Reading. Gideon M-K's series of posts on the Cass Review.

The Beatryce Prophecy, Kate DiCamillo. A Delight, feat. Key Character Answelica, A Goat.

Otherlands, Thomas Halliday. ALMOST FINISHED CHAPTER 12. :| (Yes I would like my brain to let me DNF this one. ALAS.)

Watching. More Farscape. I think I lost track of how far through we were and misreported episode numbers from last week? But this week we have had 1.10 (feat. reproduction) and also 1.11 (feat. reproduction and More Kink). I do not think it has become good yet.

Playing. Iiiii have tripped and fallen back into I Love Hue, as I think I have mentioned, on a new device, which means I was starting again from the beginning, and now that I am well into The Hexagons I have caved and bought the cheapest prism pack so as to buy my way back out of ads thus increasing the timesink properties.

I am up to date with Redactle. (Things went a bit wrong in November, and then more wrong the week of surgery, For Some Reason.)

Cooking. Baby's first Welsh cakes! A required A Treat, and was very pleased with them; we will have the rest for breakfast; I am not sure why I was quite so convinced that they were Difficult.

Eating. Holtwhites Bakery banana loaf cake, at the Green Bee Coffee Company van on the market, as part of...

Exploring. ... a bit of a poke around the New River Loop on Saturday morning with a visiting university friend, which was a delight :)

Creating. Have I cast on the gloves I very much want to have finished by April? A hollow laughing.

Observing. Two lanky teenage foxes, still hanging out with each other, halfway down the hill! Much larger than when they were curling up on our patio!

I had to look up what Welsh cakes are, they look very tasty! I may explore a vegan version.

Farscape definitely takes time to get better, but that's mostly because it takes time to introduce Scorpius, who is the character I enjoy the second-most (behind Pilot.) But I also think that Farscape is one of those shows that if you're not vibing with it, there's no reason to keep subjecting yourself to it, either.

Thank you for the link to the depth on the Cass Review, I think it will be useful to examine in greater detail. I still have my opinions about what purposes the report is being used for, and the somewhat immediacy of politicians using it for advancing their own agendas, but I will be interested to see what the report has as strengths and shortcomings on its own merits.

A adored it as a teenager so it's a nostalgia rewatch for them and I'm happy to exclaim incredulously while half doing my own thing!
