The equinox has passed, and I'm now spending most of my waking hours in slipper socks again, as well as some of my napping ones. Warm feet yes.
A spent a bunch of Wednesday-I-think evening Fiddling Around With Electronics, and now we have a bluetooth speaker that can be hooked up to the bat detector such that the latter can be left outside the other side of a closed door leaving the former to Chitter at us when we should be looking outside for BAT. It turns out they are active much later than we'd quite realised, being as they're quite difficult to actually spot once it's actually dark.
Supervisor meeting today a combination of cheerful and useful. I have managed over the past week to actually work out what I'm trying to say with these last two chapters, or at least what topics I'm trying to address, and while I'm still shuffling sections around I'm mostly managing to remember that all the thinking I'm doing about it is useful thinking, and the back-and-forth is in fact progress even if it doesn't look like much.
A Made A Request yesterday for Quiche Dinner, which I never get around to making just-for-myself, which meant that since I was making pastry I had Might As Well make enough to make a dessert pie as well, which means that for the past two nights we've had cheese-(allotment)tomato-(allotment)onion quiche, served with boiled potatoes and parsley (tastes like home) and, variously, more Cosse Violette and more roasted cherry tomatoes; with apple-and-(allotment)jostaberry pie with optional home-made vanilla ice cream for dessert.
I bought a pot of Supermarket Basil in the last-but-one (or was it the one before that?) grocery order; I soaked it in water, separated the plants out, and dumped them in a trough with some more space and a lot of (home-made!) compost. They appear to have mostly survived and taken, and I am crossing my fingers for managing to keep this batch alive a little longer than I usually do.
