I haven't written much this week.Partly because I haven't got a lot to say and partly because I've been doing other things. I've actually had some work to do. And, for some bizarre reason, I feel that work comes first. I've also been doing bits of my novel this week - I've written about 1300 words or so and it's trundling along nicely. I still haven't finished the funeral bit, but the ceremony has just started and I know exactly what comes next. I even worked out a reason for one of the things that I just threw in as a nice image and it fits in quite nicely with all the rest of the story. I like it when things come together like that.
I've also been adding more stuff to my database. I've finished recording all the books that are stored by title and started on those stored by creator (I'm already up to Warren Ellis). Exciting stuff, eh?
So, I've actually been fairly busy really. Which is quite nice.
I had another nasty bout of rhinitis-induced snot drippage earlier in the week. I am getting so sick of this. It's now been every weekend for the last three or four weeks and it's just not good. Although it isn't really stopping me doing stuff, it is stopping me feeling all happy and relaxed while doing it. So, I don't think I'm getting all the rest I should be. Or am I just whinging? Anyway, I went to the doc's on Tuesday and got yet more medicine. Just what I wanted. So, not I'm on beconase spray - which is a steroid I shove up my nose and I just don't want to think what long term usage of that will be - and some sort of anti-histamine - this one in the form of a pill, so I'll just get to screw up my stomach lining with this one. I've also got am decongestant spray to take, but that's only when I need it. And, as an aside, try saying 'decongestant' when you're congested. It's not easy and is one of those words that really makes it obvious how obvious you are.
Sean is coming down for the weekend tomorrow. He wants to go to some fencing shop or other in Camden. Apparently they do made-to-measure fencing clothes. So, I'm not the only one who has a hobby that involves special clothing...
Being on the office email system, I get more than my fair share of crap sent to me. Occasionally, there is something kind of fun and I got something like that today. It's a silly game. Have fun with it!
