Hiding from editor? No, not a fan of death but then not morbidly petrified either (morbid, did you see what I did there? haha). I suppose it depends on whether you believe in an afterlife or reincarnation. The thing with this theory was the procrastination being a way of denying the existence of death. Or something. Anyway, happy birthday! I’m so crap at remembering but Ruth’s email just prompted me. So that’s what the cake is then, definitely a glut of celebrating going on for you at the mo. My valentines day was a relief more than anything because Alys just out of surgery, we hadn’t bought each other presents but went to Ikea for a new sofa. Is that romantic? Suppose it depends on what happens on the sofa once we get it! Why would you be under the desk? Hiding from editor?

I mean, it's not like I lie awake at night quivering at the prospect, but I think I speak for most when I say: Death? Not a fan. Valentine's Day was quite ridiculously lovely (yours?): am spending the weekend eating cake, and then pancakes on Tuesday. I will try to fit in some book writing somewhere. Oh, I'm going for lunch with my editor this week, actually. I'm not sure I'll fit under my desk after all this... Who isn’t afraid of dying?

I kid you not! Ferrari, J. R., Johnson, J. & McCown, W. G. (1995) Procrastination and Task Avoidance: Theory, Research, and Treatment New York: Springer http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Lu4r0H_wcVcC Funny how when I was reading about procrastinating I thought about you and had to come over here to post a message, thus avoiding doing the work that I was doing when I found the reference. Anyway, how are you cherub? Hope you had a good Valentine’s day and looking forward to pancake day. And, er, writing a book?
