Now, just because I have failed miserably at staying away from the computer after 10pm doesn't mean I'm useless at all other pursuits. It's October the eighth and I have written over 6000 words, so i'm not doing too badly. I was perhaps a bit ambitious thinking I could keep the pace up over the weekend, but I did get some reading done.
Did you know that during the Cold War the Soviet Union pressured Finland into buying Soviet tanks just so they could afford to buy Finnish commodities in return? ...and that the Finns then used the Soviet tanks as target practice in antitank warfare training, you know, in case the Soviets attacked? It gave me a bit of a giggle.
I spent the weekend in York, mainly sitting in cafes reading about the Cold War. Oh and eating. There was lots of eating.
I have also had the first bits of my braces fitted, which of course I'm thrilled about. Oh well, at least I'm already married and don't need to impress anyone anymore. ;-)
