The plot is shapeshifting faster than a doppelganger at the moment, and I am having it all on to keep up with it. And I'm super tired (hence why I slept in this morning). I see some major editing of the last few chapters in my future... #AmWriting

This is your occasional reminder that I absolutely love the SCA. Yesterday I started geeking out about fountain pens and fancy ink on the scribal Discord server and *everyone else joined in*. ❤️ #sca #scribal

This is basically the mediaeval version of my cleric protagonist, Nivaunel. When confronting evil, she doesn't lose her cool. She just punches. Hard. #mediaeval #marginalia #writing

I've nearly finished chapter 11. The sequel is probably going to be longer, and definitely more complex, than the original; there's just so much more going on. Oh, and all of a sudden we've got an intelligent sword with a burning desire to slay undead (it finished off a ghast last night, so right now it's happy). I hadn't predicted that myself, but... OK, fine. 😃 #AmWriting

Many thanks to everyone who sent good wishes and hugs. We're all coping pretty well - I mean, she was 87, she wanted to go, she'd been bedridden since October, we knew it was going to happen sooner or later. But still. More than anything else it's just *weird*.

I may be rather quiet for a while. I've just lost my mother. It was not unexpected (she's been bedridden and very unwell since October); but she's survived so much that it still comes as something of a shock.

The engineer is coming to do my "annual" boiler check in a few minutes (it's always less than a year). It's always more hassle beforehand than it is when it's actually happening; they keep texting repeatedly to make absolutely sure it's still convenient. Believe me, I'd have said if it wasn't!

Well, after going totally bananas yesterday, Sibyl seems to have settled down pretty nicely. I'm sure it's a stress thing. Let's just say I do still have a mother, but she's now been referred to the Hospice At Home people (since Sunday morning), so... fill in the blanks. It does mean both my sisters are now getting a decent night's sleep, as they aren't having to sit up with her because the Hospice At Home people send someone round to do that. I'm really impressed with how swiftly they sprang into action.

Sibyl is insane this morning. Usually she's quiet between some time before I get up and, at the earliest, just after lunch. Not today, though. I'm so glad this didn't happen yesterday - I'd have had to duck out early from church!

Our new paladin's player doesn't speak English terribly well, so I'm really impressed that he's playing at all; it can't be easy for him. But it can also cause a lot of confusion. He typed that his paladin was carrying a "holly symbol", so of course I thought, oh, right, holly is sacred to him, then (he hasn't yet made clear which god he follows, if any). Then he started describing it... and the penny dropped. He'd meant "holy symbol" all along. I should have, if you'll pardon the pun, twigged! #dandd

Oh my. I appear to have landed a book collaboration. I have, however, made it clear that things are a bit busy at the moment, so I can't start in earnest till May; that isn't stopping either of us having random plot or character ideas, though. (It's mostly the other party with the plot and me with the characters, which is pretty much par for the course and should make for an excellent collaboration!) #writing

So, you know that parcel that was "delivered" on Monday? Turns out it actually *was* delivered. Just not to this address. It was delivered to the same house number, but in a street on the other side of town. And the very kind lady who lived there took the trouble to bring it round. I was, naturally, most grateful. Our regular postie is brilliant. This substitute? I wouldn't trust him to deliver a five-minute monologue...

This isn't exactly marginalia - this is a full-page illustration. But I thought it was worth including, because illustrations of female scribes aren't actually as rare as you might expect. This one's 11th century and probably a self-portrait (female saints are sometimes depicted writing, but this figure has no halo). I have a few and this is probably my favourite.

My regular postal worker is brilliant, and of course she deserves a holiday from time to time. I just wish they could train someone to the same standard to cover for her when she does.

I ordered a book last week. It was "delivered" on Monday, apparently. However, on this occasion, Royal Mail has stretched the meaning of the word "delivered" to cover "the postal worker failed to ring the buzzer and left the parcel behind someone else's wheelie bins".

Investigations are currently under way to determine exactly whose.

I am currently making accidental parkin.

Well, the thing is, when I first made it, it was supposed to be date and oat energy balls with a bit of ginger. But there was far too much liquid in the mix, and I thought "well, I *could* add more oats, but if I do I'll be eating this for months." So instead I just threw in some raising agent and bunged it in the air fryer. The results were good enough to be worth tweaking into a full-on parkin recipe.

Next in the occasional marginalia series: the Combat Snail. This motif is astonishingly common - I have at least five different images containing it. Nobody really knows why mediaeval scribes liked drawing knights fighting snails so much, but they really did.

Our tech lead at church is called Rich; but he's not always on duty because there's a rota. This morning, the person who should have been doing tech didn't turn up and was uncontactable (turned out he was all right, in the end, but he'd had some sort of emergency); some of the music group got it sort-of-working, but there were problems that needed fixing.

So we had to get Rich, quick. 😁

Oh, how I love my slow cooker! Right now it's doing a curry for the next few weekends (maximum nom for minimum hassle); and at some point next week I'm going to make seitan in it. I really thought I'd never be able to make that again, due to the long simmer time; but with the slow cooker I don't have to supervise it, so it's fine. 😃

I think I'm going to do an occasional mediaeval marginalia series for your entertainment and diversion. Let's start with this one. It's from the Maastricht Psalter (14th century), and it proves that cats never change! #cats #spinning #mediaeval #marginalia

The most extraordinary thing happened the other night. I was chatting to an artist on a Discord server, who had shared some of her work. And I'd been telling her about this book I've just written, and how the four main characters were based very closely on my three best friends and me. She thought that was really sweet. So she wants to do a portrait of the four of us as these characters. And all she wants in return is some local clay she can render into pigment. I can't begin to say how grateful I am. Please, just stop doomscrolling for a moment and reflect that there are still people like this in the world. Thanks!

I have plot bunnies hopping around wanting to be turned into a sequel. I don't have time to do that at the moment, so I am herding them all into text files and sticking them away safely. Separately. So they don't breed. #writing

If you're on AO3, beware: the latest scam is bots pretending to be people who love your work and want to do an illustration for you... but you're expected to pay for it. Once they sucker you into paying, you either get nothing at all or AI "art". Ironically, I did recently have someone try this who was probably a genuine (albeit very pushy) artist. Even so, the answer was still a firm no. I put a lot of work into my writing and I allow people to read it free of charge, so I'm absolutely not paying for unsolicited embellishments. #writing #scams

Yesterday I discovered that the thing I've always called a "flexible curve", which is a bendy ruler used in sewing, is also called a "Lesbian ruler". I was mystified by this and asked how it got the name, to which someone immediately replied "because it's not straight". I had barely finished laughing when someone else posted the true explanation. Apparently it was invented on the island of Lesbos. Well, there you have it!

I've had a few new followers recently. And I will usually follow back, but if I don't it's because either:

1. You have nothing on your profile and no posts. I want to know *something* about who I'm following.
2. You have nothing on your profile but an OnlyFans link or something that indicates you're here for dating purposes, or all you post is nude selfies. Good luck, but I'm not interested, thank you.
3. You think some people's right to exist, or to live in peace, is up for debate.

Also, please don't DM me until we've had some public interaction, otherwise it's weird. Thank you!

Oh... oh my.

There is a website in the UK which is entirely devoted to penguins. Cuddly penguins, penguin socks, penguin notebooks, penguin mugs... penguin anything, basically.
