supermouseStill no word on death certificates, so I will be trying to get my head together enough to see if I can get the help offered by the British consulate to clear the logjam. Having had that idea, of course I haven't been able to sleep at all so I just hope I'm coherent and somewhat functional.
I can't imagine what it's like for Kira, who was very close and is the executor of his will and can't do anything without those pieces of paper, and who has of course travelled to a funeral and back.
Magpies have been by at 06:30, feeding time is always after 07:30, but actually there's food out. Once the weather is warm they really don't seem to eat nearly as much, to, like, a startling degree.
Also, setting f.lux to a level that makes playing games almost impossible late at night was a very good idea, but it's still irritating when insomnia strikes and every gem on Bejewelled is green or brown or deep orange.
I've read through the book I was working on in January. It's promising, there are problems but nothing egregious. The story halts just as Obvious Love Interest has dragged Protagonist over to an NPC and I have no idea why or what he was thinking, so I need to work that out (not happening today) and then flesh out the villains (also not happening today). At least I have a decent cast of characters and a decent setting to noodle around in.
The garden is very, very full of spring-flowering bulbs. Like, chocka. I made myself go out and look, go me.
I make myself ground coffee every single morning and have done for years, and yet it is still too many steps to 'just do', I always get stuck and have to work out what comes next, which I suppose wakes me up? There's a whole sequence of putting ground coffee in the Bobble presse, adding hot water and pressing a timer, that is distinctly hit and miss. Usually it's the timer I forget, sometimes it's the hot water instead, and then I've put ground coffee in some odd places before now. Or poured hot water into a random mug and wondered why I was doing that.
