iguanaCouldn't blog, was reading Murderbot.
I finished Martha Wells' Network Effect (Murderbot Diaries #5) this evening and there really isn't any other series/author at the moment that'll make me drop everything to read a book. As the first full-length Murderbot novel, this one took me more than just a single day to read, and I'm hoping it'll be a bit habit-forming. I was already half-way through T Kingfisher's Summer in Orcus at the moment, which is excellent but I'd fallen off the reading bandwagon, I think mostly due to having built the habit of reading on public transport, which has gone away.
I got my four 04-in-04 stories up on fictionpress in addition to Dreamwidth, and posted a summary thread on Twitter.
Spurred on by the prospect of getting some wild garlic, I took two walks starting at around 05:15 on (bank holiday) Friday and Saturday mornings (twitter thread, second thread). They were both to places I haven't been before, and though I didn't find any garlic, I felt they were worthwhile. I've still been waking up around five, but haven't got myself out of bed in time to go walking. Today, however, I did have breakfast at five, then whirlijigged at a faster-than-walking pace for ten minutes before going back to bed. Unfortunately the bin lorries woke me up early, so I don't have data on whether that would have worked for me too.
Apart from that, it's mostly been online games with the usual suspects, bits of gardening, and not as much cooking as I'd like. I was intending to go out to get some fresh veg from Sainsbury's tomorrow, but I think I'll pass and use my frozen veg instead since grumbles about UK policy. I have at least found two places that have sold me yeast and baking powder respectively, so that pushes my stockpile back up to a comfortable level. Also in the post to me are some more seeds and a couple of face masks.
