It was already too hot to walk when I got up but without the sun beating down, I took the chance and went anyway. I’m glad I did. The clouds are already breaking up.

I talked about Spaceship in the Stone, my writing day yesterday (which was mostly reading and correcting), and how I seem to be stuck in a gaming rut by doing the same things over and over.

A 4AM wake up has me walking almost at dawn again today. I talked about Spaceship in the Stone, the state of the landscape, and boundaries I’m having to enforce.

Talked a lot about the Forbes series, Spaceship in the Stone. Some about the Loomans I’ve Got Time. Took a side trip to Lester Dent and did my best to stay in the shade.

Got the bread baked before sunrise. Talked about Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy, Los Santos’s Atomic Girl, and M.R. Forbes’s retelling of the Arthurian myth in The Starship in the Stone.

A cool morning off to a brisk start. Talked about Looman’s, Tom Watts, feeling calm, playing Enshrouded (still) and the usual blather about the flora and fawna.

Nice morning for it. Comfortable walking weather. I talked a bit about Loomans’s I’ve Got Time lessons – which I spent some quality time with yesterday between novels. Trying to work against the clock of the rising sun without feeling rushed. Trying to be in the moment. Interesting challenge. Also talked about Enshrouded and trying to play a mage.

Current read: Tom Watts: The Artificer’s Abode (Book 5 of Small Town Crafter)

For some reason, the recording paused at 11 minutes. I noticed when I got home and added the sign off. Half a talk this morning, I guess. Usual subjects but I don’t know which ones I hit first so it’s a grab bag today.

Didn’t have much to share. Talked about Loomans and Ferreira again. I’m still finding the Loomans perspective helpful and the Handyman series intriguing.

Mumbled about the grass and trees. The state of the rye.

I’m glad I wore the hoodie this morning. The extra early start coupled with a breezy and slightly overcast morning made for good walking.

I talked about Handyman again. A lot about the state of the grasses along the way.

But at least two in a row.

I talked about the difference between building a scaffold for my daily practice, expecting it to last, and the sand castles I’m really building that get washed away with the next tide.

Also Looman’s I’ve Got Time and Ferreira’s Handyman series.
