Tracker bar consumed a nice breeze on the promenade today

I always get a little blue this time of year, when our seasonal work slows down & some of our regular temp employees leave for the summer. but vacation in June & other summer events will distract me soon enough. we also have plenty of maintenance type work, to do, to get ready for our Fall season. won't be long before my August anxiety kicks in & off we go again!

I decided to bring in my washing as it would be highly likely to end up in the next townlands due to wind.

Mild, breezy and grey here chez Casa Reynard.

I am having a plumpitty day today. Self-medicating with hot water bottle and chocolate. But I *have* spent the morning editing some writing. I am trying to marry up new material with some stuff I wrote a while ago, and the older stuff does need a fair bit of work to make it fit. That's the downside of writing some scenes before the plot has been finalized, but sometimes, you just gotta write things down because they're stuck in your head.

This afternoon, I have to take the parental unit out for her to sort a few things. Will be taking a good book.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

I've read the art of writing, is re-writing

That's pretty true tbh, regardless of whether it's a novel (as is this case) or whether it's a lab report, fan fiction, a magazine article, race report, research paper or dissertation. I have done a LOT of writing over the years, and the polishing and refining is often far more head-breaking than getting all the ideas and concepts down in the first place.

I have had one poem published. It was only six lines and I wrote it in about ten seconds flat one day while I stood looking out the window at heavy rain.

All the ones I've spent hours revising, changing and considering every single word keep getting rejected any time I send them to magazines

In American parlance is a hip pocket the one behind your hip or is it a side jacket pocket?
Reason I ask is because just been reading a much hyped book where a character has his hand on a gun in his hip pocket. He fires the gun without taking it out of his pocket and shoots somebody in front of him!

Not very hungry, so just had a couple of slices of hot buttered toast and a pear for luncheon. And two

Poetry's a funny one... Sometimes the words just seem to "fit" somehow, as soon as they pop into your head.

Anyway, offski to play taxi service to the parental unit.

BBL.

Back from Physio. It is a case of wear and tear, getting older and the aggravation of a very old injury to the near side leg. In short she has given me an exercise to strengthen the thigh and calf muscles in my legs. She will also send me some info on orthodontic shoe inserts, and I will see her again in three weeks' time. So good news in a way.

The Clinic is about fifty yards from a Baker. Sadly the man ahead of me in the queue bought the last cresh fream doughnut , so I chose a pain au chocolate instead.

Thank you @classic33 for letting me know I had put this in the wrong thread.

And you edited my post leaving no mark.

And you edited my post leaving no mark.

I think I have now amended that by undeleting my original and putting a sensible explanation. Sorry about that @classic33.
