    Well. Now we have a new toaster. And my burn hasn’t been so bad today. It’s still red and feels a bit hot now and then.
    As for the toaster. Well. We’re still getting to know each other. Mum tried it while I was asleep and burnt her toast. Because I like to do one slice at a time I tried it on a lower setting to usual (as the instruction booklet advises) but it wasn’t toasted enough to my liking.

    Well. In recent news.
    I’m now 28. So close to thirty that’s it’s actually kind of scary.

  5. Facts in Fiction

    by , 04-09-2016 at 07:42 PM (Memories of the 28th Century)
    Some writers of fiction are fastidious about the information they write, while others realize that fiction means that something was made up. If you know what sort of writer you are reading, then you can learn a lot from reading fiction.

    A good example of the fastidious type is the late, great Kenneth L. Roberts, who wrote such great novels as ARUNDEL, RABBLE IN ARMS, CAPTAIN CAUTION, and others. I have read that the description of the Battle of Valcour Island that he wrote in Rabble ...
