Finding My Words

Marvellous Monday

We are on holiday in our family this week, not the exotic, lets travel somewhere warm kind of holiday, just the lets stay at home and relax kind.  So far we have managed to do just that, relax on the sofa with some senseless tv or some chilled out music playing along, catching up on family stuff. It's not a bad gig really, once in a while.





This has however given me time to get stuck into a new book.  I am currently reading 'The Woman In White', it's one of my 'read 25 new books in 2015' challenge on Goodreads.com.  I'm trying to fill that challenge with books from the 19th and early 20th century as they aren't something I usually read for relaxation, I find it takes a while to get my head around the shift in style and language.  There are some beautifully descriptive passages in this book, but I struggle to stay with the storyline.  I'm determined though, it's good for my education lol.





Apparently last nights marathon book listing was too much for my poor laptop and this morning it was grinding towards a serious collapse.  I took the brave step of doing a complete factory reset; emptied all my important files onto an external drive and just blitzed it, cleaned the screen and the keyboard too.  It looks all new and shiny now apart from the irritating mouse pad which has lost it's right click.





I have set myself another challenge for this week despite the holidays and that is to write a set of character profiles as an exercise.  I have never done this before, so it will be a fun challenge and something to sdd to my tool kit.


Happy days.
