Bored Now.

Cripes – don’t they use tie-breaks anymore? 69-68 games? How boring is that? The commentary is making me ILL. “how will they cope with the enormity of the situation?” “such a shame someone has to win.” Oh do shut the fuck up. Oh hoorah. it’s finished.

Today Dad lost the car again, but I simply looked where he’d put it last time and bingo, there it was. I do worry about him parking there, not because he loses the car but there’s a possibility he’ll be fined £75 for parking there!  Advised he walks into town in future – it’s not far, quarter of a mile, tops, and he only goes in once a week. Next time I’ll drive him.

“I Knew Him” is at 8500 words and I’m very happy with it so far. It’s probably more of a draft than I’ve done before, I feel I’m painting in the skeleton as it were, and will be doing the details later perhaps. As I write I think “Oh I really should go and and add this, or that.”  I suppose I can tell you it’s set in 1921 in Somerset – no specific reason for the place, but as i said before a law was changed in 1921 which triggers the plot. Also it’s seven years after the outbreak of the Great War which is hugely relevant and those two clues are related.  It’s first person, so I know some people will immediately add it to their “not to buy list.”  I have to say that beginning a novel is the best fun. Remind me of that in November, will you? When I’m tearing my hair out?
