Monday – a day of catching up on things after the weekend. My desk is littered with papers – Correspondence that needs attending to. Notes I’ve made to myself over the weekend. I tend to think of snippets of conversation for my book – it might be something towards the end even – but I scribble them down as they come to me and pop them on my desk. Sometimes I use them, sometimes I don’t. But it does prove one thing – that the book I’m writing is never out of my mind, even subconsciously.
Now – before I begin work for the day I need to make phone calls, write a couple of birthday cards – in fact I have to make them first. I have an excellent card programme on my computer and always make my own cards – some from stock images, some from my own paintings. I can see it getting towards lunchtime before I even begin work.
Does anyone else have manic Mondays?
Manic Monday
Foto Friday
I love this photo. It’s of a little village we found in Wales last year, and what I like most about it is the different colours of the cottages. There’s certainly nothing dreary about this place even if it’s raining.
Resolutions
Last year I made a New Year’s resolution to blog three times a week – and on the whole I have kept to it. A few lapses here and there but not too many. There has always been a reason like a holiday or something happening at home. So I’m making the same resolution this year.
I don’t know whether you’ve gathered from my blog that I’m basically a very shy person who isn’t comfortable sharing her life with strangers. Margaret Mayo who writes books is very different to the Margaret Mayo who has been married for over fifty years and still loves her husband very much. Margaret Mayo the writer is the inner me, whose mind knows no bounds, who is creative and articulate My outer layer is calm and serene and I’m not a very good talker.
Goodness knows why I’m telling you this but I couldn’t think of anything else to blog about – so I’m baring my soul. But thinking about it made me wonder whether most people have two sides to them. I guess they have.
Do tell me yours.
