Odds & Sods

Aga has the flu, the girls still seem to not have recovered from the excitement of the weekend. Yesterday I took them out for pizza and then to the park so Aga could try and rest/recuperate a bit. After going down the slides and running around for a while they wanted to be pushed on the swings. Afer that we went home and they had their bath and went to bed after reading a few stories.

I read Stephen King's "On Writing" and finished it, like most of his books it was a very quick read. It was more of an autobiography than a book that taught any insights on writing. He did say to write 10 pages per day for 6 days per week, to not worry about plot, to make sure you write in a comfortable setting. What intrigued me the most was reading about how a car hit him and his physical therapy after surgery. I really like his books "'Salem's Lot" and "It", also his short stories usually are very good.

My Mom is coming to visit Thursday for a week to watch N & J while Aga and I celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary this Friday the 19th of August.
