Things I did and didn't write today so far

[erastes]

Not a word of Frost Fair. Instead I wrote a short piece on the wonderful Captain Rees Howell Gronow for Unusual Historicals tomorrow. It's not procrastination if it's blogging, right?  Then I wrote a bile filled post and deleted it all. Because life's too short. Whilst researching for Gronow though, I did find this lovely site.  Dandyism.  And created a LJ feed, too.dandyismblog Ok. Now I've written 20 words of FF. I need a FF icon.

Deleted it? Aw, shucks, but your bile filled posts are so entertaining to read!
