Free! Free from the tyranny of SATs! The sprogs are running riot in the garden...
The early night was a washout: I couldn't sleep anyway. And the nap after taking Kai in/struggling back with too much shopping didn't help, as one of the houses across the road is having work done, and the ringing of scaffolding and clattering of gods-know-what ensured I woke with a jerk every time I was on the verge of dropping off. [sigh] The joys of suburban living. It's just not geared up to shift work...
Eh well. I'm sure I'll survive.
My wisteria is gorgeous this year, and smells amazing. Did I mention we've commissioned 'our' carpenter to make an overhead trellis, to match the side-path gate, for us to train the plant up and over the gateway? Oh well, I have now! It'll look lovely when it's done.
On the subject of rechargable batteries, you'd think, wouldn't you, that if you have a Kodak digicam, Kodak batteries would be ideal for use in same. Well, that's what I thought anyway, so we ordered two packs with the battery charger. They weren't cheap. They are, however, bloody useless. We can take about 20 photos before they run out. In contrast, the Duracell batteries currently in the camera have so far taken just over 200 and still seem to be going strong (though that's probably another 'Famous Last Words' mistake...) We won't be buying Kodak again.
<- Ken took this photo this morning. Yes, that's Argent
underneath the other two, shoving his muzzle in the food bowl.
Update on the
Dreams book: Godsfield have come back to say they don't want me to post any details until about a month before it's published (which is, according to Amazon.co.uk, around the 15
th of November). So sorry folks, it'll have to be later.
Lutra's now caught up with the
SFSG betas: need to get some more of her chapters done before starting my own tonight - which will be enjoyable, I've written all of half a page this week.
Lutra wanted to see
al fresco's haunt, so here's the setup for this afternoon.
Al himself isn't in the photo, obviously.
Off to make make chili con carne (for Ken and I) and barbecue chicken tortillas (for the sprogs)...
