Along with the sunshine, There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.
So today I got up, didn't shower, got dressed and did the housework. I made chocolate biscuits last night, they where pretty good. Anyway, I decided I wanted some more oranges and cigarettes so I walked through the olive groves and onto the hilly rocky roads within the Apokoronas area. I took Lucy as standard (My Dog).
It's such a beautiful day today, it felt like the middle of summer in Cornwall. I still wore jeans and woolen boots as I didn't want to look like a tourist, but compromised with a t-shirt. The Greeks are still in jackets and scarves. I'm getting friendly with the guy in the shop now, the first few times I went in there he over charged me on cigarettes by 30 cents and didn't say hello or goodbye. Now he's charging me cigarettes at the right price and smiling at me saying hello when I enter the shop and asking me how I am and a thank you and goodbye. It feels good to be part of something.
In other news, I decided to stop willing myself to continue writing on my book as getting good ideas for it is like trying to herd cats - impossible. So instead I'm reading a book I bought the other day and getting insanely jealous of authors who can write better than me.
I haven't learnt how to write properly. I'm writing it as if I am the person and just writing down thoughts as her. I haven't yet developed how to write about things that are happening around her. It's quite difficult. I don't know if that makes any sense. Also, i'm quite sharp and to the point, so I can write a paragraph which authors usaully take about a couple of pages to spread out. But when I get excited I rush to get it all down.
The amount of times I've read through it and saw how shit it is makes me get even more disheartened. I must develop my prose that I already have. Basically drag it out a bit more.
So thats all I've got for you at the moment.
