Kate Walker

I'm back - and I'm trying to catch up!

And I've been tagged - a couple of times - So I'll start with this one from Kate Hardy as it's the one that took least thought -


current clothing: lilac top, with lace, burgundy fake ‘suede’ skirt black lace tights
current hair: windblown – I just got in from town
current mood: wondering which of the 3 volume length ‘to do list’ to do!
current refreshment: 1. strong black coffee in my RSC mug with a quite from ‘As You Like it’ saying ‘Sell when you can, you are not for all markets’
And 2. A large glass of water - always have to have both.
current annoyance: Can’t think of one which is surprising – unless I include the answer to the next question -
current avoidance: the fact that my office is a tip.
current smell: Decleor Arome Spa Tonic
current thing you ought to be doing: tidying and organising my office, writing the new Modern/Presents novel to get it from my head and into words,
current thing or things on your wall: kitten calendar given me by my son & partner, prints and a painting by Peter Brook, a Yorkshire painter who taught me at school, prints of Haworth, Yorkshire, photos of my friends – including Michelle Reid and eHarlequin hosts Dee, Dream and Rae
current IM/person you're talking to: my cats Sid and Redford – apart from them, the house is empty
current jewellery: wedding ring and white gold ring with 3 diamonds – a treat to myself from my last royalty cheque – and for my ‘Best Presents’ nomination for The Twelve Month MIstress. Silver heart shaped earrings
current book: Reading – a list of books to judge for the RITAs so no no names. Writing – see thing I ought to be doing…
current worry: getting my book finished by deadline
current favorite celebrity: Hmm – there’s always Hugh Jackman - and Martin Shaw
current obsession: at the risk of being boring – the new book!
current love: my DH
current longing: to get more reading time and to be more organised
current disappointment: would you believe I can’t think of one? Oaky, not being further into the book I’m writing.
current lyric in your head: Pressure- Billy Joel
current music: nothing – I work in silence mostly – looking on the CD player it’s a CD of ‘Lurve Songs’ made for me by a very special friend.
current favorite book: It’s not a favourite but I recently read Jodi Picoult’s The Pact and it stunned me.
current favorite movie: No idea!
current wish: That the new book would just write itself
current undergarments: (would you believe I had to look!) White lace bra white lace ‘shorts’ style knickers
current desktop picture: Nothing
current plans for tonight/weekend: Tonight – working late as DH doesn’t get back till 10.30 - so hopefully I will be sorting the office till then – then a glass of wine and the repeats of tonight’s Coronations Street - ah, the highlife of the romance novelist/ This weekend –meeting a friend for lunch - dinner somewhere with DH (finally catching up on a delayed Valentine’s Day!) and some work on the new book.

And I'll tag Michelle Styles (in revenge for the one she got me on!) Anna Lucia and - hmm - Anne McAllister
