Morning all

Am feeling much better today, not having spent most of the night lying awake shivering in withdrawal from the super-meds the hospitalo gae me. That was horrible!

No, I spent last night ... asleep :)

Which was nice :)

Glad I got good feedback from her royal snarkiness, and one piece of constructive criticism and that about a word I'd already removed in my final redraft :)

So, Devonian refers to a paleontological discovery in the county of Devon to everyone except Devonians themselves who use it to describ themselves. Oops, that kinda gives my origins away, don't it? I'm an emit! Nooooooooooooooooooo ... (to the uninitiated: that means one that has emigrated to that noble self-titled country: the County of Cornwall!) All the way across the river, I've come. A whole mile and a half, in fact, from where I grew up, which to those Cornwallians that care (and they tend to live closest to Cornwall's borders) is worse than shipping here from Aberdeenshire! Trust me: that's Cornish logic for you.

Still, Pete's Cornish and his mummy and her mum and her mum and her mum and ... etc are all from the same wee Cornish village, so he's only half an emit! lol

Anyway, enough excuses: on with some work. I've spent the best part of this last month watching the crapometer on Miss Snark's blog. Too distracting!
