- Got Lowenna; went for walkies and a forage or two.
- Doors Open weekend adventure with K.
- Well into 90 Day Novel.
- Started Children of Time. Mind absolutely blown.
- A packed week, and didn't manage to get any "actual" work done (S&W, governancy stuff, Directors Meeting, admin...). I did go to an IATI Standard Stewardship WG meeting.
- Lots of meetings for other things. ENT. Pen Pals. VegFest seems to be getting some attention o.o
- Made rhubarb and strawberry crumble, and gf pear brownies in the Community Kitchen.
- Attended a nice Pen Pals event.
- Finished Seven Mercies. Happy to be back down to one book again.
- Went to a vegan market in Dundee to do some... market research. And some marketing. Ba-dum.

- Made apple peanut butter cake at the Community Kitchen, and helped out with a food workshop about reducing waste by using leftovers. Also lots of good mushroom things.
- Finally consolidated all of the G&S stock that has been occupying my living room in the form of a wall of boxes. Took most of the day. Much improved.
- Wrote and plotted.
- Hung out with Max.
- Ate puffballs that R left behind. Did a harvest.
I'm organising a vegan food festival in a small town and it's either going to be amazingly good or a heartbreaking failure. I'm currently very excited so the come down is gonna be hard when nobody comes :')
(The bar for 'success' is pretty low though as there is absolutely nothing like this going on here normally, so will be happy to eat a doughnut (doughnut baker is confirmed) and meet some new people really.)

A visit to EATS Rosyth on a rainy day. Hanging out with Dad and R and the kids, variously. Brisk November-style sunrises. Followed by strangely warm days.

Just the usual.

Walk to Wemyss with Wenna and Max. Both so needy. Some cooperation over stick destruction. Both want to do whatever the other is doing. Bugging each other all evening instead of just relaxing on the sofa. Wenna wants to sit where Max sits. Max only wants cuddles when Lowenna is there.

Me: why is it so cold, this is an outrage, September has no right.
Also me: lovely morning for a swim in the North Sea, off I go.

Just finished Children of Time and I'm absolutely floored. I can't function. That was the best possible ending. I cried. That was everything I want from science fiction. Can't believe it's taken a year of people recommending that for me to get to it.

Apple peanut butter cake at the Community Kitchen.
A food waste workshop at GK too, where we used leftovers from the day before to make all kinds of things.
I made a really good wild mushroom gravy, and ate it twice.
Battered puffballs and ate them with everything.
Forgot about the tomatoes in the dehydrator, and lost a few..

Max goes undercover as a potato. The aubergine plants collapsed so we just picked them.
