Weekend chatter
Was that the last busy weekend of the season? I wonder. Only busy because there was a big birthday bash at the bar and in the taverna afterwards. Music, dancing, food and fun, with us being the first to leave as we’re lightweights when it comes to staying out late. ‘Meet for pre-dinner drinks at eight,’ usually receives the reply, ‘I’m normally thinking about going to bed at eight, but I’ll do my best.’ We had a great time, though, and so did everyone else, from what I can gather.
I’ve also gathered that a new café is now open. It had its blessing on Sunday, and it’s on the way to the new landing stage, harbour, jetty, call it what you will. Where the Blue Star and other large ships pull in, on that stretch of road near the petrol station. I’m not sure of opening hours yet, so I can’t say if it will be open for the early morning Blue Star arrivals at 5.00, but no doubt time will tell.
While at the desk, draft two of a new ‘Clearwater’ story is now complete, so I can tinker with it in my draft three. I still only have half a title, so can’t get the cover started yet, but hopefully, by the day’s end, I will have found the rest of the title and sent a message to my cover designer who will, as usual, come up with something fabulous. I also have more of an idea of what the fourth part to the Saddling series is going to be, so I may finally get around to starting that. I just need to finish this one and then set myself a timetable for drafting the next. It may be autumn and heading for winter, but there is still much to do.
