Just back from the village hall and possibly our most successful Quiz Night ever with about sixty people there (including kids). I thought we were going to run out of food - but we didn't, however out of everything i took I only brought 2 choc. cheesecake muffin things back.

Didn't win the quiz, though. It was sport-heavy and I'm rubbish at sport. My answer is always Terry Venables on the understanding that one day I'll get it right. Unfortunately the only time Terry Venables was the correct answer I put something different...

brownnicky thinks I'm on extra strong coffee already so i hardly dare say I forgot to to include something in my list of things done today... I stripped the wallpaper in the bathroom this afternoon between making the cakes and getting the gigs.
:-)
That sounds totally super-mumish, but in fact the wallpaper was only holding on by willpower, so it took about five minutes. All I had to do was grab a corner and pull. I've been dying to do it for ages. I figure that now I've stripped the paper off, Best Beloved may do as he has promised and finish the boxing-in around the bath and the shower and we might actually decorate in there. (Lord knows, it needs it!)

I was planning to crash and burn for the weekend, but I just remembered I have a board meeting tomorrow for FolkWISE - a voluntary thing I do for folk performers. I am legally a board director and company secretary. It's not much hassle, but right now it's one hassle too many. Though I'll stay on the board I want to shuffle the comp. sec. job off to someone else.

Please don't be in awe; there are limits and I'm pushing mine closer to the edge all the time.

Well don't make yourself sick. I can do crazy work for a short time but then I tend to get run down and the older I get the quicker it happens.

But then I' a wimp : )

I've had a very quiet kind of 'can't get going' day to day. Swings and roundabouts.

I've done a bit of revision on an older novel and that's it. I may bake a couple of cakes ready for thew influx of visitors tomorrow, but that's not difficult - just a quick weigh and measure-fest and a thirty second whizz with a mixer.
