Holiday day 5

selenayYesterday I planned to go for a short walk with Mum. SHORT. Because Mum isn't really up for long walks any more, thank you arthritis.
She wanted to go walking somewhere that isn't the little park down the road, so we hopped in her car and went to a local wood. It's small, I swear, you wouldn't think anyone could get lost in it but...
It was not a short walk. We've sworn each other to secrecy, at least in terms of telling Dad about it. Mostly because he'll find it hilarious not because he'd worry. He's usually the "gets lost halfway down the road" member of the family.
I get lost walking out of the door.
Mum is the good navigator in the family and I was following her, so really, we shouldn't have got that lost but we did. Oops.
The rest of the day was just messing about on the Internet, reading fic, generally not doing anything stressful (except for the period of time spent trying to find a title and summary for a fic posting, titles are the worst).
I also wrote a bit. Apparently Guardian has broken through my writer's block and now I'm working on a fix-it fic, as you do when a show breaks your heart into tiny pieces and you need to recover.

Date: 2020-08-07 04:15 pm (UTC)And I can't wait to see what your next fic is :D

Date: 2020-08-08 08:57 am (UTC)I can't wait to see what my next fic is either. Why isn't it magically transferring itself to the page? Why must I write it? :D

Date: 2020-08-07 11:20 am (UTC)I'm not actually the worst navigator in the family. That honour goes to my dad's older brother.
My dad's younger brother lived in the same house for twenty year. Older brother got lost driving there every. Single. Time.
For twenty years.
Seven or eight times a year.
We really don't know how he managed that, except we also do know.
He stopped getting lost when he met the love of his life (at age 55, there's hope for everyone) and she is an excellent navigator.
