Had a lovely evening last night, out for a meal with work colleagues to celebrate the beginning of Easter. I felt comfortable and ended up staying for nearly 3 hours!
It was great coming home, emptying the boot of bags and bags and not having to cook when I got in.
It’s all about the small things!
Today I am in holiday mode. I relaxed last night and started on the writing schedule before bed. This morning I treated myself to my refillable-not-acosta-coffee-cup- (they may be called Polar cups – mine featured heavily at the beginning of this blog – Backwaters to January if you’re interested) and special coffee mmmmmm mmmmmmmmm!
I planned to boot the laptop up and get on with writing…
but there wasn’t time. I had planned to go and see my mum. For a while she was trying to book tickets for Symphony Hall as my Easter treat – but we decided we didn’t want to rush about and they only had expensive seats left. We cooked a stir fry lunch together instead and caught up!
I FINALLY posted a letter written for a dear friend that has now been in my car for 4 days, I was meaning to post it and then kept driving past the post boxes.
No excuse now I am a lady of leisure.
When work gets busy the 1st people I don’t get to see are my family, which is foolish as they (along with Mr G) are the only ones who can pull me through the tough times! I enjoyed my time with Mum. I then went and braved the Good Friday Supermarket! Purchasing just Easter bits and gifts. I saw two friends in there too – was nice to catch up over our shopping trollies!
I had designated today as my writing day. It is now nearly half past 5! I guess tonight will be my writing time, I have several submissions to complete edits on and send.
I need to make a few submissions today.
I have received confirmation emails for a writing workshop I am booked on for April (and then was invited on a skiing holiday! Typical!) and had my first camp email too. (I joined NaNoWriMo April Camp – see this post https://awritersfountain.wordpress.com/2013/03/18/im-going-camping/ – it’s not too late for you to join too!) I’m doing it in the hope of producing half a book manuscript.
I put this on the backburner in February and owe it lots of word count!
I am also making a few holiday plans to keep my happiness ticking over. I hope you all enjoy your Easter weekends too.
I look forward to reading all about them.
Happy Easter Slice

Wow…sounds like you have busy times coming for your time of leisure. I hope you have a great Easter break…get to see friends and spend time with family….and get time to write. You have a busy month ahead. Jackie http://familytrove.blogspot.com/
Thanks Jackie – the busy times are one of the reasons I have joined April’s NaNoWriMo camp – a first timer – will see if it works to make up time on the manuscript.
I will make down time too! Before we know it we will be back at work!
It is all about the small things. All of these small things built up to a very busy day for your, plus it sounds like it was an enjoyable one at that. It’s great to be able to sit back and enjoy a holiday weekend.
True. I had a slow start to the day and some of it was planned and other parts just happened, good to be busy – equally happy I have time to relax. And unlike last year, I won’t have to go anywhere near a shop on Easter Sunday!
I scooted to the market for three things and found it pleasantly empty. I was in and out in no time. Enjoy reading your posts and the teeny differences in vocab make it more fun. I find the commenting equally frustrating- the technical part of it- when posting to something other than wordpress.
The Supermarket was not as busy as I expected, I think at 4:30pm I’d missed the rush!
I’m glad you have enjoyed reading the slices. Feel free to have a splash around in the waters of the fountain, there’s plenty here.
I am glad that it isn’t just me struggling with the blogspot comments. I think I may need to update my browser or something, it never accepts my wordpress address.
