    It’s the end of my ‘holiday’ March and I’m exhausted – between our big room swap and a family emergency which has led to many visitors, I’ve basically been cleaning house for a week. Seriously. How do real housewives do it? How did housewives cope before podcasts? And will I ever be able to listen to Radio Free Skaro again without getting mild asthma?

    We have some lovely friends who have pitched in and helped, and while all this was going on, the baby learned to creep (like crawling but flatter and sneakier), has consumed half a bright orange eggbox spider (mmm, orange paint), and has basically proved that she can no longer be left lying adorably on a quilt. Time to reclaim the playpen! (It’s been Raeli’s soft toy depository for a long time…)

    As March draws to a close, so does my two month of not buying books. I can’t say it’s been a time of deprivation – my to read shelves aren’t looking any lighter, and thanks to be being a bit heavy on the old Fishpond pre-order button, I have in fact still had new books arriving during this whole time. (the last of the pre-orders in fact arrived this week – Chicks Dig Time Lords – hooray!)

    It’s been good, though. I never want to get too guilty about buying books – it is a pretty important part of my life and career, after all. But it’s not a bad thing to force yourself to think about these things from time to time. And as it turned out, it was a very good idea to let me catch up with all those pre-ordered books and start with a clean slate again.

    I stopped keeping track of all those books I wanted to buy during this time after I hit 50 or so – I think this has shown me that I do in fact have more book buying restraint than I think I have! Even at my worst I’m not buying 50 books a month. I think I will break my fast in quite a restrained manner – a Roman Mysteries omnibus, Karen Healey’s first novel and maybe a little flit around the Big Finish catalogue. I am resolutely not looking at my list of books I wanted to buy, as that is likely to, you know, make me want to buy all of them!

    So what have I achieved this month? I’ve rested my brain, certainly. Spent some quality time with my girls. Cleaned the hell out of the house. Quilted one project and set up a second to finish shortly. Planned new art projects. Shopped for locally grown vegies and mashed many of them. Oh yes, and caught up on Last Short Story and started a podcast!

    What I haven’t done as well as I was hoping is in increasing my reading time or quantity. I only managed eight books, one more than in February. Even when not writing, my computer time drags me away from precious books! Still need to work on that. Also we haven’t got nearly as far through the editing of the Blueberry book as I was hoping – my fault, as I’m lagging behind on it and for one reason or another haven’t been able to get past the first third. I need to factor working on this into weekly schedule from April onwards! We really need to get this book finished.

    It’s been a busy, hectic month. But a rewarding one. The one day I actually seriously looked at Book #3, I made serious progress with it. Time will tell whether April Tansy is going to hold a grudge against March Tansy. In the mean time, March Tansy has made sure April Tansy has a pretty clean house to work in! Anyone (not looking at anyone in particular, Charles Tan) hoping for a cage match between the two of us may have to bide their time…
