It’s Man Monday Day but I’m not sure where the weekend went. Usually I’d have my post done already but I had a really big weekend. First of all, the dreaded laundry took forever and I got into a cleaning frenzy in the kitchen. If I didn’t know it was impossible I’d swear I was nesting. LOL. The kitchen sparkles and I’ve found a new hero – Patrick Dempsy!
Next, I caught up on a bit of TV. Last week I recorded a show “Kevin McCloud’s Grand Tour” but didn’t watch it till Saturday. Really great viewing for a historical writer. The English presenter took viewers on a trip around Europe that mimicked the places the 18th century gentlemen would have travelled to as part of their grand tour. And best of all, he included examples of how those travels influenced the architecture of Britain.
Last week flat out work. I started a new story, for the challenge with my critique partners. 7000 odd words in three days is pretty good when I’m not writing with an outline. I’m usually a plotter but thought I would try to create a story without planning beyond the day I’m writing. I have some ideas but they are not placed, thought of, or written in order. Could be a good story – or it could be a nightmare. Have to wait and see.Anyway, Monday morning is running away from me and I have to get into my writing.
Have a great week and in celebration of Grey’s Anatomy returning to Aussie TV here is a little something yummy to get you into your Monday.

Oh, wow! That show sounds fantastic! I wonder if it will play in the US, or if it’s on DVD somewhere. I would love to see it. Thanks for the Dempsy pic, too…I loved him in Enchanted 🙂
Google it and also have a look at youtube. I often spot tv shows in there. Its a two parter (I think only two) and the rest hasn’t aired here yet.
Hey Heather,
I have to say I’m enjoying Kevin’s grand tour. It’s fantastic viewing. Makes me want to go back to Italy.
And yum, Mr Dempsey is delightful viewing. I’ve also discovered a new hottie on TV. No idea what his name is, but he’s the lead in New Amsterdam. Phwoar, what a bod, and the face isn’t too bad either!
🙂 Mon
Mon, I have bad news about New Amsterdam. I don’t believe it got a second season. I hate that! But you are right – the actor is good to look at. 🙂
Oh yummy, McDreamy, how cool is it that we double Grey’s atm. Good luck with your challenge.
