Monday was writers and I took the poem I had taken two weeks ago because I had done quite a bit of work on it. This time they felt that it was getting closer to finished and I don’t think I will need to take it back again. I am not sure whether I will manage to get something written up this week, but we shall see. While on writing I have found out there are books about writing writing faction so I have ordered one and I will see if it will provide me with any further good advice for writing my thesis.
However with the business of the week meant that Thursday which I had officially as a day working at home I awoke with a migraine, well I knew I was going down with one on Wednesday evening when I started craving ginger and feeling very very tired. I assumed that like the one or two immediately prior migraines that if I slept for an extra hour or so I would be fine, and as I was working at home this was workable around. However it was a full scale one, the morning was a washout though I did get up about 11:00 and the afternoon only really started working about 4:00 p.m. so I ended up just doing the stuff I had to do for work. The migraine had an after effect so I felt off colour both on Friday and Saturday morning but after naps on both days recovered enough to cope. On Friday I suppose I should admit to also having the unorthodox lunch of chocolate brownie, pineapple and ginger beer. These are actually the things I crave when I am semi-migrainey. The ginger beer makes sense but the rest does not although I have long known if I am to function with a migraine strong coffee, pain killers and ginger beer make a pretty good combination. I will only do that however if essential as it will delay rather than cure a migraine.
Also on Thursday my freezer decided it was time I defrosted it. It is a hard working machine and has been working now for around thirty years. My grandparents bought it back before I went to University to store bread in, in case they could not get to the shops one week. My sister inherited and then I did. The ice was such that the door was not closing properly. However having defrosted completely, it looks as if everything is back to working properly.
Friday morning Cliff came to the breakfast and then we installed metal boxes for the sound system. The Oratorio Chorus had managed to break a second plastic one, so we are seeing if the metal ones will last longer. The question is whether they will break the box or manage to work the screws out of the dais with the weight they put on the boxes. James had managed to send me the proof reading of the chapter on location, so I edited that up during the day. That evening I had a good night out at the Dickson’s, I can’t remember anything in particular coming up but it was a pleasant evening.
Saturday was spent on doing bits a pieces for thesis, sending off papers for supervision, starting the next chapter, and trying to plot it out. I am making slow progress with it. I think I have sorted out what the theory is, I am going to have to revise some of it but it is revise not think through for the first time. I also have found a way of keeping my self aware of who is in each scene. I need to rewrite the current scene to put someone in who is missing.
Today went to church this morning. Sarah was on form, the only snag was that Junior Church over estimated the time it would take for Sarah to get to the distribution of daffodils so it had us waiting while Elizabeth went to fetch them. There seems to be regularly about two to three primary school and younger children in junior church, I do not think it is always the same children.
