Update

New computer keyboard isn't quite like old one.

Same monitor but everything looks different and despite endless fiddling with settings, it's not how we want it but we're coping.

Garden is producing tomatoes in incredible numbers. I'm hurling them into a pot as is (peeling is totally unnecessary) and making vast amounts of gloop that goes into lasagnas, pasta sauces and soup, but the damn things keep coming.

Trip on Lake Ontario to watch the air show from the water was wonderful. Perfect weather, calm water, had a great time.

Kids went back to school yesterday. Astonishing amount of housework done before nine a.m.

Not really surprising that there was an improvement in things done as I've been getting up at ten all summer...

Eleanor and I have just three episodes left of Teen Wolf. AAAAAAH, so exciting and twisty-turny! Really enjoying the wild ride, though when it stops we keep thinking of plot holes, but never mind that.

Rereading the Provincial Lady diaries for the who knows how manyth time and came across the perfect quotation. She needs to make a dentist appointment so she arranges it for after the kids are back at (boarding) school:

Have often wondered to what extent mothers, if left to themselves, would carry universal instinct for putting off everything in the world until after children have gone to school? Feel certain that this law would, if it were possible, embrace everything in life, death itself included.

Couldn't resist one tiny little drabble even if I haven't finished watching S2 yet.


Silenced

The first time Derek kisses Stiles, it’s to shut him up. Stiles is loud, in his face, and this close to full moon, it’s unendurable.

Instinct takes over, but it’s his mouth, not his fist, that collides with Stiles’ lips, crushing them until they yield silence, and soften.

He can feel unsaid words push those lips into shapes his mouth twists back into a kiss, can hear the stutter-thud of a heartbeat, but what matters is the silence.

Stiles leaves running, eyes shocked wide, mouth slicked wet, but he was hard before the kiss ended.

He’d better come back quietly.
