Green Monday

Made a Monday morning list of things to do this morning, and did some of them. Today is blue Monday, but I didn't feel blue at all. Not having to work really helps. 

Longish chat with Mum. She is okay, and her face is less swollen now.

I sent one of my shorter short stories, called The Merger to a new anthology of stories.  I'd not read it properly for a couple of years, and I liked it more than I did before. I also completed a bit of writing for a friend of Richard's called Phil Dunn, sending him a draft of his book blurb. I am not sure how I found myself writing this, but it's done.

Went for a walk. Almost finished with the Inklings now, dealing with Joy Gresham's marriage to Lewes. This seemed to coincide with a coolness for towards Jack Lewes by his mate Tollers. 

Live Canon release their shortlist today. There was a cast of thousands on it. 

Mark Flowers came around and measured our hallway and stairs for our carpet this afternoon. It will be green.
