Not going anywhere this morning - I need tea, and my feet are going numb, but there is snoring. She is very warm, and surprisingly heavy for something mostly fluff.

Been writing a bunch of exposition and in-depth character stuff on the serious book recently, so switching it up today with the fic, writing a very violent fight for Monster bloke. Six foot plus of muscles and bad temper in a fight club arena. He‘s finished punching things, and picked up a sword.

So - finally had my post surgery review re huge chunk of thyroid removed. All Clear. 🥳 Got a blood test next week to see if I need any meds, but I’m basically boring. All the WTF it was came out clean, I am so relieved.

Game casserole, with a sloe gin gravy, and a potato-celeriac mash. It tastes of chestnuts and the kind of homemade happy juice that brings regret. (But not while eating it)

*sigh* Post surgical review cancelled until next week, so another seven days of nervous waiting. I no longer look like a botched beheading, but I’d like to know results soon.

Braised short rib is fork tender. I am eating it with one elbow out to prevent a fluffy ginger marauder sticking her paws and whiskers in.

Beef short ribs on the go. This pot was already old when I picked it up second-hand (at least) as a student! Two temps only, no timer, solid stoneware inside, a beast to clean, will probably break your foot if you drop it.

Forgot to lay in sweets for tonight, so have cravenly turned off lights and am hiding from screeching kiddies outside.

He’s a lone wolf P.I, she’s a museum curator, and together they find themselves dodging cops and mobsters through the streets of 30’s Hollywood when instead of a mummy, there’s a dead crook in a box.

Just evicted the third(!) rat of the day. (One dead, two…not) Cat is so very pleased with herself. Behold the face of one who wishes to be released to kill again.

That kind of a day. Beef casserole with about half a bottle of red wine in it, horseradish dumpling, and cabbage cooked in the remaining cream-peppercorn sauce from yesterday. (Rest of the apple tart afterwards.)
