Feb 16th
I wasn't going to walk today, what with storm Dennis and all, but I couldn't bear being indoors all day so I went off into the wild wind and managed to miss all the rain, yay.
I'm going to keep writing now though I don't yet know what I'm going to say - oh yes, the writing retreat is this week, Thursday, and I'm going to have to get myself ready and not let myself get too agitated about it, simultaneously. I need to make sure I have clean clothes - this must seem like stating the bleeding obvious, but I really do live so much in the present that I'm quite capable of arriving at Thursday morning to discover no clean knickers or anything else. This isn't as bad as packing for Glastonbury where you're out in the weather for ten days of British summer so have too many fucking alternatives to try and address, not helped by me being the biggest one there so unable to borrow anything. And my car will be parked right outside, not up and down hills three fields away, so I can take all my fucking footwear, avoiding another breakdown over that.
God knows what I'll do while I'm there. I can't imagine it. I was assuming I'd walk a lot as the countryside is lovely round there and the coast isn't that far. I could do a beach clean on a proper sandy beach. But it's predicted to rain heavily all the fucking time so maybe not, though I do have my fab coat and wellies... I wish I had it in me to stay in bed for three days and have all my meals brought to me in my room - just checked on the website and reviews - this is very much an option.
Bed now though. xxx
