I should be writing a daily slice for SOLC March, where bloggers are increasing their weekly slices to daily entries.
I haven’t spent much time on the internet this week so my slice covers the past 6 days.
I spent all of Monday completing paperwork for solicitors (I have sold my apartment) on Tuesday I had work and after that I collated the remaining paperwork and completed my 3 forms. I had a free evening and hoped to get some writing done, but I was too tired to be inspired.
Wednesday after work I drove over to the solicitors to drop all my paperwork in and make sure they had everything they needed. Now keeping my fingers crossed that the sale will go through smoothly and quickly!
I also popped in on family on my way home and spent the evening attempting to write and catch up with some TV programmes. I also had to sort out a costume for World Book Day, the theme was fairytales but I had been told people were dressing as fairies.
In the end on Thursday I just about made it to work on time – turns out dressing as a Flower Fairy with flowers and stars in your hair takes time!
After work I went into the city to a Spoken Word event at The Ort, where I performed a set of 3 poems and watched some great acts including The Night Watch – a duo currently on tour, who play medieval music!
I had work on Friday, but it was cancelled – in the end I slept until Midday, was very tired, managed to get some writing done before appointments in the afternoon.
Mr G and I spent some time in the garden, he replanted all the strawberry plants in the new tower we bought last year.
I spent the evening writing. I had 2 poems to submit to an anthology – a charity project to help support the Born Free Foundation. I managed to submit them before midnight.
Saturday we went to see my Mum for coffee and give her the mask I had bought, then we went to the Garden Centre for compost and plant tunnels. We spent more time in the garden and had Mr G’s godchildren round.
In the evening it was my cousin’s 30th Birthday Party – a masked ball theme. It was a great party and lovely to see the family again.
Unfortunately, I stayed up too late last night and today – Sunday, I woke up just in time to get into the city for Poets with Passion – a spoken word event which took place in a Moroccan restaurant.
It has been a good and busy week.
And my new Writing Magazine was delivered, I managed to read some articles and the opportunity pages, I am still reading the February issue.
I have also enjoyed some time reading this week too. Have a pile of books awaiting reading.
I shook my head and giggled reading this slice of your week, Nina. Not because it was funny, but because I think we all live it and you describe it in a way we can all relate. Being honest and saying, “You know what – I’m tired,” is the blessed truth to why it’s hard to get writing done, isn’t it? Can you blame us? Look what we try to pack into a day!
I’m going to do a little exploring on your page now – looks like some gold nuggets in there! 🙂

Hope you enjoyed a bit of a snoop around the fountain, days are certainly action packed around here. Seems we have to be careful what we wish for! I wouldn’t have it any other way!
I love how your long list of things you did all week said “writing” many times. Your list shows how important writing is to you! Keep it going!
Thanks Sally- since 2013 Writing is what I do, it is what the blogs main focus is. If my lists don’t involve writing – I am in trouble! 😉
Yikes! You are one busy super woman! I’m totally impressed by your list. I love Poets with Passion! Sounds intriguing especially at a Moroccan restaurant…yum.
Thanks, it was a great event – I have drafted copy and hope to blog about the weekend event soon – I will link to this post.
