Long Awaited Walk in the Sun!

Last weekend the sun finally came out and I deemed it warm enough to venture outside. Admittedly it was not the first time it had shown its cheery face, but I was getting desperate!
The wind was still a little chilly, but I had waited so long that I didn't care. I needed the sea; the sight and the smell and the wonderful sound of the surf unrolling itself onto the beach And it was glorious.
The winter had seemed incredibly long, longer than usual I thought, so I was glad it had finally picked up its miserably cold and wet skirts and departed.

out the windows is grey and dismal. Sheer determination is what
has achieved any of the progress I have made these last few months.
Now, as the sap begins to rise and everything in nature is reborn in glorious technicolour, I can feel gret things stirring inside of me too. At least, I hope that's what it is!
We are running another Goodreads Giveaway this month (see top right of blog) with #Simple Says, Anita's second book.
It remains to be seen just how productive these are, but nearly 900 people entered the one we ran for #Bad Moon, so the interest is there and that is the most important thing.
I have also become involved with a group on Goodreads called 'Making Connections'. They run Blog Tours for up and coming authors, and I thought it might be interesting to do some reviews and promotional work with them.
I hadn't a clue if I would be any good at it, but found I liked doing it. Another way to stretch those creative writing muscles. And you get to help other authors, which is always a good thing. And you never know, I might just pluck up the courage to get them to do a Blog Tour for one of our own books.

I have been making considerable progress with my new laptop, despite more frustration than you can shake a stick at!
Being made to feel stupid is not exactly a hobby of mine, but when it comes to anything remotely computer-ish...I just can't seem to help myself.
But...and this is a massive but... I do appear to be getting somewhere. I even managed to write some notes on the new instrument of torture and send them back to my PC, so it looks as though I will be able to work out in the garden this summer and that has to be worth getting the grand daddy of all headaches for, at least I think so!
See you all next week...
