Remember to let me know you're own little Acts of Kindness in the Comments
Kind Act Count to Date: 96
Day 25 I vowed some weeks ago not to get my haircut until I'd submitted The Book to the publishers. As a result I am now beginning to resemble a cross between James May off of Top Gear and an unruly privet hedge. If I do not finish soon, I may get an audition for Motorhead.
As an unwelcome side effect, whenever I walk past a barber's shop, I get a pang of guilt at not being chained to my laptop hammering away at another draft. I have been tempted on more than one occasion to run into the shop and yell: "I'm doing the shopping! My family has to eat!" I have resisted thus far.
I am actually now beginning to think that my knowledge on Financial Provision on Divorce is now actually contained in my hair, and if I get it cut, the knowledge will be shorn from me. I am like Samson, except instead of being a strong and handsome hunk of a man, I am somebody who knows far too much about Bye v Bye (still, for my money, the most aptly named divorce case in legal history).
Anyway, I managed to squeeze in a Kind Act today. I have bought flowers for my mother-in-law. I hope to glean the reward in the form of roasted cheese, rolls and square sausage and other tasty treats from her kitchen.
