Another working holiday

Hi everyone,
I am off for another week at the shack to work and rest and play. It will be nice to run again along the beach, I even bought a brand new pair of shoes to celebrate. It is not long now until our son's wedding. It seems like such a short time ago I was getting him ready for his first day at school. How quickly the time flies!
Pippi is much better. She is on a high dose of sedatives to keep the fits at bay which makes her a bit sleepy but the mere mention of a walk or the whiff of a tennis ball and she is back to her old self! There is life in the old dog yet.
I am determined to finish my book this week although I had to do some revisions on a recent submission. I am thrilled with how I have turned it around however and can't wait until you get to read it when it finally hits the shelves. It only has a working title at this point but I will let you know in due course.
I am now on Facebook and still new at it so be patient with me. If you would like to be my friend please drop by.
All the best,
Melanie xx

A new week

Hi everyone,
Well I have had such a quiet weekend this weekend. I have read and relaxed and been quite lazy for me. I think there are times in our busy lives when we need to stop and recharge the batteries. This weekend was one of them.
It has been a tough time with Pippi not well. She has has a couple of flare ups of fits so that has been quite distressing. She is stable now and I am holding my breath that she will continue to improve. Polly is so sweet towards her, patting her with one of her paws, as if to ask: Is something wrong? So sweet!
I have had a lot of business to see to which has kept me from my current hero and heroine but I don't think they will mind as they are in the middle of a hot scene!
I am as of this moment constructing a facebook space so please be my friends once I give you the go ahead. I have lots of things to share with you on there. It is looking fabulous thanks to be soon-t-be-daughter-in-law who has taken upon herself to get it sorted for me as I am so busy with everything else. Thank God for Generation Y!
All the best,
Melanie xx

Back home


Hi everyone,
Well I am back home, somewhat reluctantly as the weather is now just gorgeous. I had an extra afternoon and night at the beach house with a friend who needed a bed for the night. It was fabulous to have some girly time. I had to dash back to Hobart this morning to make an appointment plus do all the mom and wife stuff. I feel like I am chasing my tail but I am nearly there!
The dogs had such a wonderful time at the beach. They ran and swam and chased balls and even made a couple of friends, well at least Pippi did. Polly is a bit of a princess and thinks she's too good for commonfolk, especially those of indiscriminate breeding!
I hope you have a lovely week. I have a book due this week plus a book that is nearly finished. I am going to be a busy bee for sure.
All the best,
Melanie x

A rest at the shack

Hi everyone,
Well we are celebrating ( just Steve and the dogs and I) a lovely few days at the beach house. It is lovely to be able to run with the dogs along the beach-yes I am back running and so too is Pippi, although a little slowly. She is recovering well and although she has to stay on tablets at least she is losing weight which can only help at this stage. Thanks for the lovely comment from Tracey who asked after Pippi. I have a lot of readers who are dog lovers. I am devoted to mine as you can probably tell, but then I am devoted to just about everything-kids in particular!
It has been a lovely start to the New Year for me as I have been able to rest, read and write. I even went for a swim in the ocean this morning without my wetsuit. I was a bit cold but it was worth it. We have had a slow start to summer and the water is nowhere near as warm as it usually is at this time of year.
I hope you all had a fabulous New Year.
All the best,
Melanie x
