After feeling a little bit down about not doing much writing these past few days I've discovered that it is actually okay to go slow and do other things. On Saturday I went to watch an amazing production of Pride & Prejudice in an outdoor theatre in the grounds of Dunham Massey. It was wonderful, despite the fact I'm not a great Jane Austen fan I really enjoyed it. We had a picnic, sat huddled under cardigans as the night set in and I watched loads of rabbits and squirrels tearing around the garden not caring that there were over 500 people sat not one hundred metres away.
On Sunday I watched the Wimbledon final (sorry Nadal didn't win Sam) and then had a barbecue. Despite being absolutely exhausted it was really nice to have a packed weekend and just enjoy myself doing things that didn't include obsessing about my writing.
On Thursday night I went to The Octagon theatre and watched Sweeney Todd. The main reason I went was because my sister had designed a poster at Uni and it was displayed in the bar. The production was actually really really good (if it hadn't finished I would recommend it to anyone) and my sister's poster looked amazing on the wall. She was so proud of it I couldn't help but smile. My sister is a true testament to the fact that eventually you can pull yourself back together after falling apart.
