A whirl of activity

Late last night...
Finished the first run through the magic pirate adventure quest novel followingbrownnicky's hugely fast beta read of the first draft and a few of her comments that made me go duh-oh, of course. It didn't change too much, just pinned down mommy-dearest in the grand scheme of things and added one somewhat raunchy scene in which our heroine gets to grips with rival Pirate Gentleman Jim Anderton. (And yest I do mean 'gets to grip with'... though it's coitus very much interruptus... the earth moves too soon - helped by explosives.) Have sent the Beta Two version to bluehairsue since I doubt she'll have started on Beta One (waves to Sue) while on her ski-trip.
There are still things to alter and beef up followingbrownnicky's extremely helpful comments, but I'm going to wait for my other two beta readers before going any further.
Staring this morning...
* Dashed down to Morrison's for ingredients
* Made two huge pots of curry - enough to feed 30 people. One Korma and one Madras. It's my turn to cater for the Quiz Night down at the village hall tonight. Curry in quantity holds no fears for me.
* Made two chocolate wacky cakes (24 portions - for above event)
* Made 12 chocolate cheesecake muffins (as above)
* Did the graphics for a full page, full colour ad in a national music magazine (fiddly and time consuming but rewarding)
* Confirmed four gigs for touring artists
Right, OK... I'm out of time. I'm off down to the village hall now. Hope I get the several gallons of curry there without slopping them over the boot of the car. Post Office elastic bands are my friend. I haven't even given a thought to answering the quiz questions. I think my brain has possibly died of curry. I always join a different quiz team since I'm a floating committee person and can generally be relied upon to get a decent percentage of questions right.
