Jessewave has a lively discussion over here about M/M and whether there is a decline in quality or is it just her?

I’m particularly chipper today, somehow the heat doesn’t bother me so much when I don’t have to work in an un-airconditioned glass box. I have a nice little fan which actually creates cool air, (don’t know how that works) which keeps the temperature perfect, and the house is east-west facing so I get the sunshine in the morning and evening which is love-rly. I think it’s too hot to take Aslan out and leave him in the car today, so I’ll try and talk Dad in to eating at home. The hay fever is also particularly bad this morning, but I’ve had my honey and will be wearing my dark glasses. I don’t take any drugs unless I have to (this isn’t from any mad religious reasons but simply I think that the body is better and can cope better without them) and local honey – really local, there’s a farm which sells it about quarter of a mile away – either works miracles or is enough of a placebo to dampen it down. Either way, it works.

Talking of bees, I have a philadelphus bush

in my Sleeping Beauty Hedge (so called as it’s out of control, about 20 feet high and needs serious help, also princes with big swords welcome) and it’s covered in bees. This is good news as bees have had a hard time in the last couple of years, due to a bee virus so hopefully this is a good sign.

Writing wise, Mere Mortals has moved forward – now it is I can’t really see what it was that was stalling me. Perhaps I was just being lazy, or perhaps it’s because I have an outline for the second half of the book and I hate (as you know) writing to an outline because in my head it’s actually happened and I wish someone else would write it down for me. So yeah. Lazy.

Oh dear. I think I just put my spare mobile phone in the washing machine. Oops.
