Two Posts in One Day

I am beyond excited. I'm fizzing, quietly in my chair.

Speaking is difficult – good thing I’m typing.

I’m visiting England: for 11 days, on my own. 22 April – Monday 5th.

OMG.

*****

And, I have drafted, scene by scene, the first four chapters of my novel.

Oh god, the excitement. I might have to order falafels, tomato salad and babaghanoush to celebrate.

*****

PS. Neice passed her 11+. Hurrah.

Congrats to your niece. My nephew's is later this month.

I'm impressed... you're forging ahead with the writing, unlike lazy unsettled moi. I hope this inspires me to be more productive.

I too can feel you excitement. Great news on all fronts!
