Really deep sleep

 When I finally went to bed last night, after midnight, Keldor and Charlotte were still sitting up watching TV. I slept deeply till 04:00, when I needed to run to the loo, and was very surprised to find Keldor asleep next to me, as I normally wake up, at least a little, if someone crawls into bed. I snuggled up to him and went back to sleep, waking just after 07:00, thinking I should get up, feed the cats, and take my morning vitamin. but then Skaði came in and curled up on my hip, and it was too cosy with Keldor sleeping up against my back and the cat sleeping my hip, and I fell straight back to sleep, waking sometime after 08:00. The cat was gone, but I could still feel Keldor next to me, so carefully rolled onto my back to not disturb him, and picked up my phone to see if anything interesting had happened in the night. 

 

One notification let to another, I heard Charlotte come up the stairs, go into the bathroom and turn on the shower, so I kept reading, one notification let to another, and soon I saw a FB post in the Fantasy books group looking for recommendations for "any good Historical Non-fiction or Historical fiction that would appeal to fantasy fans?" to which I started writing a reply:

 

For historical fiction that doesn't fit the classical fantasy category I love the [Alpennia](https://www.alpennia.com/books/series/alpennia) series by Heather Rose Jones. Its setting is Regency Era, not Medieval, and its themes are people learning to be true to themselves while living within the constraints of their society (and even, in some cases, trying to make improvements for others when opportunity presents, yet still working within these constraints). Yet, the author is also a fantasy fan, so the world building includes royalty, politics and intrigue, sword fighting, and even a system of magic that is totally plausible to the setting, as being well written with a rich writing style that transports the reader to that place and time. 

 

I was nearly done writing that when Keldor walked into the room, still wet from the shower, and I was very confused! It turns out that when he woke, a bit before 08:00 I was sleeping deeply and didn't stir when he got up, so he pushed his pillow up against my back. 

 

Since I had done the last of the spackeling in the soon to be upstairs loo yesterday, Keldor went up after breakfast and sanded it all smooth. An hour or three later I went up and swept up the dust and debris from the project so far, and we painted a coat of wet room sealer over the walls and roof. It is supposed to cure at least 7 hours, so we can't put up the Fiberglas wallpaper till after 20:00 tonight, which isn't going to happen that late, as tomorrow is a work day, so it will have to wait.

 

Yesterday I helped Charlotte cut out a hood, and today taught her the Ösenstitch, and then [[Charlotte's purple hood#The Ösenstitch done with the same fabric and yarn as she will use|made a video she can look at later]].

 

After we took Charlotte to catch her bus towards home I baked a [[Quick Breads#Oat bread>oat quick bread]], which was tasty still warm with a little extra butter, and I think I will enjoy it cold tomorrow as well.
