I've had a day of Doing ThingsTM. Shower (yes, I do most days, but also hairwash & epilating various bits of me), shopping - Jollyes pet superstore, B&Q for bonsai food, Sainsbury's garage to check tyre pressures (slow leak on the rear driver's side), Lidl, then home, lunch, haircut with my mother-in-law, then Asda, yard pickup, dinner, hosed down steps, path, doorstep. So now I'm having a sitdown and a lazy evening. The dogs have all kind of tasties and have had a stuffed hoof each which is keeping them relatively quiet.
Lots of thunder and lightning and torrential rain over the past few days. The dogs aren't bothered, fortunately. The birds look somewhat more disconcerted as the shelter under the tree out back.
Husband's ex-employers have settled out of court for his back injury claim against them, despite all the lying they did about it. He can't go climbing, can't do reenactment, can't do martial arts thanks to their negligence. The main reason he took the case out was to force them to look at their health & safety procedures (non-existant) and actually get them off their backsides to do risk assessments, put manual lifting & handling training in place, etc. They're still (as far as I'm aware) not great at it, but they aren't as completely head-in-the-sand about their legal responsibilities as employers. Of course, there'll be more bad-mouthing of my husband, I daresay, since that's what certain individuals at that company are like, and they'll probably dream up yet another way of getting some form of payback - as if having bullied him into a nervous breakdown and stolen his physical and mental health weren't enough - but we'll fight that as we've fought everything since they began their campaign of bullying and intimidation.
I've been plotting out an outline of a romance novel this week - I'm getting a feel for the two main characters, their setting, the shape of the story. Since I've done my shopping, maybe I'll actually get to some writing tomorrow... *fingers crossed* In the meantime, I've continued working on some short stories I want to finish, and my unfinished stories wordcount is up to 76,000 words, pretty much. So many things to write!
I've got a few more rounds knitted on my jacket; still haven't finished sorting out Rhube's neckband on that 5th Doctor jumper. Eh. Must get that sorted. And start knitting for next Christmas. Must also remember to call my parents, sisters, brothers, etc, since I'm a bit rubbish at doing so. But not tonight, since I'm pretty much about to stop making sense. Which makes this a good time to stop.
wait for it... DARY!
Oh, now I remember what I meant to say! Duh! I'm on tumblr, under the username ellenscult. As usual. Another day, another sandbox, but this time with more animated gifs!
