Away for the weekend!

I'm away today for a 2 night break on a farm with friends who I went to uni with. It's the only time we meet, and I'm really excited. I'll be back on Monday some time, but don't expect I'll be online until Tuesday.

For those of you in the UK, hope you have a great bank holiday weekend!

For those of you outside the UK, have a good weekend too!

My fudge didn't quite set, so I've shoved it in the freezer for an hour. I hope it works! I just need it solid enough so I can cut it into chunks.

Bye!

(Note I wanted to use a suitcase picture, but I don't understand how Macs work, and I couldn't figure how to save the suitcase picture, let alone put it in this post. Give me Windows any day!)

*Hugs to days off*

Okay, so today was an impromptu day off (thanks to radiator man changing when he was coming). But it was productive.

40 mins of Japanese (in 20 min sessions, where I focused really hard and a lot went in my head).

Several, wonderful hours on TR:A. I finished Peru! Really pleased because I managed to find 2 secrets in the last level. Am fed of up velocoraptors, but hopefully I've seen the last of them. In St Frances' Folly now....and already groaning in memory of the original game. But I've got quite a supply of medipacks, so hopefully I'll survive (well, Lara will....eventually).

Also had several equally wonderful hours of writing. Completed chapter 3, started and finished chapter 4, and started chapter 5 of Termion! Making good headway with the first draft. Very drafty, but there'll be a lot to work with on the first edit. Potentially I may get to chapter 7 today. About to put on a movie, and write :)

Made pesto and pine-nut bread last night in the breadmachine - it ended up a bit doughy. But today it seems to have dried out a bit more, so I'm not too concerned. It's edible, and very tasty.. Might try adding a little less granary, and just a little less pesto (okay, i added nearly 3 tbsp instead of 2...)

My wips! Yes, I said I'd mention them... Um it'll be under separate posts so people can discuss them easily.
