Lockdown Update Day 124

[elisi]

We have 3 jobs on this planet:

1) To enjoy the exquisite beauty here

2) To love big & bravely

3) To care for one another & fight for justice & equity for everyone.

We have much to do on #3 now. But don’t neglect #1 and #2. You need them. AND they offer fuel for the fight.

MY friend's son caught her taking his lost tooth out from under his pillow and she had to claim the Tooth Fairy was furloughed.

And I, um, posted fic. Another crossover - much shorter, although there will be more:

Meet the Neighbours
Summary: Missy and the Doctor move to the South Downs. Aziraphale and Crowley are their neighbours. That's it, that's the set-up.

Finally, today's art. English sculptor Barbara Hepworth, 'Stringed Figure (Curlew), Version II' 1956.


Which reminded me that I have been waiting to share this article for absolutely ages:

Letters reveal postnatal crisis of Barbara Hepworth
Previously unpublished correspondence sheds new light on artist’s struggle to pursue career while caring for triplets alone.

I knew she was married and had children, but somehow I never realised that she had triplets!!

St Ives is LOVELY, highly recommended as a place to visit. It is nicest a bit out of season though as in the height of the season it is very very very busy. April/May and Sept/Oct are good :)

It's funny, because it's the first thing I ever wrote, the thing that spurred me onto writing the thing in the first place. And it's been simply impossible.

BUT I SHALL OVERCOME! I have structure now. And hopefully a SHORT chapter.

I have a feeling somewhere around there you offered to beta? It might be further down in the threads... (I have been writing this for SO LONG!)

yay structure!
The good news is that there IS a draft. The bad news is that it is so far a very basic draft. I will let you know once there is something worth looking at. ;)
