Respiro

Taxes come trotting in, of course while I was out of the house because I didn't expect them till tomorrow. Again a hefty refund yay! and needn't courier them back to the accountants because it doesn't matter if I file late. Of course it would be *easier* to courier, which only involves going up to the end of the street, the more so as I popped another cyst last night and leg has been a pain ever since.  Still will see if I can manage to get to a PO somehow to send my signature off because I don't quite trust the mail enough to just stick it in a PO box.

Finished Network Effect, Fugitive Telemetry, and Home. Also a reread of M. Corvinus, A Vote for Murder because Corvinus is easy phone reading. Though I seriously wonder at him thinking wine is a cure for thirst because no really it's not, any more than Pepsi is. And I believe the water in Rome was drinkable? Brought in from the Alban hills, not piped from the dubious Tiber. Also finished Mary Beard's Confronting the Classics, book reviews of this and that largely damning with faint praise.

Will now reread Murderbot 2 and 3 that I own in kindle, before swiftly reviewing Exit Strategy and Network Effect, which come from the library. This will hold me for a while.
