No, I have not given up and gone to a corner to curl up and die

I've been busy. Tomorrow is the Loch Lomond games -- at which Emma is not competing becuase she's busy raising funds so the band can go to Hawaii for the King Kamehameha Parade this June. (Kamehameha is almost as difficult, in its way, to spell as piobaireachd is in its way). But I am going to the Loch Lomond Games to raise money for the same trip. ( boring details )

It means that I have done next to no writing this week, either on the fluffity fluffity story fragments or on the novel thing. But I have been reprewriting the rest of the Candelario entrance in my head, when I am moving between things.

Another distraction -- racking wine. ( more boring details )

Cloud cover every night, but nothing more than drizzles. I'm looking forward to getting that First Big Rain, and getting the First Flush water measurements over with.
