Hello! Sorry for the lack of posty-posty but work/other writing/keeping my house free of mould and mice seem to have gotten in the way this week. We're all downhill from here to the weekend though so hopefully I'll be able to post more...
So... first of all, ever so sad about Troy Davis. I was actually in tears last night when they issued a stay, but when I woke up I wasn't too surprised to find they'd gone ahead with the execution. A lot has been flying around over Facebook and Twitter about Iraqi teenagers being executed and no-one causing hell on the internet, but Davis' case was one that shocked me to my core, so I'm writing about it. America (especially the state of Georgia) fucked up big time last night, and I hope every person involved, from the guy who gets the lethal injection ready to the increasingly ineffective POTUS, had trouble sleeping.
And on to the next matter of the day: I am cleaning my house! I like to stick to doing it once a year, whether it needs it or not, but as we have guests over the weekend (and after seeing friends of ours' gorgeous home) we decided it was time for a mini-facelift for Number 34. So I am being a crazy bitch with a Hoover and the bleach for the next few days, but expect business - and dirty plates - as usual from about Monday.
Had a fabulous meeting last Sunday for inspiration for my book, with my friend J and her mum, Mama C. Really great to start bouncing my ideas off people and shaping what exactly I want the book to be and contain. I think I've got the very basic framework straight in my head now, but I'll probably storyboard the bare bones of it in the next few weeks. I want to start actually writing now, but I'm doing this and am determined not to cheat.
A successful days' shopping and gallerying was had by all in Margate during the week. The Turner's new Nothing in the World But Youth exhibition was cracking, as was lunch in the Greedy Cow Deli... their salt-beef sarnies are absolutely increds.
Be back tomorrow with news of new clothes and *hopefully* more on the book . . . x
