First post of 2016
I intended to post before now - but somehow have failed to do so - at some point there will be a post with my aims and such for the year, but not today.
So, it's getting colder (and there was snow in Cumbria today) but we've still got rain for the moment. It's been relatively quite on the storm front, yay. Work is settling back to normal (things are still weird due to the unknowns with all the council proposed changes, and the effects of the floods and sadly one of the peeps based elsewhere died at New Year, so the inital week was weird.)
I have a weekend off, and a trip to London (Crime Museum exhibition! Special curatorial talk about said exhibition *bounces* - plus Celtic Art exhibition at the British Museum, though those are Mon & Tues stuffs, sat and sun will be visiting with peeps).
I did not manage to read 100 books last year (closer again though, 85) - so that's an aim again this year. I'm planning to mostly read books written by women/poc, and books with female/POC/LGBT/disabled main characters, though I have some from last year's pile to finish that don't fall under that. But if anyone has any recs they would be much appreciated (I favour plot over romance).
Work peep E and I are having more convos about stuffs - she was unimpressed with her latest book on the suffragettes (written by a man, and written from the pov that they didn't need to do what they did, almost having rights should have been enough, or they should have wanted universal suffrage). We have random convos about a mix of things, and they are always interesting, and we exchange books more often now *g*
I am also attempting to stealth make her a Pike scarf before the Dad's Army film comes out, I now have chunky wool, because DK was taking forever, but I need to poke at the stitch to figure out what type looks closest.
I hope all are well, and the year has treated you well so far!
