One of the benefits of working as an academic is that you don't necessarily have to be in your office and on campus to work. Mostly, however, I do go to work, but every so often I like to WFH (work from home). And that is what I've been doing today. Working. From home. It's been a damned beautiful day (yet again) and I've been working on chapters for the reptile park history that I have been writing with a colleague, Nancy Cushing, for the past few years. We've had a bit of a radical change in our approach to the book's format which means paring back the chapters into smaller bite-sized bits of around 4000 words each. Anyway, so I've been doing that. The Man came to put in the doors on our wardrobe today and they look great. [Pic to follow in a few days.]
I'm also slow cooking today. 4 pork chops, some Border Ranges honey. Chicken stock. Curry powder. Onion. Potatoes. Carrots. Been simmering away for 4 hours with another 2ish to go. Smells very delicious. I have also just come back from fetching the mail and I took the opportunity to grab a dozen or so lemons from one of the trees at the bottom end of our paddock. What shall I make?
