Long lazy baths are top thinking time and this morning was particularly productive as I reached three important decisions. I’m not conventional, I have never been conventional, and I am stopping trying to be conventional. That wasn’t a decision, that’s a fact.
Firstly – I’m getting married. This was first mooted in 2006, and pencilled in for 2026, when my ex and I agreed that if I am still single, we will remarry in October of that year. I say
we agreed – I told him, he agreed. I have now decided this
will happen, even if he has died or, worse, scurried off and married someone else: hopefully there will be a choice of grooms at that time. If not, surely by 2026 there will be suitable androids on the market. In the unlikely event I am already married, the lucky man and I will renew our vows. Sorted.
Secondly – I like being engaged. I
am engaged, I am engaged in a relationship. Engagement is, of its very nature, a transitory state, but does mean I can refer to my lovely man as my fiancé rather than the alarming connotations of ‘other half’ or, even more threatening, ‘partner’. Sorted.
Thirdly, and most importantly – I have written a book which is supposedly steampunk, but which I am now told is more Space Western. I don’t really like Westerns, so I was fretting about that. The water was nearly cold by the time I decided the book’s genre is future retro. SO sorted.
There is a movement called retrofuturism. I may adopt that as a tag to redirect readers. But future retro it is.
AND I am beautifully clean. A good bath, really.
I was going to post this blog in RL, then decided to run it here first. See if it gets any comments.

I’d been doing a lot of Zumba (puff puff) to shape up as the weight fell off and the FOTB wasn’t the only one interested. So that was one of several reasons that I joined CS, and I have had a year of talking so much every night that I kept forgetting to eat.
but hey, CS is an essential factor. You in?
