Well, that was the year that was. It rained. A lot. Which may be why I remember virtually nothing of it aside from the downpours. New year is set to snow, though tonight will just be more rain. Was going to go to the laundromat but it looked like, what else, rain so I just stayed in. Maybe the next clear day.
Ordered a new back brace in XXL since I'm not losing the tummy weight that would make the old one fit. It's the size of a Japanese obi and about as stiff, and of course it smells. Nothing will ease my lower back pain, including the things supposedly designed to do so. Woe woe is me.
As for reading, yes I read a lot but of course it was all detective fic: all of Flavia Alba, a lot of E F Ferrars (good for a minimum 30 vols)(ETA 47) and E C R Lorac. Did at least reread Sense and Sensibility and a good ten Pratchetts and a couple of nonfiction books. Thus my uneventful retirement.

They really are good, aren't they? I suppose at this point the second rate writers are out of print, so you're assured of quality.
Thanks for the good wishes. Happy New Year to you too.

This is true, except that all my reading is fiction, and I wonder if something meatier might be good for the brain. OTOH that's what Squaredle is for.
