I skipped a week. No excuses, just my apologies for getting so caught up in real life chores that it slipped my mind to actually write anything for the site diary.
In penance, I wrote up another of those pseudo-mythology flash collections, one that I’ve had notes for since the last one. I hope you enjoy the Broken Promises theme. I’ve actually created a category to go with that now, as I’ve now written five of them and it’s likely there’ll be more at some point. (Just not today.) They should just about fit together with just enough things that aren’t quite consistent to make them feel “real” but I’ve been a lot more Puritan about the content than the various European mythologies I’ve been plundering to build them from. I’m also doing them “on the fly”, which means errors are going to creep in because I forget details. But let’s pretend it’s all on purpose, eh?
Sledge-Lit was once again a lovely weekend. I enjoyed my mini-break in Derby and the dogs enjoyed the jailbreak when I got back. We’re still having a bit of difficulty adjusting to Finn being three-legged. It makes walking all three together impossible for me – even though I actually no longer walk Finn on a lead. His pace is lollopy and uneven (as you’d expect) so keeping a good length on the lead is difficult and he gets jerked around far too much with a step or two, either because his lollop has taken him too far forward or he’s paused between steps. Anyway, as a result of needing to keep more of an eye on him and potentially having to carry him around, I can’t also keep an eye on two terriers. Walking the dogs takes a considerable investment of time these days!
For those following Plumtree [External Link], the first proper passage will be available to backers on Monday (10th), and I should be back shortly after that!
Oh, and as we’re well and truly into the holiday season, here’s a Christmas-y non-Christmas song for advent:
