Everything stays the same.\">Today it&#8217;s the Autumn Equinox, although autumn arrived here in the &#8216;shire a couple of weeks ago. We&#8217;ve been grateful for getting our first wood delivery in early; the fire has already been in use on the cold evenings as the nights draw in. It&#8217;s remarkable how quickly things change when they get going. It&#8217;s almost as if winter has attached a big bit of elastic to the sun, and while summer clings on as long as it can, eventually the strain gets too much and it snaps back. We&#8217;re in the penduluum stage right now, with cold nights and warm days, sudden showers and oddly hot, humid lunch breaks.<\/p>\n<p>The weather isn&#8217;t the only thing that&#8217;s changing. In some vague effort to tidy things up and make this blog slightly less disjointed<sup>*<\/sup>, I have started a new blog over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravenbait.com\">ravenbait.com<\/a>. I will use that to focus on my writing, leaving this blog &mdash; my home on the internet for 15 years now &mdash; for all the random stuff that fills in the gaps<sup>\u00c2\u00a7<\/sup>. I&#8217;m not a big one for cross-posting, although I&#8217;m not saying I never do it. I doubt I&#8217;ll take all the writing away from this site as it&#8217;s such a big part of my life, but I won&#8217;t be cluttering up the writing blog with Playstation posts, recipes, triathlon, wittering about adverts, complaining about Doctor Who (unless it&#8217;s a comment on specifics of the writing), gear reviews or odes to bicycles. And Stitch. Mustn&#8217;t forget Stitch.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ravenbait\/9852559095\/\" title=\"Writing buddy by Ravenbait, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5485\/9852559095_e40cf4d102.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Writing buddy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you come here for the velocipedes and the wittering, carry on as you were.
