Shock tactics seem to have worked! Either that or the intermittent sunshine of the past few days is bringing me out of hibernation.
I've been blogging! Oh yes. I joined the A to Z challenge and have been blogging my socks off this week. I've been wittering about primary sources of various sorts, but I'm only up to H so far and I've already wandered off to rant about how the people who insist on only the very finest ingredients too combine in the delicious dishes they casually throw together in their designer kitchens think the farmers who produce those ingredients are a bunch of know nothing hicks who need to get their act together and be efficient. Only since it's me it's less of a rant than a mumble and I'm very aware that a lot of people who love to cook support the producers. Any how, if you're interested in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, Bayeux Tapestry, Colours, Dragons or Edward II the posts are on my other blog, where I try to be all professional, like, and not me.
I'm also doing the Camp Nanowrimo thing where you can nominate your own word count for the month. I chose 25k and am not keeping up but have already written more in 7 days than I have in the whole of Jan Feb and March put together! I'm writing Eleventh Hour again - British secret service ramshackling their way around London in pursuit of an anarchist cell in 1928 - and cracking on with a scene each day. Snippet below the cut.
