  1. Some updates

    • There’s now video up of my Project Censored interview.
    • Over on Patreon, an entire new chapter about Hild—this one cut from Menewood for reasons of space, but honestly one of my favourites; I was sorry to let it go. It’s titled, “A Meeting of Old Friends,” and you can download it in PDF or epub formats. Enjoy!
    • We’ve had wonderful weather here in Seattle the last week. Things in the garden are changing:

    As predicted, the lawn became a carpet of cherry blossom:

    On the decks, the geranium is budding like crazy, the fuchsia is swelling but still not flowering, the jasmine is showing the first tentative signs of hints of flowers and the self-seeded wildly twisted snapdragon will, in my estimation, burst into flower sometime next week. There’s also been a sudden blooming of million bells (I think—wouldn’t swear to it), which survived the winter for the first time. Also, we’ve finally started to take the winter-to-spring wildness in hand and have cut back and tidied up the pots. Charlie is not sure he approves; on Wednesday, during the work, he just ran back and forth from deck to deck, yelling in general disapprobation.

    Meanwhile, in the front beds we have penstemon (being strangled by all the bluebells—well, we’re taking care of that today) and unlike the stuff on the decks, here the mini hardy fuchsia is already blooming. And across the lawn we have our first roses, and the part of the ceanothus (or bee bush as I prefer to think of it) that’s still alive is drawing the deep drone of bumble bees.

    In a week or two we’ll go on a shopping spree for plants, but for now things still look a bit bare, and Charlie is still grumpy about the lack of cover on the back deck.

    Don’t feel too sorry for him—he’ll get over it. Meanwhile, a variety of small beasties can breathe more easily while they go about their business…

  12. Çaturday: Today and in the Long Ago

    Today

    This is Charlie this morning—he’d already been out in the sunshine and was just checking in for hi mid-morning treats. (Hey, it’s how my mother ensured her peace of mind on sunny days when otherwise I would have run wild and not be seen between dawn and dusk: she promised a cup of tea and a biscuit whenever I came home. It worked. I decided if I as young hoyden had been trainable with bribes, the cats might be, too. So when we started letting Charlie and George out unsupervised we started a regimen of stopping whatever we were doing and giving them love and treats. It was during the early lockdown days of the pandemic; it was easy. Now of course it’s much more inconvenient—but they remind us, loudly, of the implicit bargain. And, faithful servants that we are, we stop what we’re doing and obey…

    In the Long Ago

    Over on Patreon I’ve posted two new images of Charlie and George as they might have been drawn by scribes at Hild’s abbey. George was easy—the photo I was working from caught him almost perfectly in profile, so it was fairly simple to translate that to Lindisfarne Gospels visual style.

    Charlie, well, Charlie has always been more awkward. I could have made my life easier by using any number of profile or head-on photos of him but I really wanted to try one in which this small cat looks like a massive panther with Resting Demonface. He ended up looking a bit Pictish—though his head is more realistically styled than any self-respecting medieval artist would produced—but I did manage to capture that expression. So all in all I’m pleased.
