No not at all. There is a summer horror, summer fantasy, think it will be quite mixed genre.

Sophie has just read the Tales of Peter Rabbit, in English! That's a good sign, okay they are below her actual reading age, but they are in another language, which puts her well in advance of the others in her class! Lol, that will be one class she comes top in at least!
Sharon wrote: "Good for her."I'm going to test her actual reading age in English, I'm going to send for a couple of the Pony Club books in English from Amazon! All the English books she has are for 5 - 6 years, that her godmother bought her before we left England. Since we left England she has forgotten all about Sophie! Some people are strange, she hasn't sent so much as a birthday card for Sophie!
Hmmm that is a bit mean. But then one of my godfathers don't even speak to my mum and dad and he is my mums brother. Hence I only have one godfather in my eyes.

Good deeds, it would seem are a one way street in some peoples books.
I can't promise to have something done in time, as I am trying to finish my WIP for publication but I will try. Likely the be romance or fantasy. I assume it has to be fairly clean?
Just not over done with swearing, gore or sex, some is obviously allowed.

And I wonder why I'm stressed!
Sharon wrote: "Just not over done with swearing, gore or sex, some is obviously allowed."I'm up to chapter 18 on the revision of The Menorah Murders, and have decided to buy myself a new keyboard, as half the errors noted are where I typed the word and the key stuck missing the y or the d or the n off! Noted I should have seen it when I read it through but I didn't, and the spell checker missed it too because the word typed was spelled correct, it just wasn't the right word!

Thanks Sharon. It was the right knee, just badly bruised. My arms are hurting more at the moment. Your ex is a right ***. Phil is watching football at the moment I can't complain because he is stressed out from work and he has a high blood presure band on his arm. Glad to here you are back with the murders. I have been writing a lot at the moment, back in the flow. My key board is also causing me problems with sticky keys, I might follow your lead and buy a new one.Phil is not so happy now it is 1-2 to Madrid.
I shall try and check in tomorrow but time seems to be against me when i am writing.

Does phil take bp meds? Get him some passiflora tablets, they will help relax him, unwind the stress naturally and try to get him to visit a hypnotherapist, I use a self help hypnosis recording, you can buy them on cd or download them to an MP 3 player, they usually offer three free recordings, which work as well as the ones you buy. I used mine the other day to unwind the knots in my stomach. My IBS flared up and nothing would help until I did the hypnotherapy. Lol, I fell asleep, again!
Morning everyone,Alain's got to go and have a CAT scan for the spot that won't go, the specialist says it has roots 1cm deep. He thinks it's benign, let's hope he's right!
Morning allHow is all today?
Is Alain having it today?
Morning!keeping my fingers crossed for you Sarah.
Morning all.Best wishes for the scan.
I'm off to see my new nephew for the first time today.

No, Friday afternoon.
I have been paint shopping 5 litres of one coat paint 72 Euros! Daylight flipping robbery! I didn't buy Dulux as that would have been 96 Euros!

Thanks Eva, another notch on stress level, just as it was starting to come down. I bought some more passiflora tablets, I get the feeling I'm gonna need them!

Thanks Tony. Congratulations Uncle Tony!
You just need to think positive Sarah. I know that is easier said then done, most times.
Sharon wrote: "You just need to think positive Sarah. I know that is easier said then done, most times."Yes I know, try telling that to my stomach! Which has once again started tying itself into knots, in anticipation of whatever can go wrong inevitably does where my luck is concerned. Just when everything was starting to fall into place.
Night allI'm off to paint, a little light therapy!
Trisha wrote: "Hi all"Hi Trisha, just back from painting and designing my new kitchen!
Trisha wrote: "Cool"Yes, but now I have to try and make sense of my design! The problem so far is that I have to try and match the top and bottom cupboards and that's where the fun and games is starting!
Morning all, Yes I know it is early. Been in work since 7 this morning. Just as well as it is pouring down outside. I would have been caught in that!
Hey I left at 5.10 to get here. Its a long trek.
Sharon wrote: "Hey I left at 5.10 to get here. Its a long trek."Now, now children, I got up at almost 10 this morning! Now I bet you're both jealous!
Morning to you both, I am going to disappear again today, painting is calling again!
Sharon wrote: "Morning Sarah"Morning, been into town quickly, and now it's lunchtime,where did the morning go?
I know, it does appear to be flying by.
Sharon wrote: "I know, it does appear to be flying by."It's also raining here too today, it started during the night. I'm going to paint the bathroom after lunch, before the plumber comes and gets in my way. Lol it won't take me long there are only bits of walls!
Rose white, hint of a tint stuff and then it gets ivy stencilled on!
Sharon wrote: "Very nice."I hope so, right, a quick tidy up and I'm off. Morning Trisha, sorry, flying visit today. If I'm ever to finish the decorating I have to pass a few hours covered in paint!
I'm a messy painter, it ends up on my hands, my clothes, my hair, everywhere, sometimes even on the walls!
Hey, just a quick note, we got the flat!!! I get the lovely keys on the 15th!!! wooohooo!
