A work in progress...53

I can't believe it's almost a month since my last post. Quite a lot has happened since then. I've got a new laptop, another Compaq which is quite cool and funky so I will start writing again next week. My nephew Alex is with me in the office for work experience, so he's been travelling in with me on the train so I've had to suspend writing for a couple of weeks. I've also had stuff to write up for work so the writing has taken a back seat for a couple of weeks. I have created a blog for what I've done so far and once I've tweaked the layout I'll go public with it.

I've also sent 11,000 words to my friend Helen who's an author and I'm waiting for her feedback. If it's good I may try a couple of agents. Looks like my case with the evil ex landlord is going to go to court as I've not heard anything from him and when I do I doubt it will be a tempt at any reconcilliation. I'm very confident of my position and would quite look forward to meeting him in court.

Relationship wise, we've hit another rocky patch and there's talk of me moving out. We've been in the house less than 2 months, but things are not working out between my wife and me. I'm resigned to us splitting up.

Watched it's all gone pete tong at the weekend, which was surprisngly good and turned into a warm, human interest story with excellent performances from the lead actors and of course a kickin soundtrack. Also mowed the lawn at the weekend. I hate doing it, it's so surban and middle class and fucking boring.
