I picked a lot of elderberries; last weekend they weren't really ready, but after a week's heatwave they were starting to go over. (At the moment I'm only getting about four hours' sleep a night, because the temperature in my bedroom is still over eighty degrees at four o'clock in the morning...)
Elderberry pie! (And, um, home-made yoghurt in its grainy state.)

( An awkward discovery )
I still haven't done any more typing/proofreading/editing on Arctic Raoul, but I did at least type up about half of "The Writing on the Wall" yesterday. Angst galore. (If and when this gets published, I shall have spent about three months on a single one-shot, which will receive a couple of reviews -- although I can't claim to have spent the excess of time on making it better, since most of it was spent either in not doing it at all, or in struggling to do anything!)
More unsolicited rewrites. Why is it so much easier to rewrite someone else's work than my own? (Well, that's one reason why people employ outside editors.)( Rum, no ice, bartender )
