In which the marquise is possessed

New words: 788 -- I'm ramping up.
First line written -- The sense of wrongness still worked its sticky way down his spine.

Ambush! Owain's horse does not want!

I can see where the story needs to go in the next couple of chapters, and I suspect that some of the original first chapter may now go into the second. Though in an ideal world, the historical chronology would go the other way round. Sigh. And I may need to burrow through my work notes cupboard (which is huge) for 'The Seven Bishop Houses of Dyfed.'

My brain may have been invaded by aliens. Not only am I sanguine about history-into-fiction (which for many years has brought me out in hives), but something very strange indeed happened at lunchtime.
I cooked. For me. Just me, on my own, deliberately, despite the easy availability of real food (houmous). Braised mushrooms. I had a craving for them for some reason last night, so I bought some and I cooked them.
They were lovely. Not that I intend to make a habit of this (that way madness lies).
Maybe there is some kind of global cooking balance, and this is just compensation by the universe for the reduction in cooking in parts north of here, due to the indisposition of [livejournal.com profile] desperance?

Skirt of the day: still jeans. Recent weather leads to that.

Oh, you've got it! I was wondering where that had gone. (It has been known to cross the Atlantic on occasion, for a truly global balancing-act.)

Well, I'm glad it's keeping busy. Just don't startle the Marquis...

They were very good mushrooms, if say so myself.
However, in an ideal world, you would be feeling much better very soon and I would be eating houmous, probably.

I'll get fish'n'chips in more often if it means you both carry on cooking (the sacrifices I'm prepared to make!).

Does this make you a braisin' hussy ?
