Okay, so I have to wait till the end of June, but I’ve just found out that I can get a laptop for free. I don’t know what spec it is (but it’ll be decent I can guarantee), it will have an American keyboard (so there will probably be some quirks I have to work my way around that I’m not used to), and it will have Win NT 4 (but that’s no bad thing). Basically my uncle has a stash of old one’s in the back of his wardrobe and has kindly offered me one – so as soon as another friend is coming this way (June for the Aldburgh Festival) I can have it.
Yayy!! A novel writing in a coffee shop or under a cherry tree I do go…
I swear I am going to go down to the local International Solidarity Centre coffee shop this weekend and hang out and listen to live folk music and be, like, you know, the cool girl in the corner writing her novel.
