A busy week
It’s been a busy week in the Scott household, coming down to earth in the aftermath of last week’s celebration.
My publisher sent the first galley proofs of my new novel, so I had to read every word again in order to correct any mistakes. It’s a real chore and I wish I could afford to lob it off onto someone else. But I can’t. Have now gone through the second galley proofs as well, which is all I’m allowed. Have to start paying (through the nose, actually) for any corrections after that. Still, it means the final stage is nearer. When I’ve signed off on the galley proofs, the next stage is the front cover, which fortunately the publishers get designed for me. I’m no artist.
Then the rector here has gone on holiday, so I had three services to take last Sunday (and next), a midweek communion tomorrow, a wedding rehearsal on Thursday and the wedding on Friday.
Feeling less like retirement every moment, but our son is coming over tomorrow evening and we’re going out for a meal, as it’s my birthday. Eldest daughter is in Finland running another course (husband and small daughter go with her, so they combine it into a holiday – very nice) and youngest daughter can’t make it up here again having been here so recently.
So life is busy – but good!
