much of it lolling. Was gonna get a new froggy tie for wedding but all the ones I liked can't be delivered in time, so it's back to the old faithful one. Seem to have misplaced the alien tie, reducing my choices somewhat. Did some work on the start/end parts of WSGL and sent to Cara (Kitten Bakery) as this will be my base document for draft 3. I plan to start that sometime in this next month as I feel the time is right. Pat still not back so it's a very chilled day. Hope she not late as driving in the dark not good with her dicky eye.

Today I hacked a number of trees in the garden and ripped out the dry, dead mass of honeysuckle. Are those things related to honey badgers, I wonder? I also seem to be back in writing mode, which is nice. 

Wednesday, novel updates going well - making those little changes that explain some of the things in my head that aren't otherwise obvious. Went to pub with Tim and it were grand. Pat had a go later cos I hadn't asked whether the wedding food would be vegetarian. Not entirely sure why I'd ask that since neither of us are veggie but she may have been miffed about something else, can never tell. 

Thursday and Pat suffering with cystisis again overnight. No walk as was meant to be another heatwave but, of course, that didn't happen. Tony wanting to book Oct 21st but something about end October rings a bell - William coming maybe. I'll check if Pat has forgotten to put it on calendar. May get into studio this afternoon, hope so as tomorrow is wedding day and I'll have to stay straight. 





Wedding went well although mum struggled badly. She'd sourced an oxygen supply but then refused to use it (or hadn't brought it). Janet somewhat drunk and insisting I dance, swore at mum, felt Pat wasn't taking part. Tried explaining she had cystisis but nothing was registering. Lisa looked lovely and very happy for them both.
Saturday was stupidly hot. Sat in the cool and did novel stuff - up to chapter 20 now of draft 3, making small but necessary revisions and clarifications. Started doing chapter titles too, will see if I keep that  up.
