How’s everyone else doing? Lots of reading?
I’m enjoying some time off, mostly with adventures in the kitchen but also with reading. I’m sailing The Forever Sea, which was doing that thing of being perfectly serviceable fantasy but not quite clicking until a big set piece brought all the pieces together for me at about a third in. I’ve also let myself start season two of Bookburners, which is still ticking all my boxes.
Most exciting acquisition this week: the monograph on the archaeological excavation at the Ness of Brodgar (I passed comment over breakfast that if anyone was looking for birthday ideas, this was a thing and it arrived the following morning – from Kirkwall! Hats off to the postie)

Yay time off! I now have a day off each week, and I’m hoping it will translate into plenty of reading…
I wish the post here would be that speedy…
