contact 5 March 2010
The dongle went a bit slow, then nuts again, then I gave up on it hence the lack of contact. Mind you I did have that sweaty moment this morning when i saw that I had managed to be on the internet at some stage last night and I sweated that I might have blogged then couldn’t check whether I had cos of the dongle situation kicking in. And I have managed to do some foxy blogging while under the influence in the past. (Not this time though). Here’s why I was worried – I was drunk last night, my friends…quite, quite drunk. Not unusual, I hear you cry, but was there a reason, Pauline, an occasion mayhap? Well, yes, there was and a darn good one too. THE BOOK IS DELIVERED. There, I’ve said it. And wow am I one relieved author. I had the great pleasure of drawing a line through the number one thing on my To Do list which is ‘Write Book’. It will be quickly replaced by ‘Rewrite Book’ but not for a few days. SO I thought it best to lure my sister-in-law Rebecca into town and lead her astray through the medium of wine and pink fizz. We had a great time and felt very ‘London’. We are both suffering today but somewhat unrepentant also, it must be admitted. I am presently having a ‘cure’ in Heathrow and feel even more of this lack of repentance coursing through me yet again. Along with massive relief. I really did have to work very very hard to get the novel done and can only hope now that I have pulled it off (or at least have something that can be worked on and off). And I feel a bit washed out now. HOORAY though – HOORAY!
