Bugger! I've just lost today's writing. The first time I've managed to get a good run and it all disappears into cyberspace at the touch of a mouse button. Having saved the files into different folders, I decided to line them all up in one place. My mistake. And now I can't find one particular file, which contained the bulk of today's work. Only about 750 words but they were all very fine ones ...

I'm not going to bed until I get them back again. Because I'll never locate them on the computer, that means I'll have to recreate the three MS pages. Will it be easier the second time around? Ha!

And I just got soaked when I went out to take the leopard slug census. Just as I was leaning over the bird bath with my camera focusing itself on the wallowing slug, the skies opened and a 20-second cloudburst rained on me. It's stopped now, of course.

... but it pours.
