Quiet weekend

We're having a quiet weekend over here. My sister is still working hard and is doing some of it in the quiet of our living room now - it's sometimes difficult to concentrate at the office because of the constant ringing phones and such.

The deadline for Chris is next Friday. By then she should have everything more or less ready. If she succeeds, it's more than Titan's work. Those higher up demand more and more each year and forget the admin office only counts two of staff: Chris and her colleague Stein. Stein, who's much younger than Chris, is already near to drowning in the work. But also Chris is showing signs of tiredness, I can see it.

So next weekend we're going away to the coast - and nothing of work will come along! I told her she should be firm in that; when it's not done, than it's not - you can't work miracles unless they give you one of two extra's to help along.

I'm taking the time to do some writing. Yes, I finally found the inspiration to continue on a WIP I started last year before my cancer was diagnosed. It's a fun story of a witch who must do some good deeds to win her place in heaven. In this book she's helping out Kevin and Alayne. Kevin is a modern day singer-songwriter who alas doesn't have a lot of success. Alayne is born in 19th century Northern Ireland and desperately wants another future than having to marry a widower twice her age with 5 children. Kevin is brought to 12th century France to become a troubadour, while Alayne becomes a fugitive in modern day Paris. The writing goes well these days, so hopefully I can finish the novel in a couple of months.
