Best laid plans

[hawkwing_lb]

The plan for tomorrow is:

1. Make sponges for pear sponge cake.

2. Make (highly experimental) treacle gingerbread for the care and feeding of friends.

3. Hope like hell the treacle gingerbread is edible. Successfully not blackened mess!

4. Translate two more pages of the French Article From Hell.

5. Finish one of the two non-fic pieces I have ongoing.

6. Turn one of the two drafts I already have into a finished piece.

7. Stack piles of books-to-research more neatly. (Followed, most likely, by 7a: explain to other residents of this house that yes, this is as good as it gets unless I get a Tardis or a magic wardrobe.)

8. Wrap the things-to-be-wrapped.

9. Try not to freeze.

This is enough to be going on with, right?

I would be HONESTLY DELIGHTED to help with the article. I'm dictionary-less ATM but I can tell you about the weird syntax--it'd give me a reason not to talk to That Woman.

Since it's thirty pages long, and I'm on page four, I'm not about to turn you down. (The middle section is mostly a list of inscriptions with bits about Hadrian - cities, city-titles, cults etc, which is simple enough.)

I'm working my way through it, but on the principle of slow and steady catches the hare. If you could give me a hand out with the last five pages and footnotes 64, 67 and 75, though, I would greatly appreciate it.

It is indeed enough and more than enough..especially #9. Warm wishes for a happy holiday season!

And also to you!

Excellent.

I don't have your email on this computer--ping me at mine, and I'll send you a .docx (unless you prefer .odt or .doc) um...sometime tomorrow, probably. (It's 8pm here.)
