@RogerBW I saw 600k to 700k somewhere. The whole idea is completely unworkable & particularly grossly unfair on working teenagers & carers

Weekend reading! I'm about to start A Radical Act of Free Magic by HG Parry & I can't wait. Her first book in this duology, A Declaration of the Rights of Magicians, was absolutely superb, so I have high hopes!

Synopsis to A Radical Act of Free Magic by HG Parry: A tale of revolution and wonder in a world not quite like our own, A Radical Act of Free Magic is the conclusion to this genre-defying series of magic, war, and the struggle for freedom in the early modern world. The Concord has been broken, and a war of magic engulfs the world. In France, the brilliant young battle-mage Napoleon Bonaparte has summoned a kraken from the depths, and under his command the Army of the Dead have all but conquered Europe. Britain fights back, protected by the gulf of the channel and powerful fire-magic, but Wilberforce's own battle to bring about free magic and abolition has met a dead end in the face of an increasingly fearful and repressive government. In Saint Domingue, Fina watches as Toussaint Louverture navigates these opposing forces to liberate the country. But there is another, even darker war being fought beneath the surface: the first vampire war in hundreds of years. The enemy blood magician who orchestrated Robespierre's downfall is using the Revolutionary Wars to bring about a return to dark magic to claim all of Europe. Across the world, only a few know of his existence and the choices they make will shape the new age of magic.

Just remembered the literal deer in my headlights last night on the slip road onto the M11. Fortunately, it had paused at the side of the road & it wasn't a busy time of night. I hope it didn't try to cross the M11, though. There's been too much roadkill around lately.

@PandaChronicle Edgar went next door to investigate because he's stubborn. Oisín started to follow but a firm no had him turned back & sitting on the deck instead. He's such a good boy most of the time

Earlier: rustling on the deck
Oisín: races up the garden
Me: Oisín, no! scoops him up & sends him to bed
An hour later, me: opens back door
Edgar: hi! Look at this!
Frog: hell no!
Me: Edgar, no! scoops him up & brings him in
Edgar & Oisín: spoilsport!

The great thing about cats is when you're exhausted & talking total gibberish, they purr as if you're making total sense.

Oisín: runs in front of me howls in anguish
Me: Oh my god! leaps onto one foot did I hurt you, baby? I didn't even feel you under my foot!
Oisín: woe is me! So much woe! I am mightily injured!
Me: but you're not limping?
Oisín: I said woe!
