Bye bye jury duty, and copy edits

mixed again, threatening rain, temps 8

We have the fireplace on. Quite cosy. Lilacs are loving the cooler weather and the aliums are just blooming too. Snow expected tonight. Must remember to plant the sweet pea and bring in the flats of annuals. Lise said she'd plant the peas, but the sooner the better I think and she comes on Friday. she's such a great gardener everyone wants her!

Had to cancel coffee with Joan today - that's the bad news. The good news is Michael found a loophole for jury duty. People over 65 are exempt, and so are their spouses - me. Ha ha.

So much for civic duty.

Have to head in to Knowlton to the notary to get an affidavit signed, then go next week to the courthouse for the exemption.

I wonder if anyone is happy about jury duty. I wonder if enjoying it is also an exemption.

Quiet day of writing. There's a reason no reality shows are made about writers. All we do is stare at a computer or into space. or eat. or drink. Very boring.

UPS just arrived to take away the copy edits for book 4 - A RULE AGAINST MURDER. Nice to have them gone.

Now, Michael and I are off to Knowlton for the affidavit. Will see if I can get arrested - something to spice up the blog.
