Books 2011: 67
67. Terry Pratchett, Guards, Guards!
It's been long enough since I've read this that it probably counts as a new book. Vastly entertaining. I'd forgotten how far down Sam Vimes started.
I am sad that further adventures of Errol and his missus probably will never happen, but one can't have everything.
Swam yesterday and today. Sea temp is probably around 12 degrees, and with an air temp of around 18-20 that's plenty balmy for a nice, refreshing dip, particularly since high tide has the courtesy to be around noon, and the breeze is mild. The sea has been clear and calm as (slightly greenish) glass these last couple of days. Beautiful, if numbing.
Sadly, the weather's expected to break on Sunday and go back to being cloudy and drizzly, but at least I have acquired a small itchy mild sunburn in these few precious bright hours!
...Also, there must be something peculiar in Porterhouse Red Ale. I drank a bottle on Tuesday, I think it was, and ended up staying awake until 0530 in the morning. I drank half a bottle when I came in tonight, and was struck by the urge to go running. And I ran longer and further than I have in months. (Although not faster. Still, 18 minutes at about 5mph is not a terrible thing, and the walk back was refreshing.)
