Wednesday, December 4th, 2024 05:54 pmHad another Don' Wanna Get Up day because everything hurt so much, especially elbows, so stayed in bed till noon, drifting in and out of sleep. Got up to find the snow that was to start midday had already fallen and my Good Neighbour had shovelled my sidewalk and walkway, which was nice of him. Was still a grey cold dank day that I've spent on the couch. My physio wants me to do sit to stand exercises, three sets of ten reps, but that is certainly not going to happen today.
Good neighbour didn't do my steps so I had to when I put my garbage out mid-afternoon, because for sure am not doing it tonight in the dark. I seem to have misplaced my broom so had to manhandle the shovel with my twinging elbows. Broom may be on the back porch, though I can't think why it would be.
Physio's mom flew back to Korea yesterday, just in time for that attempted coup. Physio was perplexed as to why Yoon wanted to stick his neck out to ban online comments. I'm a bit perplexed myself.
Books finished?
Lorac, Fell Murder
-- nicely done though a bit landscape-heavy. There was actually a reasonable reason for the murderer being who it was
Nicholas Blake, Thou Shell of Death
-- very nicely done mystery. Surely I've read Nigel Strangeways before, but though various of Blake's titles sound familiar, none tweaks the memory
Allingham, The Allingham Casebook and The Allingham Minibus
-- Campion shorts in the first, Campion shorts and weird tales in the second. Phone reading
Reading now?
Derleth, The Chronicles of Solar Pons
-- Holmes pastiche without the Holmes. Fun stuff
Blake, The Beast Must Die
-- another Strangeways
Next up?
Two more Nicholas Blakes in transit from the library, more Holmes pastiche on the Kindle. Really must start something heavier than whodunnits but will probably go for a reread of Thief of Time or The Hogfather instead.
