Saturday

Hazy sun, cool. A big cold front is supposed to come smashing through tomorrow afternoon, bringing with it the (tiny) possibility of snow flurries.

Finished reading Karen Russell's Swamplandia! and really liked it. I would recommend it wholeheartedly, but with a serious, serious warning that there is an intense, disturbing scene at one point that may be upsetting to readers. It's something that I would absolutely warn for if it was fanfic ... which this obviously isn't, but still.

Anyway. Have been reading Nigel Cliff's The Last Crusade: The Epic Voyages of Vasco da Gama, which is terrific but needs more maps. *g*

"terrific but needs more maps" sounds like a great description of life itself. :)

This afternoon I opened the living room sofa out flat (that's how it converts into a guest bed) and vacuumed the cat hair off it. I rarely get to sit on it because Zippy has claimed it for his own, but while it was clean and flat, I got a blanket and pillows and made a nest to read in. It was lovely. :)

We should at least be issued a compass! ;-D

It sounds almost like a pillow fort for reading. *g* So cozy!

It was so comfy. I should do that more often. :)
