Slow progress, but progress. Posted about the setting for the 30 Days meme. About 160 words, some editing yesterday's, some going onwards. This is shortly after yesterday's snippet, trying to find even vaguely interesting ways of describing snow...
...A neat wedge like icing sugar dusted over crossed swords had crept in at the window where one of the shutters had warped enough they didn’t close. The snow that had stomped in through the roof hatch without bothering to take his boots off was more like yesterday’s porridge turned out in the slops bucket. Hard to tell in the dark with an inch of guttering candle but the gate-crasher looked to have snapped a couple of rotten roof battens on his way to the party. Guess I was lucky it was just snowmelt that’d been drilling into my cheek.
