The end, playground, hungry.

1. On Thursday I wrote "The End" on the finished first draft of my novel! I have actually completed a novel!! Yes it needs lots of work and editing, but the first draft, all 87000 words of it, is done.

2. Taking the kids to the Pod Playground up on the mountain. Warm sunny day with a breeze, surrounded by sky and grassy slopes and young arboretum trees.

3. Being very very hungry at lunchtime. Food tastes so good when you are starving.

Puppy rehomed, cheesecake, sleep in

1. Three months ago we got a puppy. He was a lovely little dog, but recently, for various reasons, we decided we couldn't keep him. I was very stressed about this, since he was very attached to us by then. But I posted an ad online yesterday and within hours had three calls. We met the first people today and they seemed perfect. So I feel comfortably sure that he has gone to a good home and will be happy there. It is a big relief.

2. Individual passionfruit cheesecake.

3. I know I can sleep in as late as I like tomorrow.
