Well, it’s been a busy couple of days. My eBay delvery arrived yesterday, so I’m uncrossing those fingers. Actually, it didn’t quite arrive. I missed it and found a card poked through the door so had to go pick it up, but at least it’s here. And going into town to collect it meant I could take the iBook to the library for a change of scene on the writing front.

It’s years since I’ve tried to work somewhere like that, and now I remember why - it was so noisy! People walking around all over the place. Shelf-stackers pushing around trolleys. Some irritating lecturer guy a football pitch length away have such a loud conversation about the ‘art’ in the corner that everyone around me was tutting and huffing.

(Actually, I joined in with the tutting so I wouldn’t feel left out so I’m being a bit of a hypocrite there).

I was glad when the three hours were over any my package was ready for collection, so I could come back home and work in peace and quiet.

Despite the distractions, though, I broke my record and wrote 7,061 words, which took me well over my target for the week of 25,000. I added another 5,202 to that today for a grand total of 31,520. Suddenly I feel like I’m presenting a telethon.

I just hope I can keep up the momentum and motivation when I go back to work next week and come home tired when I know that writing will be the last thing I want to do.

Oh, and the experimental facial hair came off yesterday, too. I was going to leave it until Monday since I was only growing it for the amusement of the office, but it annoyed me so much it had to go. I didn’t even take a picture of it before I did the deed, so there is no evidence. Still, I did what I promised - grew it for a full two weeks. It looked naff, though. First time and last, I think.

Colchester today. Lots of talk of peace marches in the town on the radio, but nothing around upon arrival. Perhaps becase arrival was about 1.30 but the rally was noon.

Oops.
