‘Write drunk, edit sober . . .’ Ernest Hemingway
Cheers, E!
In response to my 672nd post yesterday, I was rewarded with the following quote…… thank you!
I am a drinker with writing problems. Brendan Behan
So for Thursday
1. N/A- but managed my 1.5 litres of water
2. In bed by 11.55 despite watching ‘Deadwood’- restricted myself to one episode
3. Only Water and Apple Juice with lunch – fresh Ciabatta, two types of Pecorino and a Granny Smith- prepared by candlelight–see pic below
4. see above list
5. The heavy snowfall – now frozen solid again precluded a brisk walk but spent 45 mins shoveling snow.
So still on track….
So for Wednesday
1. N/A- but managed my 1.5 litres of water
2. In bed by midnight- despite having started to watch ‘Deadwood’- it’s compulsive watching – and Ian McShane is excellent!
3. Being invited to lunch at Piero’s house , with Luigi and Chiara- put the stop to this one – Luigi is a chef and with Piero runs an organic food smallholding. Therefore an excellent lunch: polenta with gorgonzola in it with salsiccia and spinach . . . . followed by a sleep . . .
4. Did something: ate and slept….actually also did some serious drawing: and continued with my digital B&W (see pics below) with freezing cold hands.
5. The heavy snowfall (see pics below) precluded a brisk walk but I still did a lap of the village.So just about on track.
January is never a great month is it? So I decided to try a New Week’s resolution– I reckon that might get done – – no point in being too ambitious. . .
See? I’ve made it public – my level of commitment is there for all to see . . or not.
So far today I’ve done OK
1. Only a quartino of wine with dinner at 8.30- late start small quantity . . . . . and anyway in certain parts of Italy it’s illegal to not drink with a meal….. no.. I just made that up . .
2. Well not in bed yet but it’s only 10.15
3. See above
4. Did something: went to the dentist, took Archie to the vet and also spent about 4 hours cleaning the studio.
5. Managed a swift lap of the village – only twenty minutes but flat out and it’s bloody freezing.
Good start:
PS this regime is based on a five day week – the weekend arrives and all bets are off, and if I’m out for lunch that’s different, too! Any other exceptions I need to include? – – I’m sure I’ll think of some . . . . 🙂
