Tuesday
Tuesday morning and it’s a cooler and greyer day, not because of the clouds, which cleared in the early morning, but because it’s misty. My photo isn’t very good (in fact, it’s dreadful) as there wasn’t much light when I took it. The air smells different now, damp perhaps and fresher, and I’m starting to feel like summer is slipping into winter. It’s been an unusual October so far, in that the weather hasn’t been as variable as it can be, and I’m not sure if that’s a sign of a wet and warm winter to come or a dry and cold one. Time will tell.
Apart from the excitement of seeing the inter-island ferry coming in (see below), my days are currently filled with a final edit of the next Clearwater and the first drafting of the next Saddling with two books on the go, and a deadline for the proofreader for Clearwater on the 29th, a deadline I should have no trouble reaching, I’m pleased to say. We can expect that one out in mid-November, all being well.

That’s about all my news for now on this misty Tuesday morning as I look out on a clam sea through a no-breeze day where everything looks silvery. And now, back to the editing…
