Reading. City of Last Chances because I like Adrian Tchaikovsky's podcast with Emma Newman, but am not keen on bugs. This seemed like a bug-minimal novel of his, though I fear it may prove too grim-dark for my tastes.

Listening Trouble with Hubble - the lastest in the 13 minutes to the Moon series of podcasts about space exploration. I do not know what the trouble with Hubble was - please don't spoil me.

Watching We have exhausted Inspector Morse and so now only have Midsomer Murders as gentle crime drama fare to sustain us. Are thinking of checking out Lewis

A small pot on a window sill with a large window behind it showing branches of some conifer and a view of hill beyond.

Honestly waking up to that view is definitely one of the nicest things about the not-Mansion.

Colin Baker sitting on a garden bench. This is when he was cast as the doctor and his hair is shorter than it was in the show. He is wearing pale jeans and a black shirt with a blue and white striped jacket over it.

A hobbit hole set into a low green mound. A chimney is visible. It has a yellow door and two windwos. There is a bird nesting box with a green roof and a perch to one side. A table set with food is in the front garden. There is a mailbox beyond the gate.

Reading: Almost through Clouds of Witness - I'd forgotten how much of this is written as courtroom drama.

Listening: A Gastropod episode on bison (not to be confused with European Buffalo).

Watching: Last night I was vaguely frazzled so insisted upon low brain-power TV. Hence Bake Off and Garden Rescue.

Cover of the Past Doctor Novel Bullet Time by David A. McIntee. It shows a red drenched city-scape with red hills in the background and what looks like a plane of broken glass in front that reflects the city.

I have vague memories of this PDA. Mostly that there is a rather ambiguous ending in which (spoilers for a 30 year old novel) Sarah may, or may not, be dead.

A large lump-like standing stone, alone in the grass, a bank is visible beyond if you know what to look for. It is sunset.
