turpsJames and Corey are fixing a crack in the toilet cistern. The crashing and banging and arguing is approaching a level ten at the moment. They'll be over it as soon as the job is done, but man, I could bang their heads together right now.
In other news. Still hot. Still humid. We did have rain but overnight and it's back to sunshine now. Though, it is forecast for more rain later.
My BBB writing plans have been thrown in disarray as James has been off work with severe tonsillitis since yesterday. He went to work Monday but at the end of his shift felt terrible. Went to the doctors yesterday who advised him to stay off, especially as his job is all talking. So my plans of being able to write in a quiet house are gone.
Dad also came to visit yesterday, and he said we've done well in the garden :D Then later, he told me how he'd arranged and paid for his own funeral and there was a letter with instructions and a will so me and my brother wouldn't have to worry. Which is good to know in a practical sense as I don't have any savings, and neither does my brother. But even so. DNW to think about that.
Other sad things. Two young teenage girls died in a river in a town very close to ours. The first week off from school, a beautiful sunny day and they went to play in the water, and paid the worst price, their bodies being found last night. I can't even imagine the pain their parents are going through right now.
It seems the toilet fixing has been done, thank goodness. So I'm going to try and write some words. I am over 7k so will make the minimum word count, but wow, it'll be the roughest of rough drafts. And to think after wave one I said I'd never be writing so last minute again.
