Having won the lottery AND come up on ERNIE within the space of two years, I have moved out of London to a nice two-up/two-down modernised ex-farm-worker's cottage in the country - not too far from town, though! The diabetic-complications cure turned out to have extra benefits for the arthritic patient, so I am fit and well, apart from mild asthma (which is *so* much better now I'm out of London!). I've joined a local archery club and am doing reasonably well as usual; my new-ish (five years old) car gets me to and from filk cons, friends and family, and the interest from my winnings is enough to live on modestly, despite rampant inflation. The freelance proofreading is also doing well, and few of my online customers realise just how old I really am (despite the evidence of my CV!). However, I still have time for keeping the Chronicles of Mershane tidied up.
I'm still knitting, and have learnt several new techniques, so I am now able to produce ever more eldritch items. I am considering a collaboration with friends on a book of out-of-this-world knitting patterns.
I'm wondering if I should have an extension built (there's a lean-to already...) so that I could host larger houseparties - as it is, visitors have to sleep in the second bedroom-cum-library-cum-computer room, or on the dining-room floor.
