Summer is A-Comin' In
And we have globe artichokes—wOOt! 
But right now I have my first coffee for the working week in hand and am already into a day that involves:
* a meeting with WALL series map artist, Peter Fitzpatrick, to adjust the map for The Gathering of the Lost
* my SF Signal 'Mind Meld' on character to finish and send through
* my launch speech for Barbara Strang's The Corrosion Zone to complete as well
* the blog interview with Mary Victoria on Oracle's Fire to put together
* plus chasing down an Earthquake Commission cheque for emergency works that seems to have gone astray
* and sorting through the usual 101 emails that arrive of a Monday morning!
* And yes, indeed — somewhere in all that, the first pass proof of The Gathering of the Lost to get underway!
Right now, I'm thinking that I can't have worked nearly hard enough over the weekend—but that otherwise the situation is tracking pretty much as usual. And maybe I can use squeeze in another cup of coffee—which had better be black and strong!—before that map meeting!
