Good morning Monday. Well we're off to the wilds of Campanario (Badajoz, España) today, so there probably won't be that much forthcoming from me this week. Have a good one.

Hey Thursday. My posts and observations are going to be even more sporadic than usual over the next few weeks as my brother and SIL arrived yesterday and the games have begun. In other news, draft 4 is finished, except for one scene I just realized I need to add. Sigh.

Morning Monday. Well I'm up to chapter 13, and considering that 14 is on the short side, I have serious hopes of finishing draft 4 before the visitors arrive. Yesterday was taken up mostly by the house not cleaning itself. Luna takes a dim view.

Hey Thursday. Still working on chapter 11, I'm afraid. Turns out I forgot to do a final read through of 9 and 10, so there was that. Good thing I did because I found a couple of rough spots that shouldn't have been there. Onward. Luna the Cat says "what?"

Good morning Monday. I've had a busy week working on Artefact (4th draft now up to chapter 11) and getting the house ready for the visit of my brother and sister-in-law next week. This week should be a little bit calmer, but we'll see. Luna the Cat says "that's mine."

I'm sorry, when a crossword puzzle clue asks for "Homer source?" I think Hesiod, not ESPN.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian family and friends. I know many of you will be celebrating tomorrow, but I can't wait until then to send my best wishes since it will be Spanish Day (Día de la Hispanidad) over here.

What's up #FoodFriday? Just a couple of photos from the neighbourhood. The giant bottle of Coto Mayor is from La Mula Coja. They've switched to this rioja for the winter. The zamboriñas and mollejas are from Rincon de Lucas. The former are a variety of scallop, and I won't translate the latter.

Good morning Monday. Update on the 4th draft: I'm up to chapter 5. Today I'll do a polish before moving on to 6. Of course, while I was out walking this morning I thought of a scene I should maybe add earlier . . . so . . . maybe I should stop going out walking?
October 6, 2025 at 5:15 AM
Hey #WordWednesday. Polished the first 3 chapters of draft 4, and naturally made a few tweaks and changes. I've also started switching out summer clothes with winter clothes, so that's taking up my afternoons. We'll see what happens today. Hello boots, long time no see.
October 1, 2025 at 5:48 AM
Good morning Tuesday. Well, that's chapter 3 done. Chapter 4 was up for today, but I think I should read over the first three for a polish before I go on. Also, the new Thursday Murder Club book is out and that may put a dint into working time.

Good morning Monday. Work on Artefact went on during a rather busy weekend, but at least chapter 3 is on its way. On another note, this is what we saw parked in front of the paint and body shop place around the corner. This is no fender-bender, we figure suicidal tree.
September 29, 2025 at 5:15 AM
Good morning Friday. Draft 4 of Artefact is coming along. I'm now half way through chapter 2. Probably won't get too much more done today as I'm going out for lunch. On the plus side? Mexican food. Maybe some photos for next Friday. Who knows what evil lurks in a couple of margaritas?
September 26, 2025 at 5:26 AM
Good morning Thursday. Despite being a bit under the weather yesterday (hello headache) manage to do edits on chapter 1 of draft 4 of Artefact. Hoping for the same level of output today.
September 25, 2025 at 5:16 AM
Hello #wordWednesday. An appropriate day to begin draft 4. I've just found a typo, "frozon." My problem is, I think it really should be a word.
September 24, 2025 at 9:13 AM
Hey Tuesday. Well, okay, that's Artefact draft 3 done. Last chapter's still a bit chewy, but that's what draft 4 is for, right? Right. Just need to make sure that everyone behaves like themselves all the time. And figure out what happened to the violin.
September 23, 2025 at 5:29 AM
Good morning Monday. Work on Artefact continues apace, but the real news for last week was the painting of the guest room. The blank spot on the print on the wall is reflection from the window. What do you think?
September 15, 2025 at 8:28 AM
Good morning morning. Spent most of the weekend on chapter 12 and making black rice for Sunday's dinner. of course it was half eaten and leftovers put away before one of us thought "crap, we didn't take a photo." So what you see below comes from La Mula Coja, it's not ours. Just to give you an idea.

Hey Thursday. Apparently someone objected to the cat-feeding station in our laneway and dismantled it. It's been replaced, along with copies of the 3 by-laws allowing that 1) these stations can exist, 2) they cannot be removed, and 3) the cats must not be interfered with.
September 4, 2025 at 6:22 AM
Good morning Monday. As the season for vacations draws to a close, there were many more people on the street and stores preparing to open than there have been for the last month or so. And, more personally, I'm finally back to chapter 11 of Artefact.

Luna the Cat and her new box. Ain't it the truth.
