under another sun

Zooming about the house in a tidy up this morning. Lorraine then off to school to pick up a wheelbarrow, and then go to meet her pal Penny for a stroll around some gardens. This gave me the opportunity to do some thinking and planning of my own. Although this is tempting fate, I have a clear plan at the moment. This includes self-publishing the children's book as a kindle thing, having read the highly-practical Going Digital , which has transformed how I think about these things. I am also pushing on with my horror story, Nothing Compares To You. Also finished reading H.P. Lovecraft's Supernatural Horror in Literature , and read  a horror story by E. Nesbit , who wrote the Railway Children , and children's classics like The Phoenix and the Carpet, The Story of the Amulet and  Five Children and It , which I loved as a kid. Turns out she was a dab hand at a bit of horror too. Lorraine home at tea time, and we then started our big garden plan. Part of this demands digging...

The morning did not go to plan as I woke up to migraine spangles in my eye, and a bad head for the rest of the day. This is only the second time I have woken up to a migraine, but at least it means the day can only get better. Not able to look at computer screens or do much with myself this morning, other than listen to American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis in audiobook. Fairly horrible, and the endless listing of all the brands and products the hero encounters somewhat mind-numbing. Sat working in the garden this afternoon. And a good deal better by the evening, and off for a therapeutic walk around the park with Lorraine. Beth back late after aqua aerobics with Laura.
