March 20th

March 20th is suddenly upon me. Why is that important? It’s not, but today is one of those days when I woke up and thought I had nothing to do but edit my book. Then, I realised I’ve also got to do a piece of writing for someone else, plus this blog, my Jackson Marsh blog, and a newsletter, because I have another book appearing in a promotion starting today. Then, I also have to check some more chapters of the next book, arrange the layout files ready to send, buy boat tickets for Friday, transfer some money from my ever-dwindling savings account, go for a walk, and, later, play the piano. A day to keep me busy, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Oh, if Neil goes to the gym, I’ll also have to cook lunch. On top of that, I promised my piano student that I would work for 20 minutes per day on one piece (as I have asked him to do this week) as a challenge, so I’ve got to find time to fit in some Mozart.

A good job, then, that it’s a lovely weather day and I can at least share the view with you even if I don’t have time to share much else.
