One hundred and seventy two days ago I completed my first piece of ‘writing homework’.

Ninety nine days have passed since my last post.

In this time I’ve watched 4 Finnish and 1 Norwegian crime dramas.

I had forty six days during Lent when I didn’t eat cake, chocolate, or biscuits. There have been far fewer since.

There is a discrepancy of fifty four, between what the internet* and my diary count**, claim as the number of days since 17th March 2020.

So, maybe don’t trust me on numbers.

Four cygnets were born to our local swan family.

I’ve had 2 vaccine doses.****

And I’ve written

76, 393 words of a story.

Now I need to read it all, and start on the rewrite.

Until next time (by this reckoning around the start of October)
