You will have to
forgive my bouts of invisibility – I’ve been doing the family thing and the
general, dull admin parts of life as well as that most important ‘thinking’
thing in which I made several decisions, none of which are ready for discussion
as yet. There has also been last minute holiday shopping because – can you believe
it? – the autumn clothes are already in the shops. Mind you, looking out at the
cloudy sky this morning perhaps I can believe it.
The start of
this week I was out of action, away for a couple of days and witnessing some
very dear friends speak their vows to each other in a beautiful, intimate and
very emotional wedding. After eight years they remain as affectionate towards
one another as they did when I first met them back at university and I am
thrilled for them and feel extremely privileged to have been there.
Anyway, post-wedding
it was an extremely busy week. My inbox is out of control, I have photos to
download and share, under-the-bed adventures are needed to retrieve a suitcase
and stash some books away – let’s just say my ‘to do’ list is looking more than
a little frightening, plus, and more excitingly, I’ve got material for the
British Fantasy Awards Independent Press category here ready for scrutiny as I
once again sit on the jury panel.
Someone once
said ‘so much to do, so little time’ and that is very much the way I am feeling
and the way my life is going at the moment, but better that than boredom, I
would suggest, and so I shall press on. One thing at a time, my dear. One thing
at a time
