It's by Tom Gauld who does reading/writing/sf-ish cartoons, and I love them.

Finished off another X mas story and sent it off to my beta. Spent the rest of the morning, editing stuff she'd already sent back

“Probably not.” Mr. Humphries thought for a moment. “What about a nice sweater?”

“Are they British sweaters?” April asked, her curiosity piqued.

“They are so British, they must be washed in tea,” Mr. Lucas said. At April’s expression, Mr. Humphries murmured.

“Let’s not get carried away shall we?” To April he said, “The exuberance of youth. What size would you guess the gentleman? My size?”

“More like his,” she said, studying Mr. Lucas. “Rather broad in his chest.”

“Sweaters, Mr. Lucas!”

“Sweaters, Mr. Humphries!”

A drawer was plopped down in front of her. “Now these are of a more seasonal design. We have Frosty.” He held up a bright green sweater. “And then there’s Santa. “This time is was a red one. “Or we have reindeer.” He shook it out and April’s face went red. At her expression, Mr. Humphries turned it. Due to a factory error, it looked as if two reindeer were having an intimate moment with one another. He also colored and threw the sweater aside. “Definitely not.”

500 words today, and I've finished the chapter!

Here is a wee snippet -


As Mirieth had declared that Gimli should be able to sit on his pony “as long as he does not insist on getting off to look at ‘interesting’ rocks every few minutes,” the party would be setting off again the next day.

“Up into the next range of mountains – we really should think of a name for them. Haldir and Tindómë say they were climbing up for around four days, before they reached the watershed, and then there will be another two or three days down the other side before we reach any trees.

“But there is still more snow than they encountered, and whilst we won’t have to wait for Gimli to examine rocks, he will still need to stop more often than they did, to empty his bladder and to stop him becoming stiff. I want to see the trees – I want to feel them, and hear them; dance naked amongst them as Haldir did! We may have until the end of the world – but right now I want to hurry!”

Mountains for me too - I'm back filling in a gap before Everest's arrival on the scene, with the first people who tried to measure Himalayan heights. 161 words - I'm not going to try to do any more tonight, because my work wore me out today.

Unlike Lambton’s survey, with its carefully measured baseline as a starting point, these measurements were very inexact – made from an uncertain height and over a not particularly certain distance, and with an unknown amount of refraction.
