Dust and Cobwebs

Well, my poor blog has been gathering dust and cobwebs. Much like the flat actually.
NaNoWriMo started on the 1st and we managed to keep up with the word count for a grand total of... 2 days! So we're struggling to keep up a bit. We hit the word goal yesterday and were only about 500 or 600 short today, so we are catching up (although technically also falling further behind, which is a bit of a weird concept).
Our dreadful word goal failings are mainly due to being busy with other things. I'm still job hunting, James works every Saturday and some Fridays while also juggling lectures and essays, and he insists we only write together, so between us free time is limited. We also seem to spend an astonishing amount of time dealing with small things such as paying in cheques, paying bills, going to various meetings and the dreaded flat tidying. I keep telling myself we'll work out a system eventually but I think we're too lazy, so the system atm is to tidy when people visit.

In other news, I'm attempting a new hobby. It's a bit of an uninteresting hobby, but I'm not telling anyone but James what it is in case it doesn't work and I'm rubbish at it. So far I've fallen at several hurdles but it seems to be going a bit better now, so I'll see if I can continue to find time for it.

Mother, if you're reading this, it's not anything dangerous or illegal.
