I’ve not spent a great deal of time sitting at the computer this weekend, which may be a good thing – it’s always good to take a break, however short it might be.
I spent most of the weekend fixing a fence in the garden, which had blown down in the storms we had a week earlier. As I have such a quiet lifestyle, the amount of physical work involved was much more than I bargained for, but with more winds forecast for later in the week, I knew I had to get it finished before they struck. As a result, my hands and arms hurt, my back aches and the back of my legs give me pain every time I bend to pick something up. However, there is something satisfying about exerting all that energy in such a physical way. It’s almost like a purging of the system. The downside was that I managed to hit my fingers with the hammer on a number of occasions. 🙁
On Saturday we also had two lots of visitors, so I also had to spend some time with them in-between bouts of fence-fixing. I always enjoy having visitors, but the problem of the fence meant that I had to leave them for some of the time. Luckily they understood.
One thing that I did manage to fit in was a little bit of work on SC1. I wrote up some notes and initial dialogue for the ending. This is quite important as it now defines so much of the story progression in order to get the characters to that point. What I now intend to do is write up a story synopsis that brings it all together.
