I’ve a busy weekend and may have no more time to write, so for anyone who cares:
- I’ve run out of money – completely
- I’ve had a magazine article proposal accepted and will get small payment as long as I can get the three interviews it needs organised. My first paid writing for a long long time.
- I was planning at this point to be doing some home tutoring but getting onto the books is like pulling teeth, which has buggered up my financial plans
- I may have some ‘consultancy’ work. (That’s a word that covers a multitude of evils haha)
- I’m taking part in a voluntary paid study – needs must and more on this later
- I’m remarkably calm thanks to keeping a daily routine which involves exercise, and some simple Mindfulness practice
- I wasn’t calm when I got home from shopping today due (amongst other things) to a large Primary school trip in the supermarket and a tiny baby in an enormous buggy on the bus
- I’m listening to an Audible Original: Six Degrees of Assassination. One of the most gripping things I have heard for a long time. Full review when I have finished
- I love Bargain Hunt and Strictly and would happily take part in either if anyone is asking
- I can’t tell you how glad I am that Halloween is over
- Bonfire Night is now like a week of living in a war zone
- I’m locked horns in battle with the cat (that’s not her pictured)
Now, back to the kitchen. I get so tense cooking my shoulders hurt. If I went on Masterchef I think I would collapse.

It is good to hear from you. You are loved, you have a nice home, and things to do. Cats – just want to make sure we are still alive.

If I died in the flat and no one found my body, the cat would eat me.

“…. now back to the kitchen”
What are you making?
I just pulled a homemade strawberry & rhubarb pie from the oven to cool. Chili simmering on the stove. Corn bread and cinnamon rolls to be made in about 3 hours so they are fresh and hot for meal time.
As for the rest. Interesting. What sort of interviews must you do?

Three interviews with people involved with an exhibition in a major London art gallery (impressed?)
As for the cooking I’ve just done Aubergine Parmegiana (or something – layered tomato sauce, grilled aubergine slices, roasted peppers, basil and cheeses). Now I am procrastinating from making Lamb Provencal. I have no job. I must cook…. 🙂
