I've had a busy week or so, but it's been great.

First (and most important): As some of you know, though I rarely talk about it, my mum has suffered from depression over the past ten years or so. On Wednesday, she had made it one whole year without a single hospitalisation, for the first time ever since her diagnosis. She is doing really well, and is even planning on joining one of the support groups on a weekend getaway to Bruges next month. So we had a big party, that went on into the wee hours.

Second: My better half and I celebrated our fourteenth anniversary on Monday. We have now been together longer than any couple in my family, and take every chance to remind them all of it . My nan said that kids who get together in university don't have lasting relationships; well, guess she was wrong. Of course, we had another party that went on into the wee hours.

Third: Spent a few days reading the anthology stories - congrats to everyone on the great entries. My first anthology story was really well received, and I'd like to thank everyone who read and reviewed.

Fourth: Baked a couple of cakes for our annual Cancer Research UK fundraiser yesterday.

I'm now looking forward to putting my feet up over the weekend and just crashing in front of the TV.
