Day 3 and I'm already slacking

Well don't "I" look pleased with myself with my pointy chin and pointy nose and spindly neck and flappy ear and what appears to be a small horn growing out the side of my head! Overall, I'd say this doesn't remotely reflect my chicken Kiev moment in Tesco earlier! Instruction to AI was: A woman with short, white pixie cut hair and thick black glasses wearing a black coat is standing in a supermarket looking at the fridge section. She is very happy to see chicken Kiev for sale.

I feel like I’m slacking. I edited for less than an hour this morning and probably another hour, maybe a bit more, late afternoon. And that’s it (though I do still have the manuscript open so will probably work on it a bit more this evening). In my defence, I did have some errands to do in Melrose and Galashiels so was out from 9 until 2. Had I been in London, I’d probably only have been out for two hours. It’s a 50-minute drive to Melrose and over an hour to come home via Galashiels. It doesn’t help time-wise that sometimes, eg today, I get a bit giddy about being out! Tesco seemed particularly exciting today. It gave me enormous pleasure to see a chicken Kiev, which I’d forgotten I might have wanted to look for because a friend sewed the seed of chicken Kiev by saying she had one for dinner on Sunday. I didn’t have it this evening, but I’m mildly embarrassed by how excited I am about chicken Kiev, chips and peas and carrots for dinner tomorrow. Hmm, maybe I can only have that for dinner if I knuckle down and spend longer at my desk tomorrow? Short post today because, now I'm writing this I feel motivated to do some more editing before bed time ...
