I have 4 days of writing, really, before my dissertation is due (11-September). Until it’s wrapped up, most of my time is spent sitting at the computer, reading & writing, or walking about the house, thinking. A precious little bit has been dedicated to baking – and that’s primarily because I’m the one who knows how to wedge things properly so that the oven seals shut. Yes, ladies and gentlemen: our estate agent still hasn’t fixed our oven. And we haven’t “chased them up” to find out why they’ve neglected us so – primarily because we’re both working under deadlines.
Next Thursday, the pressure ends for me (T still has to finish her rewrite of a whole novel). Then it’s just work for all of two days, and it all starts over again, only this time it’s for a PhD, which means I’ll be reading & writing like this … pretty much for the next three years. On the other hand, the deadline is three years away, so that’s a definite bonus.
Now, after having spent the day considering moral philosophy, it’s off to bed to read some Terry Pratchett!

I thought it was the dryer door that didn’t close!
Happy writing to both of you.
Unfortunately it’s both. This one looks like they sat on it or something. The laundry has now been fixed, though, so … one small step at a time. I think that at the rate they fix things there will be other things broken, resulting in nothing ever being 100% right!
Good luck to you with all of your wordy things.
And good work on being creative with foot stools and various other things. I hope that it is fixed soon.
Well, you, at least, have weather that is good for baking, even if no time to bake. That is a bit like the problem of one thing being fixed but another gets broken. Good writing on the dissertation and T’s book rewrite. You are a wonderful pair! Bread will be baked soon I’m sure.
Here’s wishing you both every success.
The dissertation is excellent.
It has been a pleasure to read.
Many thanks.
