"Kicked in to the long grass"

I've had to fetch my ball out from where I've had it hidden for a fair few weeks. I'm trying to move forward an arts project and it means getting people on board. I've been putting it off and had it in the 'too difficult' pile. Still, I've made a start and am exhausted as a result.

I've found the story to go with yesterday's entry! The burning of the midnight oil was in preparation for a seminar to be delivered on the other side of the world. And Pokeybagel you were right, she is a writer and has published work on the subject of gossip. Now what a strange twist is that? I'm keeping it zipped from now on.
