Reading. We've had a little more of 20020! We are parcelling it out carefully so we can savour the last few chapters. simont explained variations in the outfield in baseball fields to me last week, which has further improved my enjoyment of this amazing multimedia fiction.

Writing. The chunk of ch4 I was incredibly stuck on is now written to the level of informal sentences.

And bread! We just finished the last pair of 25kg sacks of flour, and are going, tomorrow, to need to break into the new pair. (50kg of flour lasts us about 6 months, so I am buying about that much about that frequently and otherwise not having to think about it and it's glorious.)

Growing. I continue small quantities of plant-maintenance at home. My first Big Packet Of Seeds arrived earlier in the week. I am going, damn it, to get this chapter redraft done and then I am going to spend some time with plants. :|
