Well, now on top of our winter woes, I have a cold. Bobby has been fighting one off for days, and it was inevitable that I'd catch it, and I did

I want to point out that it is as cold here as it is where you are, and snowed, and everyone to the north can take that b.s. back.
The book is called The Song of Middle-earth by David Harvey. I'm actually rather disappointed in it so far.
What a shame. I started a Narnia book once that was similar in its...lackluster content. It was like reading an especially long-winded Tumblr meta post, but with more air of authority and thus more eyerolling by me.
I like winter weather and have been lamenting the lack of it these past few years, so I am trying very hard not to complain now! I do like that we've had snow. We've had snow on the ground for most of the winter. You can send more our way. ;) The ridiculous cold I can do without.

Lol! Yes, the cynic in me notes, also, that the author is apparently the winner of an '80s Australian quiz show called Quizmaster, and the book very much reads like it was written by someone who puts a lot of stock in knowing reams of discrete facts. Just when I think he's going to rally all those reams of facts into some kickass conclusion ... nope. More facts. I read a chapter yesterday but haven't been able to bring myself to read one yet today.
I do love winter, cold, and snow, but I am ready for spring now! But I predicted a return to winter in February, and sure enough, we may have more wintery mix on the way. Though this weekend it meant ranch closure, which is fine by me: if the weather is bad enough to close us, I am much happier than when it is f*** off cold but not wet enough for us to close!

Hee! Sometimes I suspect I'm simply spoiled by fandom. I can't blame you for not reading on. I never did finish that Narnia book.
Thank you. Bobby has mostly been closing the chickens in their coop because of first the extreme cold and now because of the ice so I doubt they even noticed. :)
Thirteen pages done on the paper and cold almost gone! Life is looking up! :)
The book is very frustrating. I haven't even been able to bring myself to pick it up yet today, and I'd committed to a chapter a day (mostly to get it over with faster).

I hope the chickens weren't too frightened by the tree branch incident.
Enjoy your upcoming weekend...

Good luck with the paper!
Aww, I hate it when books don't live up to expectations.
