A little wine helped me finish off the rough draft of my tenth book last night. I’m not looking at it again until Sunday, when we start the arduous editing process.

Ordered $80 for two gis, with tax came to $91.

In today’s edition of things I did instead of writing, I took the new (to me) still out for a sacrificial run, turning only the finest box wine into brandy.

Tomorrow we see what I can do with the peach wine I fermented.
