Reading. Solutions and Other Problems, Allie Brosh. Finished, as a Shared Reading Experience. She... is less okay than I'd hoped and more okay than I'd feared.

The Painted Garden Cookbook, Mary Woodin. Finished. I remain indignant about reuse of illustrations and glad to have read the thing, but it's gone Back In The Charity Shop Pile because I really don't care about any of the ingredients.

Blackberry Cottage: Cakes with Secret Ingredients, from Aubergine to Zucchini, Kate Saunders. Finished (the first pass for EYB Indexing), with reread (for proofreading) to follow. This one I am going to keep, and possibly even cook my way through. It is pretty! I'm curious! Who knows, maybe I'll even like it.

Forgotten Fruits, Christopher Stocks. Having said I was going to DNF this I have instead kept reading and continue frequently outraged, by such claims as Cabbage Has Never Been In Fashion. Life is too short AND YET.

Index, a history of the, Dennis Duncan. Little bit more progress on this.

Watching. Another Farscape, while bleaching A this morning. ... I am so unconvinced by the D'argo/Chiana thing.

Playing. The Tukoni: Forest Keepers demo. Once again a very soothing delight: potter gently about making other forest creatures happy, in a setting of gorgeous art. Exactly what our frazzled nerves needed.

Quite a bit of Fluxx.

Cooking. A butternut squash and quince stew with pipián, courtesy of the Wahaca cookbook.

Eating. A picnic of misc takeaway from Hammersmith station complex on Saturday afternoon! Ben's Cookies! Strawberries! Pizza Express this evening because No!

Exploring. The Autumn London Pen Show, where I spent only the planned amount of money on the planned thing and was delighted with the outcome. :) Little bit of a poke around Hammersmith followed by the Westfield centre thereafter.

Growing. Spinach! So much spinach! I am starting to harvest it. I am very pleased by this. And of course SAFFRON of which there has been LOTS (i.e. I might have enough home-grown saffron to make one or possibly two recipes, which is vastly more than I've ever had before and Extremely Exciting).

Observing. The bat! Possibly even two of them this evening, definitely not gone to sleep yet.

Yeah, that about covers it.
