see you next week

We're off to Herefordshire (along the Welsh border) for three days, and then I'm off to London to do external examining, so I'll see you all next week.

We were in Herefordshire last year, around April, and it was the memorable occasion upon which, scrambling about on the ruins of a castle near Ross-on-Wye, that I hatched the bunny of what has mutated into the gynormous omg D/D opus. And to think it started out as a light-hearted Karl/Dom ficlet...

*hits self on head in manner reminiscent of Isabelle Huppert's nihilist technique in I ♥ Huckabees*

Oh, and little note to childeproof: 'tis also, of course, where I saw your Sheela Na Gig icon! `:-)

a fly is an arthropod!!!

Also, I haven't read any Flylady emails in over a week but I continue to fly blind!!! I'm just coasting along on my routines and sink shinings and where-is-your-laundries. Plus, my new time-management system re academe is now into its third week and STILL WORKING, omg 111 @-@ I have been writing at least ten minutes' worth of my book every single weekday. And now I'm writing on stairs, candles, upturned chairs, abandoned daggers and other narrative visual clues and it's actually fun!

*falls down semi-dead*

( Some candles, a bloodstain and rucked-up fabrics -- and death, death, death )
