The Deadline Extremity



‘I love deadlines. I love the sound they make as they go by.’
Words of wisdom from the man who, if I have an idol, is it, Douglas Adams. Today was deadline day, so I crept out of bed at just gone seven, and bogged off to my Starbucks to work my ass off. As I write this, it’s nearly 8.30 at night – 13 hours later, and I’ve just about finished for the day. In the interests of full disclosure, I should say, I took an hour off for a rather extravagant lunch with d, who came down to Cardiff herself after doing the sensible, day-off thing and catching some more sleep after waving my ass out of the door. The extravagant lunch was a la Francaise – guinea hen, no less, and a slightly odd potato soup that tasted of nothing – French cuisine, Welsh style.

Have yet to bike, but that’s next on my list of stuff to do. Once I’ve sent a couple of emails. And posted this online. And oh yeah, loaded up a couple of links to my writing website. And finally write some Christmas cards. And find a Parcel Force card so I can hopefully claim a parcel that hopefully hasn't been sent back to fuck-knows-where, even though it was a while ago it arrived, and...oh gods, I hate deadlines.
