It seems that I have finally found a routine again. Yesterday morning, M. le Maire and I sat down to finish this dictionary once and for all (and by that I mean it will always be a work in progress). We worked for probably 6 hours yesterday, filling in about 400 words. Last night, I calculated that at that rate, I will have completed the first run-through of the dictionary in three days time. To celebrate that occasion, I’m going to make myself the outfit I’ve been wanting to make for the last couple of months. I haven’t had an outfit tailored since the beginning of October, so it’s high time.
It’s gotten very cold here. Yesterday morning was freezing, probably about 50. (For those of you in cold climates, I realize that this doesn’t seem bad, but the air here is dry as a bone, and when a breeze picks up, it feels quite chilly indeed.)
My battle with the mouse continues. I’ve named him Warren to make him more tolerable, but he’s destined for death anyway. I set up a mouse trap last night, but the little bugger refuses to go onto it. I’m gonna have to find something more convincing than a peanut to tempt him with. He’s taken up residence in my suitcase, which is rather inconvenient for me when I need to get things out of it. I’m also contemplating getting a kitten, a) because I like kittens and b) because of the mouse problem. We shall see.
Other than that, I have nothing new to report. The sheep and I are in good health, and having a routine makes the time pass faster.
