Sunday
I used to hate Sundays. Sunday was the day that;
- i had to go to mass even though i didn't believe a word of it
- my parents fell asleep on the couch after Sunday lunch and snored!
- we had to visit ancient relatives who smelled funny and slobbered on your cheek
- i had to do finish my homework and prepare myself for another week of school
Now Sundays are much better!
- sometimes I go for a nice walk on the beach
- or I visit friends
- i get my marking and planning done for the week ahead
- i check the kids have done their homework
- still have to wash uniforms, clean house, and fret about how much I haven't written BUT will NEVER fall asleep on the couch after Sunday dinner and that's a promise!
And the eagle eyes amongst you will see that my word count has budged. Not a lot. But it has budged!

Hey, a budging word count is good... well done :)
My favourite simile used to be 'As depressing as Radio2 on a wet Sunday afternoon.' Sundays are great when you know that you don't have work the next day! Probably says more about my work ethic than anything else.
thanks jen... still a way to go but better than the zilch of the last few weeks!
jon - i think it was school i hated - i loved working sundays in covent garden ;-)
Yep, I'm counting by the word, not by the thousand words! Good to see it nudging, and I will get onto the other thing, I promise.

hello.... found your blog somehow along my convoluted blog travels. so Hello from another writer...and hope you don't mind if I check in here now and again. And, yes, a budging word meter is better than a completely stagnant one!
jj - no rush :)
rebecca - lovely that you stopped by and of course you can check in whenever you like - just don't expect any miracles when it comes to the old word count LOL!
Budging word count is great!
