Just some random moments from the last few days. Evening in the writing shed — the tempo of my days has shifted, with me mostly working in the morning and evening, and taking a few hours of rest time in the afternoon. Feels appropriate for summer.
I am very not good at resting, but I’ve been alternating reading Sarah Maas’s Court series (Kavi is reading the first one for summer reading, and I was curious; I’m enjoying them, on book 3 now, and did you notice that book 1 is totally a Beauty and the Beast retelling — it’s fascinating where the series evolves from there) and playing Don’t Starve, both of which help occupy me enough that I don’t feel guilty about not working.
Summer is drifting away, and in some sense, I’m not accomplishing very much — writing is going very slowly — but in another sense, I’m accomplishing becoming more sane, which I think is probably a good investment of time….
White wine with elderflower syrup and the last of the raspberries. Chicken and potato curry. A light burn from cooking, which I only bother to post because it looks surprisingly like my skin has turned to dragonskin.
Sri Lankan chicken curry recipe here (I added potatoes and chopped tomatoes to this batch, just because I had them on hand): https://serendibkitchen.com/…/01/sri-lankan-chicken-curry/
