Also awake. Having some cornflakes before my day takes off... I have to take my mother to a hospital appointment and then I think she wants to go shopping or something of the ilk.
Wouldn't mind getting some writing done myself, I have a few ideas for the Challenge, but I really don't want to be the one who follows ScuttleButtin, his entry was epic.
Are you writing for the Challenge?
I agree that SB's entry was really really good, but that's no reason not to write your own. SB writes what's in his head and he has talent, but so do you. write the story you have in your head and then link it to the trigger pic. Think of how much of SB's entry was actually about the book or the picnic basket. Learn from the master - Which he pretty much is...
Apologies for going into Blokey unwanted advice mode. I'll channel Dobby in a moment and iron my hands
As for mine - I have a four part story on the main site that's missing part four. I managed to het about three sentences down last night - which was a major leap forward - But it's like wading through waist-deep treacle. I wouldn't care, but the bit I'm stuck on is the sex scene that sets up the pillow talk that's pretty much the point of the story. Thing is I know what I want to happen. Ah well - if I keep putting a sentence down at a time I'll eventually finish it...
Hope the Hospital apt goes well. Don't really know what to say about that. Anyway I hope you have a great time shopping afterwards.

Never apologise for giving advice. It's a thing that comes from the heart, and that's always good.
And it wasn't unwanted. The hospital appt isn't for anything serious, touches wood , just routine stuff.
Ooh, and your story... You should totally put the link in here so I can go and read it whenever I get a few moments to do so. I always love reading other people's stories. I don't RP anymore on Lit, I do it privately with my Mister. It always felt weird writing sex stuff with other people when it wasn't him, and when it got to the point where I felt guilty about it, I stopped for my own peace of mind. But I still read. And I love the RPs we have going at the minute. It brings out my inner geek, and she's kind of fun.
grins
Anyway, it's raining here today, I'm a little disheartened that I won't get out to plant my plants, as it is pretty crappy doing that in the rain. I might have to stay in and read instead, or find ways to put this weekend in...
Twelve days to go! We're officially out of the 'teen' days... God I'm getting more excited now, if that's even possible!!
Sorry for all the random thoughts!!
Well - This is the link - It got decent scores so I guess some people liked it, but I confess I'm a bit insecure about the quality of my writing when I read the stuff that you and Des' and Brit et. al. write. Don't think I've read anything from Starry yet, but I guess that's about to change.
Anyway I think I'll unplug the internet and see how much I can do...
By the way - [To anyone who wanders by] A couple of weeks ago the idea of some musical collaboration was mooted - Anyone still think it's a good idea?

Well - We'll see how you feel by the end of chapter 2.....
On the plus side I have managed to get somewhere with Ch4 - Not very far, but still more than I do on most days...

Hnnn, you might not get to (not for this contest, anyway). I've still got a couple of hours, but have a hospital appointment myself in a bit. -sigh- We'll see. Why I always insist on leaving things to the last minute, I just don't know.
Yes I do think it's a good idea! (I have yet to pick up my violin to try out Kansas, hopefully I'll get to soon, I haven't forgot

Well - I'd like to test the idea. can you think of a piece that you'd like to do? the whole point of putting up the [ropey] guitar line was to get a quick result to test the idea. Also patience is something I have yet to acquire....

flops down on a bean bag
Oh lord, my kidneys... Started feeling sick about an hour ago, have been battling nausea ever since, and now the horrible pain in my kidneys.
whimpers
I swear, mine suck.

You never know - you might end up with one of mine
Seriously though - sorry to hear that - I'm guessing everyone and his dog has mentioned cranberry juice.
my ex had a nasty time with a recurring kidney infection in the latter days of her pregnancy. She really suffered with it. Hope yours start behaving themselves soon

You and me both. I'm pretty prone to kidney problems for some reason. Which is strange, I often get rather anaemic, maybe they have to work extra hard or something. I dunno. Anyway, have a heat pad nestled against my back now and am wrapped up warm. Stupid cold weather can just go away...
I loved your story by the way! It was really well written, I liked the characters. I think chapter one was my favourite. You really know your stuff about climbing and the like. It was really interesting.
Thank you - I'm flattered. I know the Ben well enough. I'm not sure if I'll ever see it again though. On a bad day I can barely make it across the room which kind of sucks because I really wasn't ready to end my climbing career. I'd far rather give up sex, although I seem to have done that too
Anyway, I hope the heat pad does its biz. and this is the last thing to trouble you until your beloved says goodbye...

I'm sure it will be. I just don't like taking painkillers or anything when my kidneys get sore. I think it might have been the coffee I had earlier that's brought this on, not to mention I ate a crapload of peanuts last night... Eugh. A nice warm bath might do the trick too, will get on that later.
Yeah - there's very little in life that can't be made better with a nice hot bath....

Indeed. And thank god something, whether it's the little pillow, all the water and cranberry juice, the pain is finally starting to subside.
breathes a pretty tired sigh of relief

Bert, you just made me think of this lovely song. It's been ages since I listened to it: he wrote it after not being able to accompany his family on a climb, and feeling a shiver of mortality.
'The last time I climbed Suilven, or to be more precise, failed to climb it, was in my seventy-second year. I was with my wife and fourteen-year-old daughter Kitty. "You go ahead," I told them, "I'll meet you at the top." But 'the flesh is bruckle, the fiend is slee', and I hadn't gone more than half the distance when my legs refused to carry me further. My body had given me plenty of warnings over the last seven or eight years but this was the final notice. My mountain days were over.'

You are quite right that Ms Serpentine and Britwitch are brilliant, but I don't think I've posted anything yet! Is this flattery, or are you spying on my study? (I'm delighted either way, of course.)

I love the fact that even your sighs are pretty...
It is a lovely song. Thanks for the link. As for your writing, the way you put words together makes me rather envious. That's about it. I've always enjoyed messing about with words, but for some reason I've always seemed to arrange my life so's the things I love the most, I do the least. *shrugs*
I got a letter yesterday with some appointments. I get my kidneys tested on the 21st, but included in the stuff they sent me was a blood test request - for fasting blood sugar so I have to not eat for twelve hours - I thought I'd get it out of the way and do it today, but saying no to food isn't my strong suit. Also I thought the letter said it was ok to drink - but what it really said was it's ok to drink water, and I read that just before midnight with a cup of coffee in my hand
Anyway, my point is I'm hungry

Why don't you do it overnight? Like, start fasting at 9pm tonight?
Also... Good morning.
Morning gorgeous!
That was more or less the exact plan, but I didn't pay attention to the letter. So my twelve hours are up at midday instead of two hours ago.
To tell you the truth I could do with some practice dealing with hunger. I'm getting rather heavy these days.
How many days now? 11 is it?
