Nearly there...
Dec. 23rd, 2024 10:12 pmDay Three began with a slow morning. The wind and rain of the previous two days had left, and weak winter sunshine bathed the world in its gentle light. Having dawdled abed upon waking, once she had broken her fast Rosa lost no time in sweeping up the detritus of the front garden, knowing that those hired to do the work would now not show themselves until after Christmas. With that task complete, she turned her attention to the kitchen bin, scrubbing inside and out before finishing the job with a fresh liner. The rhubarb scent of the bin cleaning solution lingered long in her nostrils.
Before she could eat her nuncheon, Rosa made the perilous journey to the hospital on the broadest green. Selecting expediency over adventure, she hired transportation rather than navigate the vagaries of the public bus service. She also chose to return directly to her home, leaving the purchase of the inevitable 'last minute bits and pieces' until the morrow. Upon her safe return, it was time to feed and water herself and Sheep-in-Wolf's-clothing.
Body and soul kept together for another round of the sun, she cleaned the floors with the assistance of faithful Henry, her companion in the War-on-Dirt for many a long year. A few drops of lemon and orange essential oils were sprinkled on the pad of the more recent, but no less faithful, assistant, the Steam Mop; one tank of water provided enough steam to reach from the front of the house to the back.
It was then time to relax with the help of Bully and Fletch, and to spend time with Sheep-in-Wolf's-clothing and Stronghelm. The evening meal was purchased from the establishment of a friend of Stronghelm, a magician who used spices to enchant his customers. With an offer from Sheep-in-Wolf's-clothing to do the washing up, Rosa retreated to her inner sanctum to face the wrath of Ultimecia!
Charging through the Castle, Rosa faced the sorceress... and was defeated, even with her god-like invulnerability. Taking a more strategic approach, she began again, picking off the guardians of the various powers and making frequent returns to the Sphere of Retaining Progress at the castle entrance. That journey will, Hyne willing, end tomorrow.
And finally, she completed her perusal of the adventures of Callum, Ezran, Ryla, Zim and their allies. She was left with the certainty that there is enough scope withal for a new series.
