desperanceHere I am with an immovable deadline, 7pm tomorrow night; here I am with a thousand words of story, needing several thousand more.
Here I am with a double armful of cat, Mac deciding that he needs a cuddle now, plzkthx. Le sigh.
But I did actually have to come home, as I need to wander over the park to the BBC at 4pm to be interviewed a second time about the Chalet School books. Last time I was in Stanford, with Karen and California sunshine waiting; this time I'm in Newcastle, with deadlines. Guess where I'd rather be? (But they had technical issues, apparently, with the recording, so I need to repeat myself. My cynical soul says that "technical issues" prob'ly means I stammered and stuttered and was incoherent, and they want to try one more time to see if I can actually make sense, only they're too nice quite to say so.)
