Made the deadline (5299 words total: about 3K today, all told)

[ritaxis]

So I made two deadlines in less than a week. I might be getting better at this.

By the way, nothing will bring tears to the eyes faster than standing beneath a blossoming plum tree,
while one's daughter plays piobaireachd inside.

That's great! I'm being very bad at any kind of deadlines at the moment, I know how good it is to make them!

(I'm afraid I also agree about the pipes. I think Scottish pipes should be listened to from a distance -- like, from the next glen :-). Oh, and I mean this quite literally: I love Scottish pipes, but they seem to require space and distance to "work" properly. Irish pipes are different, more of an indoors instrument.) And I would love to have a blossoming plum tree. A bit early here in Dublin, give it another month or so... :-)
