Things I should do today

 Dishes, and writing.

Things I did today: bake brownies, and play with the internet.

The story with the next deadline needs more research before I can even start it, I think -- I know, I know, the research-hole, but I need to get a better sense of Polly's background, and of how she became the Rockinghams' sole cook-maid, when she is young, and probably wasn't more than a kitchen-maid prior to this. Likely enough, one of the Rockinghams' other servants knows her, or she worked in Caroline's grandparents' house. 

Also I need to know where a common soldier's wife would live, when the regiment was encamped in England. And I need to work out where Tim came from, and whether his parents are living, and how this might affect publishing the banns. And, txanne , and kebbykate , I know you can't get married during Advent, but can you publish the banns then, to get married right after?

I am going to go start the pizza dough, and do the dishes, and maybe have a brownie, and then I'll see about research and writing.
