No writing for me today. Instead, it was a morning of running around doing chores and cleaning the house.

I had meant to post in yesterday's comments that I actually wrote about 1.400 words for an entry at monthlydiaryday - and then realised it is a group where posts are only visible to members (although I would think more members would be very welcome!).

I discussed the weather, the corona virus's shadow looming over my daughter's wedding and honeymoon in two weeks time, and someone who had turned up in my journal to berate me for being selfish for worrying about that!

Today I have managed to polish up another drabble that follows directly from the one I posted a couple of days ago - it is here (https://tolkien-weekly.livejournal.com/1264108.html) if you are interested.

No writing yesterday. I spent the day cooking and cleaning, and then rewarded myself with several hours of reading:) And we met friends for beers after supper, so I was in no condition to write after we got home. Although I've heard stories of writers who get extra creative after a few drinks, I am not one of those:)

So - after another long day of more cleaning - we are having company tomorrow, and I've just been in the mood to spiff things up around here now that we're seeing signs of Spring after weeks of gloomy winter hanging on to the last gasp - where was I?

Oh yes. Writing. I spent a double writing session this afternoon, so I made up for yesterday's time. The story is a mess, but it's coming along.

I don't think I'll have time to write tomorrow, but I will try to do some at the beginning of the day. Company arrives at noon and stays until well into the evening. A birthday party for our daughter-in-law.

Sunday I definitely will not be around. I'm boarding a bus first thing in the morning to go with a group of friends to see 'Guys and Dolls' in a town two hours away from here. I'm having some anxiety about it because of cautions to avoid being in close contact with people. I will bring a bottle of hand sanitizer and hope for the best.

Not much serious writing, but I did get and scribbled down three possible plot bunny ideas - two involving odd aliens (I had a dream about those adorable plants that look like aliens I mentioned on my journal a few weeks back, and it gave me some thoughts on idea for adorable and evil alien invaders :), another about naming things on new planets and would people fight over it -? One about haunted pressed flowers, and one about chocolate.

Yes, my brain was in a strange place today...

Ps - here's a picture of the plants, click to enlarge....

170 words on the little hill and 375 on General Wade - but I'm more pleased with my progress than the numbers suggest, because I feel like I really have made a start on the second one.

although a disarming act had led some clans to hand over weapons others had not, while those handed in were often old and useless – there was even a suspicion that cheap weapons had been bought in from Holland purely to be handed over for the reward.
