I have now managed to fall down the stairs (stone cold sober I swear), I seem to really have hacked off the universe, though it could have been a lot worse, coughing hurts even more now .. heigh ho....

Maybe you should go find a hobbit hole to live in. Those don't have stairs.

Are the latrines going to be overflowing soon? I haven't wanted to start up anything new with my characters interaction-wise if there's going to be action soon...

I was thinking about having the dung pits overflow this Day's afternoon. I've been a bit busy, but we could do that now. "Latrine" is a French word. Kind of like talking in Gondorian.

If you can think of a more apt phrase than "dung pit" I'm fine with it, but we shouldn't have our Eorlingas talk about 'latrines.'

After a week so busy I can hardly believe I survived, I have just read the most recent posts and a thought occurred to me.

Elempi, would the kids be included in the 'all able bodied' people joining them out for the work?

Could they be kept away?

I would say yes, they could be included and would be given tasks suited to their abilities.
