Up, and into town betimes to secure an upgrade for my anti-deluvian phone. I am now the proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy, she of the biggest and brightest screen (good for me, with my eyes) and an 8 megapixel camera which my plan at least is to use increasingly as "my camera". It will be an interesting learning curve, I'm sure.
I seem to be be fizzing with ideas for writing at present. Perhaps some of my previously work-directed energy is now going to helping me write. It's possible. I have pretty much finished reworking the 2 stories I wrote in Amsterdam; until they have been under the eagle of Richard, that is. But I am also doing the framework for a new story which I'm going to call "One Man's Aberfan". Then there's the magnum opus- the "book of my life", which I intend to call "Headlines of my Life". Essentially I see it as 10 5000 word essays each one covering a critical moment in my life. I haven't put a word on paper yet, but it's beginning to take shape in my mind.
My wife and I are both getting excited about our holiday in Normandy the week after next. Today I took the time to find all our destinations in our trusty Michelin Atlas of France. Of course the weather there can be irritatingly like our own, so we'll have to be relaxed about conditions and take a range of clothing suitable for all. It's great to be middle class and well prepared!
