Hellllllloooooo summer!
Apr. 25th, 2004 10:55 amGorgeous weather. Hot, but not mind-bogglingly melting hot. Am pleasantly cool in pedal pushers and sleeveless top, so all is good. Was tempted to start my summer routine and have ice-cream for breakfast but we have no mint-choc chip and I decided it'd be pushing it slightly to start acting like it's proper summer in April. Still, must stock up on ice-cream over the next few weeks.
Drove up to Dolgellu (further up in North Wales towards Snowdon and Cader Idris) yesterday with mother to test the walking boots some more. We did the Torrent Walk which as always was utterly beautiful. Then went to our favourite pub for a drink, stopped by the caravan site to see some friends and drove home again. Weather was gorgeous all day, so it was good. Starting to warm to this whole concept of 'exercise' through walking. Must join rambling group or something.
I spent two and a half hours ficcing last night, eventually stopping myself at around half ten to take a long, hard look at the 2000+ words I'd written and decided it was crap and going in entirely in the wrong direction. So, scrap the entire 2000+ words and try again. Am trying to think of it as a learning experience. At least I realised after only 2000+ words this time and not 6000+ like on the Pirates mini-epic I wrote. It's the consequence of no real planning; if I plan too much I go off a fic entirely so I find I work best working to just vague ideas but that occasionally leads to wasting time and effort. Alas.
My local cinema is foolish. It's showing Hidalgo at the same ridiculous time every night all week, while crap films take up the rest of the screens. Am pissed off at cinema. Gggrrr.
Off to fic, or maybe read for a while. Love, peace and jelly babies!
