Why is it that what you planned yesterday, to do today, has to be re-planned in the first hour of today?
Editors send me the edited version of Chapter 12 at 01:40 local time. Ok, will look at it and post in the morning. Sweetie and Sister-in-law off to work. Dogs fed. Cat fed. Stray Cats outside fed. Now I can get coffee and do what needs to be done.
07:00 Frantic cell call from Sweetie! What's going on on the roads. We're stuck. Look at the "WhatsApp" group. O S#T! TAXI STRIKE. Taxi's blocking ALL roads into the City. Ok, action plan: Get Sweetie to divert via N1 Highway back home. They arrive 40 minutes later. Thank God. So Coffee all round, waiting on news. 09:00 Roads cleared. Sweetie and Sister-In-Law back on their way to work.
NOW. Get the stuff going for Oxtail stew for tonight. (It takes four hours to cook!) Slicing onions and my thumb get in the way of my chef's knife!
OKAY.... All well again, but its now 10:53 and I just posted Chapter 12 for moderation. Might be available at about 17:00 local time. (I am +2 hours GMT. 10:00 by me, 08:00 in London.)
So! "YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT TO US. PLEASE BE PATIENT. Beep... YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT TO US. PLEASE BE PATIENT. Beep...
Bye 4 Now!
