This week has been a busy one so far. I'm off work at the moment and luxuriating in it.
Tomorrow I have my car MOT'd. For readers outside the UK, that means it's basically being checked to make sure it doesn't fall to bits on the road, which is useful. In the Channel Islands, where my sister lives, there's no MOT. Motorists have been known to abandon old cars by the side of the road if they break down for the last time.
I've a book I'm working on, and that's taking quite a bit of my day and a lot of my thought. It's now routine to eat meals and watch TV with a laptop on the table in front of me, looking at me with an accusing glare. I'm not quite on my own schedule of where I want it to be, but the thing seems to be making some kind of progress. So far, so good.
I'm still thinking of what to do with my house. Stay in it, maybe have a tidy up? Clean some of the piles of crap I have? Put all my CDs in one place, not have them float around in their own surreal orbit?
I bumped into an old friend today, a writer. He's been trickling along quite happily and it was good to see him. He's much happier than when I last saw him, the poor feller was a nervous wreck then. Now he's a lot more his old self, and I couldn't be happier. He has a couple of books due out soon, which I'll be happy to plug here.
Tomorrow I'm meeting up with a relative for lunch, while the folks at Toyota have a squint at my engine to see if the damn thing's going to fall out or explode.

As long as the car doesn't accelerate into a wall, you should be okay!
I'm always glad to get the MOT over and done with - I hope your car (and your bank balance) survived.
wow!
