08:51 No further snow overnight here. Sun out now. We might get snowfalls later 'tho apparently. #uksnow

08:53 Whitechapel was good last night. Loved Rupert Penry-Jones as rather prim, OCDish Detective Inspector. Very cute indeed.

08:54 My email seems to be out of whack again at the mo'. Mails getting lost altogether, arriving days late... It's so bloody frustrating!

08:57 Beginning to think, the amount of cop shows I watch, I should write crime or suspense. But I'm no good on complex plots, alas.

09:20 Jeezum, it's 9.20am and I'm not dressed. What the hell am I playing at? I should be up and clothed and working by now!

10:39 Think I'm going to eat some chocolate coins with my coffee break. I feel like a treat, and I've done my static cycling for the day.

11:01 Just had choc, strong coffee & big gun painkillers. I feel so degenerate! LOL

17:42 Hurrah! Finally started on a new story! I'm writing crap at the moment, but at least I'm writing something...

10:43 Have watched the first bit of Groundhog Day. Must ration myself to watching in coffee breaks & at lunchtime. I need to work! It's great 'tho

11:43 Himself sent home from work! Not recession, thankfully, just a snow day. Other folk can't get in, means he can't do *his* job.

12:09 Flakes still lightly fluttering down here in West Yorkshire. Won't be able to get on with work as I'd hoped with himself home... #uksnow

14:26 Finished watching Groundhog Day... I love that movie! Some places even make my sob a bit, amongst the laughs...

15:33 Feb now, so not likely to need reserve Xmas gifts. Means I can eat the chocolate myself! Started with a couple of chocolate coins. Yum yum!

17:01 Just edited story I wrote a few weeks ago. Seemed surprisingly good! :)

18:04 Wahey, Queen Bella Michelle is back on blogger! www.romancebuythebook.com/

20:57 About to watch 'Whitechapel' - modern serial killer copycating Jack the Ripper... could be a good thriller. :)

It's Groundhog Day!!!!

Today, according to my Harlequin Calendar, is GROUNDHOG DAY!

Groundhog Day is one of my favourite films. So funny, but in it's way, sort of deep too, showing how Bill Murray's character grows and changes throughout the many, many replays of the same wintry day. It's like a journey film too, with that sweet, happy hit at the end where he finally reaches his destination ie. the 3rd of February, after he's been lost in the world of 2nd of February for heaven alone knows how long. You never actually find out how many times Groundhog Day repeats for Phil the cynical weatherman but to learn some of the skills he acquires along the way, it must be hundreds of times, and many years and years in time for him.

I'll be watching the movie myself today, to celebrate...

19:38 It's been a day of brain fuzziness. Hard to concentrate. Hard to string words together.

11:45 Feeling tired & muzzy this am. Despite early night & only one can of beer. Does not compute.

16:10 Despite delish lunch w/Lindsay, have just eaten large piece of cake & some winegums. BeachedWhaledom beckons...

16:13 Will soon be banned from Cafe Revive. Always end up talking about rude stuff with writer friends, making nearby old ladies scared.

18:16 Just had an ebook splurge inc. 'Talk Me Down' and 2 x Megan Harts + some Briefs. :)

18:31 Feel so bloaty over the cake and the wine gums. It was just pure greed.

08:27 Gawd, it's cold this morning. 0 degrees, but feeling like -5 with wind chill. May have to go out to post later, but otherwise, am staying in

08:32 Agh, have woken feeling overwhelmed with 'stuff' to do! And filled with a vague sensation of dread and not being up to various tasks. :(

08:34 Feel very much like lying down again, pulling covers over head & ignoring everything. I'm sure I'll snap out of it later.

11:02 Am having one of those odd days when I feel detached from reality. Sadly, I'm not attached to my fiction either. Just wanna drift...

14:27 On the day I feel most frazzled in ages, I start sorting out accounts, obviously guaranteed to make me more frazzled. I'm a loony.

15:47 No writing stuff today, but finally got some accounts sorting done. All organised into order now. Ready to enter them all up into Money.

15:48 Somebody gave himself a late Christmas cake the other day. Just had a slice... Mm... delicious! :)

15:50 Feeling more cheerful now than I have all day. Must be the sense of achievement and the rich fruit cake goodness... Yum!

15:50 Oh, and Poirot's on the telly too.

15:13 Am feeling a little out of sorts today. Could it have been that extra beer last night, after wine? Poirot made me do it... LOL

16:40 Working out background stuff for story that won't be in it, but which I need to know for it to feel right...

18:57 Feeling v. smiley about something I just heard. :)

10:14 New story, was gonna write in 3rd pov, but it's speaking to me in 1st pov. Should prolly follow this instinct if it feels right, I think.

10:55 Nearly 11am & still not dressed. V. lazy morning, tho' have been thinking about that story. It's starting to 'firm up' in my mind now.

13:50 Enjoying editing a long story. Noted lot of too short paragraphs, creating choppiness. Am blending some together for smoother flow.

14:34 Just finished editing that story. Like it v. much, actually. Prolly a quicker reconciliation than IRL, but hey, it's artistic license... LOL

14:37 What reward can I award myself for finished edit? Alas, only 1 blueberry muffin left in pack, and if I eat it, means himself=1 muffin, me=3

17:31 Feeling a bit weary & under the weather now. Blah... But at least I got some stuff achieved earlier, so day not lost entirely.

17:32 LOL! Cat looking at me over top of laptop... he looks so cute.

18:56 7pm... too early to start on the wine? It's only the 'lite' half strength kind... ;)

19:08 Have wine now + Pom-Bears teddy shaped potato snax

21:22 Watching Poirot. Have become a bit obsessed with him lately. But like the earlier eps with Capt Hastings & Miss Lemon better than later ones
