The new mobile – she works! FINALLY! I have a new stupid number that I’ll never remember, which is irritating in the extreme because the Orange number I had was wonderful, being very repetitive and easy to recall. This one is like Pi. Only not filled with banoffee. Talking of which I had the most gorgeous banoffee pie on Sunday. We can has music, radio, phone, photos, dictaphone and other stuffs. I don’t need the 4g bells and whistles.

Tomorrow I plan to take a few pictures of my commute. You will feel sorry for me. Here’s an example: Oh the horror!

Today I had to slow down while a pheasant meandered across the road. Actually, yesterday, it was rather scary as another one did exactly that, and I was unable to slow up or swerve so I had to just grit my teeth and hit him. Luckily he managed to jump back onto the grass verge, though.

Now that Last Gasp is out there and being bought - Chris Smith is amusing me by going through exactly what I went through the first time I published anything. I released a short story into the world and then (being used to fanfic) I sat there for the next day waiting for feedback – which of course didn’t come!! And when Standish came out, I must have visited Amazon’s best seller pages a bazillion times in the first six months watching each rise and fall with corresponding jubilation or disappointment. It’s only natural but thank god – after a few *coughyearscough* I’ve cured myself of that.

Lucius is not here for dinner. Let’s hope he’s not doing his disappearing act again, just because i’m out of the house 5 days a week. Gah.
