Tina and her team partner made second place in a small local chess tournament. They won book vouchers and chess computer games. Even Toyah who made last place (she was by far the youngest) won a book and a voucher. Katharina was interviewed by the moderator and by a journalist from the local radio station. I practically combusted with pride when she analysed the games she'd played and the mistakes her opponent had made and even joked with the interviewer. She was truly awesome.
I bought a few nice items for the kids, like a black top, cheap jewellry, and a few cheap books. I also bought a not so cheap children's book on Vikings (for my nanowrimo novel), and a handful of really cheap DVDs. I've never seen Donnie Brasco but I heard it's good. And I know Bound is fantastic.
Came home, played a game with the kids, put them to bed, and tried to write. Managed about 500 words, that's all, which brings me up to just over6.000. Bah. I haven't had enough sleep lately, and I can't write when I'm tired like this. I knew it would be hard to do nanowrimo this month. Too many commitments that get in the way. I did a little every day, and I had a few brief moments of white heat writing. That's good. I'm not giving up yet. I'll just do the best I can.
Tomorrow I'll go hunting for a nice Legolas pic on the net. Katharina has developed a huge crush on him, it's quite adorable. I think she wants to marry Orlando Bloom. She said she doesn't mind the age difference. Bwaahaaa. Viktoria likes Aragorn better. But doesn't talk of marriage, thank god. *g*

Does anyone know why they chose November? Why not January when most people are too broke and or snowed in to do anything but write?
