I know he meant no harm but Nicholas Whyte turned me onto Squaredle and now I waste hours, I tell you, hours, trying to find words. It's a find the word puzzle that doesn't tell you what the words are, and there's always more and I never see them and arggh. Like anything, it will get easier if I keep on playing it and/ or give them money, which will allow me to reveal words. So far I resist the latter but the former, oh dear. Maybe just as well, because I'm on my last book of acrostics, and what will I do when I've finished that?

Ebooks pop up on my reader in surprising numbers, given that the holds all said variations on 'approx 6 weeks.' But now I have Into the Riverlands and Stargazy Pie to be going on with, as well as Gore Vidal and Botticelli's restoration still. The latter is now into the method of constructing surfaces to paint on, which involved carpentry and patience, and man I bet everyone was so much happier when people started using canvas.

Went by the near coffee house today and shouldn't have once I saw how many bodies were in there. Five, but it's a small space, and four of the bodies were friends of the owner all talking in loud voices as men will. Maskless, of course. If I finally get the plague, that will be where and when I got it.
