Well, what have I been up to?  We had our AGM at the club on the park where I live.  Was a good evening, and after the meeting we provided cheese and wine, which gives people the chance to chat.  All went well until I reached across to pick up a cheese biscuit at the back of the table and proceeded to knock over a glass of red wine!!!  It went everywhere!  The tablecloth was soaked, also some splashes went on our Chairlady’s trousers! 

Have you ever wanted to run and hide?  Yes, I know!  So I had the job of cleaning up.  Took the cloth home but couldn’t get the stain out.  Left with a dirty brown splodge!  Fortunately the lady whose trousers I may have ruined was ok about it.  As for the cloth, well the next time it is used we will have to put the stained bit at the back and place things strategically!   

The table looked good with the food and wine
Until I got up and went to get mine
I reached across and disaster then struck
Next thing I knew it had all gone amok!

I knocked over a glass which was full of red
Oh dear how I wanted to hide my head
That wine spread around and made such a mess
I was so sorry I have to confess

Poor Eleanor’s trousers, will they come clean?
Maybe they will, it remains to be seen
The cloth is as stained as much as can be
Have to hide the marks so no-one can see

I will certainly be more careful in future!

Met some nice people at the Writers Group I have joined.  It is good to chat with other authors face to face.  Looking forward to the next meet up.

Not much else of note has happened.  Still trying to be industrious on the writing front, but do get sidetracked!

Chat more later, take care everyone.

 
LATEST HAPPENINGS

It’s been a while since I wrote anything on here so thought I had better catch up.

Sorry to say I have been struggling to get much more written for my follow on book.  There is so much to write about it is becoming daunting!  So far I have written about 10 jobs I had and I hadn’t even reached 21!! There are many more to go plus all else that happened!  This is proving much harder than the first which I just sailed through - the words flowed.  Not so with this one so I have decided to shelve it for a while (I can go back later to complete it) and start another, totally different one.  A new genre for me, a Murder Mystery!  My favourite type of book so that should help.  (She says hopefully!)

MURDER AT THE CAR BOOT will probably be the title but that could change.  I have made a good start, setting the scene so to speak.  I am at the stage of introducing the characters and enjoying myself.

I must prioritise my days and get lots of writing done!

So what else have I been up to?  Been busy with the Social Club here where I live, helping with events and keeping the Newsletter going each month.  Also preparing for the AGM which is coming up soon.  Having fun with friends there too.

Meeting with some new people next week at a local writers group.  Looking forward to that.

Crazy things still happen to me!  Yesterday I chucked my bread board out of the window!! Lol  Well I didn’t really chuck it but it did end up outside!  It was like this …… I had been cutting some bread and there were a load of crumbs (it was fresh home made bread) so I thought there are enough to give to the birds.  Being lazy I didn’t bother walking outside but decided to open the window and throw them out.  As you now have guessed, I went to slide them off the board but ended up with the board sailing merrily to the lawn!  Goodness knows what anyone watching thought!

Well that’s it for the moment, got visitors coming today so had better crack on.  Hopefully I won’t leave it so long for the next blog.  Take care everyone.
