Reading. ... accidentally Maggie Stiefvater's entire Dreamer trilogy.

And then my digital loan of Otherlands (Thomas Halliday) showed up from the library (after Some Time in the hold queue), and I am indeed making faster progress through it than I have been managing with the hard copy!

Misc children's books: The Enormous Crocodile (Roald Dahl), most of Florians wundersame Reise über die Tapete (Franz Karl Ginzkey), The Escape of the Krollsnork (Generowicz Witold).

Playing. Three rounds of Scrabble, most of which were absolutely dire on my part, but I quite enjoyed codA/fAYNES with the S on a triple word score.

Cooking. Experimental savoury tarte tatin that worked Sufficiently Well that A has requested More Of It, Please!

Also tonight: variations on lemon and curry leaf rice (plus cinnamon leaf) and squash with cardamom and nigella seeds (using pre-roasted and subsequently frozen non-butternut winter squash).

Yet More Biscuits!

Eating. Christmas cake! Many cheeses! Et cetera!

Growing. Made it to the allotment today (courtesy of A). Alarmed by the apparent total absence of my wheelbarrow, which does not seem like the kind of thing one ought to be able to lose track of! But otherwise things tick over and most of the pre-surgery-sown broad beans are extant and producing leaves...

Eeeep. Hope you find your wheelbarrow.

I didn't know that Stiefvater had written other books beside the Raven Cycle; I've only read the first of those, but I'll take this as a recommendation to expand my reading, thank you.

My absolute favourite of hers is The Scorpio Races!

I'll give it a go :)
