Changes!
We now live in two households. In lieu of a Venn diagram, please accept this simple dramatis personae.
The Mousehold
Pyat
Koray
Eldest Child (Nearly 12)
Youngest Child (Now aged eight)
One elderly guinea pig
The Menagerie
Shavastak
Chrislynx
Velvetpage
Assorted animals
Velvetpage has moved in with her partner Shavastak, leaving the Mousehold to myself, Koray and the kids. Shavastak is also married to Chrislynx. The kids will be staying at the Menagerie a couple of weekends a month.
Why the change?
Lebensraum. The Mousehold could not contain so many people with so many possessions and remain a tranquil fortress of serenity. In My Father’s house are many mansions, but the Mousehold is compact and densely furnished.
Is everything… okay?
Pretty good. I would have preferred a mansion with distinct living spaces permitting everyone to live harmoniously and comfortably, but we are creating the best of possible worlds in the given situation.
So, what else is new with you?
I am no longer a reporter. I am once again a corporate writer and I like my new employer a great deal. I am in my 40s. I love my mates and my kids. I seem to have more energy and impetus for creative projects, more than I have in years. I am still shooting film. Indeed, in the next couple of weeks some of my photos taken with a 107-year-old Brownie Box camera will show up in a BBC feature article.
Also, I am editing the conbook fiction submissions for Furnal Equinox in March. Anyone out there got a story or poem to share?
