I haven’t even introduced Ilander to Prophecy of the Circle yet, but when I had an urge to put a pirate eyepatch on a character, he just seemed like the best choice: perpetually scruffy, eternally sarcastic, and probably very willing to walk off with your stuff.

We keep the heat off or really low as long as we can to save a few bucks during the winter (yes, in Canada – but it’s the “warm” part of Canada down here so it only mostly hovers around 2°C all winter and living in a chilly house is doable). I have become -extremely- fond of thick blankets, heavy sweaters, leggings under jeans, and good slippers with good socks.

I crave that cozy.
