kaberettReading. I continue my very slow Harrow the Ninth (Tamsyn Muir) reread, screeching delightedly all the way.
I tripped and borrowed an ebook of Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness (Peter Godfrey-Smith) from the library in a bout of insomnia, while actually attempting to check whether they had any interesting-to-me books on mindfulness; I have read the first chapter, about hanging out with giant cuttlefish and also a basic introduction to the concepts of evolutionary trees and philosophy, and so far I am charmed.
yánasenesse. So far I am one sentence in and have gone and pestered the author to go into more detail about two words. I am hoping the rate of Pestering For More Detail will drop off rapidly because this fic already has a lot of words and is very much a work in progress. (The words in question were "midday" and "sixth", for those of you playing along.)
Making & mending. Fruit cage further reconstituted, and all the bits of shed dragged to a single tidyweed-suppressing location! Because I made it to the allotment on my two miraculous migraine-free days this week. (There was A Lot of pharmaceutical assistance and it was much less helpful than I'd hoped overall, alas, but still. Two days.)
Observing. I did in fact see the bat on two occasions! And heard it again tonight, courtesy of the detector. The parakeets have been screeching a lot.
