*tackles hour to the ground*

Ooops, got distracted by doing a meme and eating lunch, though news reaches me of online jigsaws and...interesting causes of death...better luck next hour?!

I am trying to work up the energy to wash my hair. I think I may have something to eat and a cup of tea first though.

[glinda]

*cheerleads you* You'll feel better! (My hair was a greasy mess this morning and I did feel better for it no longer being that way.)

[naemsie]

I translated 1,548 words (target language) within the past 65 minutes. That's not too shabby at all.

interesting causes of death? Please share! :o)

[glinda]

That's highly impressive translating! Go you! (I hear that online jigsaws were a source of impending doom...)

[naemsie]

Thank you =) It's still quite a raw translation, but I'm not complaining at all.

Online jigsaws? The world is a strange place …

[glinda]

A raw/rough translation is still doubtless better than my own efforts - over the last six months I've started having to translate short scripts from my first language into my second language and it is hard so I'm highly impressed by people who do it all the time! Strangely compulsive things jigsaws, excellent/terrible for procrastination.

[naemsie]

Awe. Well, translating can be a real pain in the butt! You wouldn't believe the sheer amount of footnotes I have after the first round ^.^ That's my secret to being rather fast; I have a lot of polishing to do afterwards.

Jigsaws … *scratches chin* Maybe I should check some out … ^.^

A little over 700 words, my fic isn't finished, but now I'm off out to do some gardening for a bit.

[glinda]

Hooray, that's a respectable number of words! I too need to do some gardening. *glances sideways at herbs needing planted out* Good luck with the gardening!

I'm trying to cut the buddleias back. Done two, and I'm a little under halfway through the third and biggest. There's a forth, but it's not supposed to be there and I hacked it back hard in November. Naturally, it's flourishing.

Good luck with your herbs!
