I finished tinkering with chapter 27 over the weekend, and started chapter 28, although I haven't got very far yet. I should make more progress today and tomorrow, when it will be too hot to do anything outside. Then there'll be another pause Saturday, when we will be celebrating Midsummer/Summer Solstice. I've also been thinking about what needs to happen in chapter 29, when Gwernin et al leave the Lughnasadh Oenach at Tailtiu and return to Bru na Boinne. After that, chapter 30 will take them to the Well of Wisdom and some surprises, and chapter 31 will take Gwernin home.
We're getting a hot weekend for Midsummer - expected highs around 100 F. I'll be up around sunrise every morning for slug patrol and a watering round, followed later in the day by sprinklers. Happily things should be better for a while after Sunday. The zucchinis are blooming - male flowers today, but they'll be setting soon - and the tomato plants are doing well. I usually start getting ripe tomatoes by late July, and hope to have enough to can some this year.
