Haven't posted for a while because I have acquried a stinking computer virus which has decimated my trusty laptop. I am pretty devastated as you can guess. It's costing me two trips to Oxford plus £70 to get it fixed. Possibly. If not I have to face losing all my stuff. I can't find my backup memory stick, which has all the latest versions of 'Poignard', 'Songbirds' and the rest. God help me, if it's all lost... All that hard fucking work, I will actually cut a bitch, I really will. I hate being without internet access. Not being able to read my ebooks or work on the novels.
I can't let myself think about it too much or I really will get upset. All that money spent , all that time working on my stories...godamnit, I didn't even do anything wrong!
I have been reading a few paper novels, which is taking my mind off the computer catastrophe. The Jacobite Trilogy by D K Broster which was really enjoyable. Very much like the early Outlander books but with a lot less sensationalism and sex.They were written in the 1920s and I think they might be out of print now, which is a shame because I think they would make splndid films. I really got into it and the characters. I suspect Gabaldon has probably read these as the similiarities were too abundant for it to be sheer serendipity.
I also read 'Drums of War' by Edward Marston which was engaging enough. even if the hero was a bit of a Gary-Stu. Was it enitrely necessary to go on about every woman wanted him? Not convinced about that.
I'm also going to try and get some films watched on the other computer.I got 'To kill a King' and 'Maurice' to watch maybe tonight. If the worst comes to the worst, I'll have to save up for a new computer so In may be absent without leave for a bit. I hate the thought of it but there you go.
