The Author's Bureau

Happy Monday to y'all. (sorry, I am not giving you Bez!)

Managed to write five thousand (yes, five-thou-SAND) words by the sea, sitting on a dyke/ tide-breaker thing swinging my legs over the edge like a little child with Mabel on my lap typing away. I had a 'whale' of a time…. I'll post some images when my iPhone decides to synchronise with iCloud and iMabel…..

Two (well three) things I forgot to mention earlier:

1. I had a lovely, unexpected conversation with a distant friend (200 miles away) who confirmed that she had been reunited with her partner after he had been away for a considerable period of time, realised the spark was not there anymore for either of them and both ended it maturely. No drama. No accusations. Same hurt. But it was handled by both parties impeccably. It is a credit to them, and I hope they both move on with their lives enjoying the good memories and building more, either individually or in a new relationship. It also represents the very first time I have witnessed a 'conscious uncoupling'. I suppose this is what GP meant on her blog. I have had to be 'consciously uncoupled' from the snooker tonight. I love it when the World Championships at the Crucible reaches the business end. I'm backing Selby, but I'm sure my expressed prediction will ensure he now loses against Alan McManus in the next round. Kiss of death.

2. I realised I had not commented on yesterday's rugger. At least I was pretty spot on there. Wilko's masterful boot scored all 24 points for Toulon. So they will defend their title against Saracens at the Millennium Stadium. Got my ticket - can't wait! Will need to ensure I double my word count the day before.


3. And finally….. Good Morning Britain was resurrected like a phoenix today for the first time since 1992. Anne and Nick have had a make-over, and now inhabit the very toned bodies of Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard respectively. I have to confess that I avoid breakfast tv as if it was a contagious disease, but I did peruse the write-ups. Apparently we owe a great deal to our American brethren for the set style/ format/ primary colours of women etc. On another note, a teacher was stabbed to death in a school in Leeds. I do hope this is not a trend we adopt from America too.

A demain,

MJ xx
