Grumble. My first real taste of concrete Orange Cockwomble Shenanigans is miniscule in the scheme of things, but it feels like a personal insult. Because of that garbage gibbon, tariffs on books mean I can't order the study materials from Ireland that I've wanted for months. Mallacht Dé ort, Trump!

My happy moment of the day: doing some light research to get me in the creative mood, I just watched Lucy Worsley theatrically sneaking down a corridor of the White Tower dressed as a bishop. Ah history come to life!

A Gourdian Knot: what to do with all that pumpkin
I'm big on not decorating with food I don't eat. So for other folks who want to make sure they don't waste pumpkin, here's some ideas
*the easy one is pumpkin pie filling. Bake gourd, stick in blender with spices and sweetener. Good to go

As the season turns, I'm digging back into my winter projects: a steampunk book and the reworking of a steampunk comic series I'm hoping to relaunch next winter. It's fun to dive back into this world!
