loup_noirMy life: gardens and birds.
Not dead, just really tired from all the outside work. I can tell it's full-on garden season by the way my floor crunches when I walk around the house. Two people and one dog enjoying bringing the outside inside.
Currently beta reading for a friend, plus re-reading the St. Mary's series. For me, beta reading involves a whole different mindset than reading for me. I can only take so much at a time. My re-read of Jodi Taylor's St. Mary's series is great fun. I'd read the whole thing, plus her Time Police books, last year while the WBH was in the hospital. No surprise that I only kinda sorta remember it. This go 'round, all the little details and plot links make sense. I should be amused for months ahead.
Not really knitting. Summer is not a good knitting time for me; however, I need something during the WBH's radio show and thus I'm working on a sock. In worsted. Yes, totally cheating.
The garden.... All around the house are gardens, all of which require time and energy. Energy = back + elbows, with a lot of sweat and swearing thrown into the mix. It's been a season. My birthday gift to myself was a gardener, who has worse health than I do, or so it seems. She's managed about half the weeks she's been scheduled. When she's here, she's amazing, and her amazing has really helped. So, I created new projects, because what is life without projects, right? Those were going along just fine, until the Pacific Ocean decided to play really rough one day during a pelagic birding trip. There were many reports of "feeding the fishes" on the stern, while on the bow, my favorite place to be, the usual bounciness went up several notches. I went down. Twice. The second time, my shoulder and elbow took enough impact that there's been six weeks of misery. There are two more trips in a week or so, and one looks like it might be a repeat. The Magic 8 Ball suggests that staying home might be a good idea.
Currently watching Generation V, S2 which is, if possible, darker than the first season.
So, tell me what you're reading? Listening to? Watching?
