Ted would like it noted that I am not allowed to leave the house at all ever again, except for taking him for walkies. He will be enforcing this ruling personally.

UK Gardeners, do you know what critter would steal sweetcorn? I came home from worldcon to a Mystery Corn Massacre...
Stalks are bent & snapped, several ears are gone, the few that are left have husks pulled open.
Urban foxes tend to be safe bets for these kinds of things, but I truly have no idea!

Time for NERD PROM!!

Just had to tell Willow she can't actually come to WorldCon with me. Willow says I'm the asshole.

Worldcon-bound friends, remember to stock up on masks and covid tests before the con! There's been a ton of covid at SDCC, and personally, I'd prefer to keep away from both regular con crud and whatever the current new and improved covid flavour is.

Last year was my first gardening season & I only got one tiny winter squash per plant, but this year, I got a very nice harvest. Look at my butternut squashes!!

I finally couldn't resist anymore, so I went & harvested my last three red kuri squashes. They're a bit on the small side but I'm super happy with them, given they were planted a little late & the weather has been so weird.

You can write while travelling, you can't pack while travelling...
