Nothing happened!

My first week of retirement has been underwhelming.

All the exciting plans I had – trips out for coffee, for brunch, some shopping, a visit to a local library for research, be part of a 10th anniversary celebration, attend a book launch – I had to cancel them all.

I was confined to the house.

Covid, that devious devil, caught me unaware.

Despite this, I can report I have submitted a 75 word flash fiction piece to Paragraph Planet, and sent two letters to magazines. It isn’t much, but it’s a start.
