I have lots of stuff buzzing round my head. I don't know how much will make it into the blog. I don't know how many of you would speak to me if it all did. I have *lots* of stuff buzzing round my head.

There are the articles for Steam Engine Time, all proofed and ready to go. There is the safety of family sleeping in bomb shelters and the joy of teen text messages from other family to my mother "Yo Grandma, stop worrying." There is Donna dropping in for coffee and deciding we needed dinner and Star Trek. There is an incident involving Apicius and whether cypress is actually edible. There was (and will be) much pondering on what shape universe I use to define speculative fiction for the Middle Ages before I sort out an article on women and speculative fiction and the Middle Ages. There is an idea for a novel that keeps shoving things aside and saying "I need ghosts", "I need folklore", "I need lots more attention." There is Continuum, where I will be on the super heroes panel and the young adult panel (Melbourne, 2 weeks - yay!! friends and family and more friends!). There are sparkling new books saying "Review me. Come on. You know you want to." There is starting to think about next term's teaching. And then there is the story of yesterday where we flavoured chocolate with arak and where a possum grabbed a mould full of cooling deliciousness despite the vigilance and terrifying screams of the official guards (all under ten) of said chocolate. Kaaron has the claw-marked chocolate to prove that the possum won and the children lost.

It was a quiet day. Truly.
