((This is a really short blog so would be a good one to read if you want to pretend you’re following Peachy’s adventure. Although it’s all about her writing and nothing to do with narrowboats)) We have a lazy morning as I carry on reading; The Ophagy. If you love humour and Greek stuff then it’s the book for you. Then it’s the usual social media, vlog and blog stuff.

I mentioned the other day about getting that niggling feeling about wanting to crack on with some writing. I was thinking to myself ((Dangerous, also who else would you ‘think’ to?)) that I haven’t really managed to add any words to my novel. Although this particular book won’t be published until mid 2024 it still needs a lot adding to it. Also my psychological thriller characters have been moaning and also I’ve had an idea for a zombie novel! The thing is, I do have the time to write nowadays so I really have no excuse! ((I realise I’m in danger of being nice to you twice in one week but you do know that you’ve already written approximately 15,500 words just on this blog so far! So I’ve calculated that if you do turn this into a book ‘a year in the life of a canals or the bog guide to the canals’ it will be roughly 236,000 words so I think you might have to have a think about how you do it as that about 150,000 words too many!)) Oh yeah! Maybe I should just cut out all your words… ((Oi, like I’ve said before I’m the best thing about it)) When you put it that was then 15,500 words in just over 3 weeks isn’t bad at all.

In the afternoon my pal and her son come over and we spent a pleasant few hours chilling in The Trent pub garden having a good old catch up. It’s the first friend I’ve seen out on the cut!

I think this is the first blog so far with no narrowboat stuff! ((I’ve already said that!))

Until tomorrow… x
