greetings from Berry

Got up at 6am and hauled my lardy arse out for an hour’s walk. Passed many cows in verdant fields. I love the curiosity of cows. They’re couch potatoes without the couches. Like to watch but rarely make a move.

Writing progress is going much slower than I hoped. For some reason I seem to believe that if I allot a certain segment of time I should be able to sit placidly and extrude thousands of words. I know many others who are capable of this, but I’m not. I just don’t write like that and, on the rare occasion that perhaps I do, it’s pretty much all crap and takes longer to unpick and rework that it would take to write anew.

Today Russell is dragging us off on some sort of geological expedition, then we’ll pop in at Bowral to have lunch with Trudi. She was originally part of the FWOR experience but decamped before I got here, opting instead for solitude and air conditioning. Not that it’s been hot. I brought the rain with me to Berry, haven’t seen hide nor hair of troublesome insects or the possum nightclub that was allegedly making a racket in the roof up my end of the house. The peacocks on the porch are pretty cute though.

Blogging the FWOR experience over here.
