Lie around with a good book, a cuppa, and the puppy!
Have finished the good book in the picture (Raising the Stones by Sheri S Tepper) but have a lot to choose from:
Peeps by Scott Westerfeld
The Falls by Ian Rankin
The Weather Makers by Tim Flannery
Wikinomics by Don Tapscott and Anthony D Williams
She by H Rider Haggard
The Face of the Waters by Robert Silverberg
Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson
… etc.
A terribly busy weekend, with two birthday celebrations and much running around after Paco. I can see how having a baby would mean that one’s life gets completely taken over.
I need another weekend to recover, and as for blogging - hah!
It was far too hot to do much of anything over the weekend. I spent much of the time lying around looking at pictures of dogs and reading (and sweating). I finished Ngaio Marsh’s Surfeit of Lampreys and the first of Anthony Burgess’s Malayan Trilogy, Time for a Tiger. (Might review this when I finish it. So far very evocative and enjoyable. Why on earth is it banned in Malaysia??)
I could have spent more time online, given that we bought a new monitor for me on Saturday. I am now the happy user of a 22″ widescreen Asus monitor. I am still amused by the number of tabs I can open in my browser without any of them disappearing off the screen (ya, the novelty will wear off).
I could also have spent some time playing with some new pens, but I went and left my pen case at work. I have some new pens from His Nibs (ordered before the Horror Week).
We also watched some episodes of Black Books, and the movie Hot Fuzz (silly but amusing).
Weekends without plans or scheduled activities are good.
