Tess reports she got two walks, ball play, and afternoon tea in the garden. That's more impawtant than Ryn being slightly behind schedule with the #NaNoWriMo novel.
Ryn simplified her Patreon to one tier at one low price and added more rewards.
Have a pawfect evening furends.

From my journal - earlier years.

The country or the bush offers a quieter and more peaceful way of life compared to the hustle and bustle of the crowded cities.
Picture
I was all dressed up to head out when the rain came with a roar, in sheets, of water.  The gutters could not cope, and it was towels to mop up as water ran down one internal wall. No damage done; I heard that all my neighbours had similar internal leaks, as the gutters could not handle the volume of water. 

Outside the gutters were swirling in water, which as the gutters filled with leaf, and branch litter washed along the open drain, it blocked them and a flood was rising over the road in front of us.  I put the computer on, and they were predicting flash flooding in our area, it was happening in front of me.
Picture
The rain settled, but the flood kept rising as water flowed down the drain and banked up where it was blocked. Then I saw a lovely senior woman from a few doors down from me with a leaf rake pulling at the branches and leaves trying to clear the gutters in the rain. I went and started clearing gutters with her for a while; we had a great chat, and then I convinced her to stop and go home, promising I would finish the job tomorrow when it was not raining.
Picture
I stopped and had dinner; this is when I am glad I have healthy pre-cooked dinners in the freezer ready to thaw and heat. Four-minute noodles, chicken, and vegetable stew, lovely.
Picture
The rain stopped, I returned to the ditch clearing work. After I had piled all the leaf litter and branches on the bank, I carried it over to my beautifully soaked garden and piled leaf litter mulch 200cm deep over my entire front garden. This leaf mulch was high payment for my work that quantity of mulch would have cost me $100. easily and what better quality is there than aged leaf litter. A gardener’s dream and a splendid workout.  

The gutters are flowing, and the water is draining away into the nearby lake.

I was so hungry when I finished; I tucked into a big feed of prawns and cheese on dry biscuits for a second dinner.

    'OLD STYLE'
    COZY MYSTERY

    Age 50-Plus Main Characters

    'Old style cozy' as in not a witch, or a cat, or a bad boy alpha male (the type this older author would kick in the groin rather than have her heroine fall for) in sight.
    That's the type of soft-boiled mysteries, and fifty-plus, older woman heroines who expects a man to treat her with respect, that Ryn Shell writes.

    Soft-Boiled
    Mysteries

    A cozy mystery is a good mystery novel without violence shown in the explicit detail of blood and gore and gritty details.
    The stories feature an  amateur detective and often take place in a small town or community.  If sex occurs in the story, it is either alluded to, or takes place behind closed doors in the older style cozies.

    Learning to run at 64-years. What did you learn to do later in life that your young-self lacked the belief that they could do?

    Staying independent and mobile, to be able to get myself out of a chair without assistance is my superwoman stunt at age seventy-five.
    Being blessed with an active and functioning mind, I can live with a mature age disability. I see this time as ideal to write mysteries full-time, tapping into a wealth of experience.

    Ryn, above, enjoying the gray (gray with an a for active) nomad life at age 64.

    Gray Nomad Reg Shell walking 12,000 steps a day beside the Balone River, at age 70. back in 2010.
    Reg is still my partner in life and my love, although he lives in aged care. We have marriage by iPhone messenger, and visits.
    Reg approves of my plan to write romantic suspense once this cozy series is finished and published. He thinks my writing steamy sex scenes will keep me out of mischief.
