some good things

[kaberett]

One: the Greens now have five seats on my borough council, up from none. We have gone from a Labour council to no overall control, which is not the Tory majority we were braced for. No Reform candidates elected.

Two: we took ourselves out on a walk this evening; A spotted a deer, we followed it further into the trees, and spent a fun little while following deer (&c) paths through what looked like... they might perhaps once have been greenhouses on half-brick walls? but with proper big trees growing up through them now and zero evidence of any glass or metal frames or anything remaining! Had no idea that was all in there; hurrah for Tiny Explore :)

Three: I have got my bike baaaaaaasically back to working order (I might need to replace the rear brake cable, which is tedious, but braking is actually extant), and am looking forward to taking advantage of the increased mobility it provides!

Four: spent the afternoon inhaling the new Murderbot. That's definitely a Murderbot.

Five: more rye-caraway-poppy bread, including an end-of-loaf with my mother's fig jam and the fancy goats' cheese I got to have with asparagus yesterday. (The nice shop human warned me that it was best before the 11^th, and was that okay? I explained that that Would Not Be A Problem. I am very much enjoying causing it to Not Be A Problem.)

Rye-caraway-poppy bread sounds *very* good.

Oh, did you buy a US copy of the new murderbot? I excitedly went to order on release date, realised I'd already pre-ordered, then also realised the UK release isn't until July.

Yay for many cool things, especially tiny exploring - I always love those.

Nope, bought the (DRM-free) ebook from Kobo!
