It was back to work with a bump today after a nice long weekend (in the UK there’s always a bank holiday the last weekend in August). I’m on the final few days before I head round the far side of the world to see my sister and so I’m frantically crossing things off my to do list which seems to be never ending.  I’m still not entirely sure how I managed to book a trip to the same country worldcon is on at and yet still manage to miss it but there you go. 🙂

I was trying to work out where the summer has gone. In once sense it only seems to have been summer for about five minute but in another it seems to have stretched on for ages. We’ve gotten loads done: redecorated the hall (you’ll have missed that unless you follow me on twitter, apologies); had five different sets of visitors; been to New York*; been back to Wales a couple of times and had the guttering replaced on the back of the house. All while working and writing (or taking pictures in G’s case). It’s been pretty full on.

September is looking pretty busy too with my big trip and my brother’s 30th. That reminds me, today is my sister, E’s, birthday – that’s the one I am going to see very soon and I won’t tell you how old she is because she’s picking me up from the airport and I don’t want to walk. Happy birthday, sis. When we get back I’ve also got to fit in finishing the bathroom and decorating my study and planning the wedding and I suspect that by the time that along with the writing projects are done I’ll be posting about where the year has gone. I’d much rather be busy.

That’s all for now. I must return to the To Do list.

*I never did get round to posting my notes from New York. I may try to post these while I am away.
