I woke int day four of my extended Easter holidays and writing week with the kind of sunny morning that I had been hoping for all week. Blue sky and sunshine definitely put in the music for getting up, for buying daffodils and baking Easter biscuits. All of which I have done. I also finished off my project in the garage by sorting out the boxes of miscellaneous kitchen things into things for the charity shop.

It is of course 1 April and thus the day for April Foolery. Strangely and bizarrely I caught some people out even after I preceeded the Fool with the fact that I was useless at thinking up fools and and this was my best attempt?!! Me not understand…

All of this of course has resulted in much procrastination from the job at hand. But I have written a couple more pages and got a bit further into the head of Louis Tumnal. The springtime weather soon deserted us and descended into wind and rain and driving cold. If I was still writing The End of All Worlds it would be just the kind of weather to inspire me but Mr Tumnal requires a quieter kind of weather, late summer evenings with a warmth in the air, and an edge to the wind.
