I’ve started working on the plot for my next story. It’s only four chapter’s worth so far but it is a start. I also wrote down some notes for my next Banshee tale at work. They aren’t a lot just a few lines about the concept behind it and the way in which the banshee rises again. I was quite excited with the idea at the time so had to make a note in case I lost it. That happens very easily when you don’t have access to writing material. Even when you do there is always the risk that there isn’t the time when your working. You just have to squeeze a moment if you can to make a note which isn’t easy in a factory setting. Still we have to work is important as it is what pays the bills so we need to bend our penmanship around it and not the other way around.
Looking forward to the rugby tomorrow, Scotland v Italy. It should be a good game and Scotland need to win it or it will be the wooden spoon. The way Italy is playing though they might just steal this game so we have a lot to do.
I still have a little work to do in the kitchen but it isn’t much so shouldn’t take long. Famous last words as the saying goes. Really it is just removing some loose, blown plaster so we can get the council to repair the walls. Taking the artex off the walls brought a lot of the plaster with it, which isn’t really a surprise. It also revealed someone had tried to replaster the walls and did it very badly as well as with the wrong kind. They use a rough one rather than what they should have, finishing plaster. This was also not sealed on top of being the wrong kind. That meant that the artex was even harder to come off but I got there in the end. I suppose who ever did it was thinking the artex would cover it which it did, though if they had use a little more care the job would have looked better. I still would have had to remove the artex though, Magz doesn’t like it and it was a mess.
