Hung-over and Still Bored

Since it was our seventh wedding anniversary on Monday, I treated myself to a ‘pub crawl’ around the village. I put it in inverted commas because there are no pubs where we live and only six shops where I feel comfortable drinking a beer. My wife had to look after our granddaughter, but she called in her mother to help and joined me at the last watering hole.

It was not very exciting, not a single person spoke to me until she arrived. This is because of the language barrier, not because nobody likes me – I think.

Anyway, I was back at my desk before nine o’clock.

I haven’t got much done today. Probably slightly hung-over from last night. I’m getting old. It takes me so much longer to recover from drinking a lot less than ever six months ago. I wasted the whole morning doing nothing, and the next thing I knew, it was four hours later and time to go to Jane’s for a hair of the dog, where I am now writing this to you.

I won’t stay out long today though. I want to do an hour’s promo put two more ‘How to’s’ on Lulu, and prepare a template to write the book in that I intend to start tomorrow. ‘Tiger Lily’ 2 – TL2. I am wondering about relocating her to London, where she could be following a post grad course. It might widen the base of interest for the story.

It will take some research, but I quite like that aspect of writing anyway.

She could go in for children’s ailments – paediatrics, is it?

While celebrating yesterday, I forgot to post my diary entry, although I did write one, and while daydreaming my time away today hung-over, I likewise forgot, so I will have to post two messages when I get in.

What do you think of the podcasts? They are an experiment, but poor quality. Perhaps I should read them myself.

I saw a photo of the hole in my back just now. It’s about three-quarters of an inch wide, a quarter of an inch deep and looks as if someone has taken a chunk out with an apple corer. Bright red inside, but I guess that’s better than green.

All the best,

Owen

Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
