sakon76Edited another ten pages for classmates. Stopping at page 276/617, and 124,534 words. Finally in dragon country! And a scene setting based on my two visits to the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto.
Watered the potted plants tonight. Discovered that placing the heavy potting bench in front of the broken gate and putting a potted rosebush in the gap on one side and a tomato in its cage on the other still isn't stopping neighborhood kids from worming their way through and using our yard as a thoroughfare to the park behind us. There's a footprint in the mulch and the cage is bent, support pole knocked astray.
Fortunately, I have a plan. We can't replace the gate yet - the post it hangs from is part of a going-to-come-down-in-the-first-good-quake cinderblock wall between us and the neighbors - but I can sure as hell shut it permanently. I have zipties.
For now, though, I go poke at the Singer 101 and see how difficult it will be to get it working.
