Ouch

In further proof (not really needed) that housework is dangerous and painful, I have just done my back in while washing up.

Some background: I have done the same thing twice before, once while turning round to get a mug out of a cupboard, and once while standing up. It is something to do with ligaments. It will hurt like hell for a week or so and then stop.

Am still going to hit 40,000 words today, but my characters may suddenly all develop nasty painful injuries / social diseases / psychological disorders. Write what you know.

Going for walk in sunshine now, as housework seems unwise.

Sunday night

40,006 / 50,000 (80.0%)

Back hurts: flat needs hoovering: am utterly exhausted. But ... but! I really had to force the last 50 words or so, but it seemed daft to stop just before the milestone ...
