minervasoloImagine the following constitutes an actual description of my holiday:
9 1/2 days of sunshine out of 10. A sky clear enough to see the milky way. Dancing like a mad thing ’til three am to the sound of drums. Homemade hot tubs under the stars and saunas before bed. Outdoor showers and compost loos. Cooking for thirty people on an open log fire. Learning to swing dance, relearning the can-can, recognising the playford dancing, attempting belly dancing and going to a creative writing group. Fetching wood and water daily. Sewing buttons onto a piece of material to spell “Sublime”.
There would have been more, but I've been in a hippy haze of lovely loveliness (dehydration + dancing + sleep deprivation + hormones), and I came back to two awesome things.
Firstly, Swan Made was accepted for the Fairy Tales Anthology! It's a sort of second teir acceptance, which explains why they took so long getting back to me - the anthology has been split in two, one m/m stories and one f/f. They've put out a call for more f/f stories, so I might enter that too!
Secondly, the Beeb posted this article this morning. Unlike the Cambodia one from 2005 and the H1Z1 article from this year, this is actually a genuine BBC article. About the research of a man called Robert Smith? (to distinguish himself from Robert Smith of The Cure). Someone on JournalFen even linked me a copy of the actual report.
Plus I've had two days off work, in theory to get everything sorted post holiday. I've washed all my clothes, emptied my inbox and bought food, but mostly I've slept in nice and late and watched Hammer Horror films. :)
What's everyone else been up to?
