Week Notes 34
Doing
Caught up with a couple of friend's from university and helped one of them paint thier kitchen\dining room. Was great to see them both, just like old times without tremendous amounts of alcohol.
Continuing the theme, I made a start on repaiting my wooden frontdoor. I badly needed doing but I know exactly why I was putting it off. I hate painting wood and the constant taking off and putting back on door furinture is so frustaiting. Another couple of dry days are needed to finish it off.
I baked some bread, I used to do this weekly but stopped at asome point. Not sure why its no effort and really tasty. Going to try and get back into the habbit.
Listening
Reading
Started
- The Bang Bang Club by Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva Just started this and nearly finished it. It details 4 photographers in apartheid South Africa as they work in the violence that was going on. Just horrific.
Continuing
The Algebraist by Iain M Banks Making slow progress on this. Hopefully will make a good dent in it this week.
Interzone 299 Recently signed up to their Patreon, making my way through their last issue.
Finished
- The Fox Wife by Yangsze Choo Too long and drawn out, could have been (should have been) 100 pages shorter. The characters were wooden and there was little tension. It all seemed predictable.
Watching
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Boring, predictable. This is ultraviolence done badly where there are no stakes. It's poorly written with little character development. If I'd known it was a Guy Richie movie I wouldn't have bothered.
Twisters Decent enough but uneventful. Not particularly well written.
