Colder than yesterday just because no sun and a freezing north wind, also maybe because couldn't wear longjohns under my trousers because physio. Did not die. Did get more Jack Daniels coolers though checkout clerk informed the guy behind me who commented on same that Loblaws was probably going to stop stocking American liquor onaccounta tariffs. I presume this is what s-i-l meant when she posted on Monday about 'time to hit the LCBO', and not 'time to get drunk and stay that way till 2026'. I should stop drinking anyway but won't until the nasty cold stops hitting my titanium knee.
Or will go to French wine and English gin.
Have finished yet more forgettable Golden Age mysteries and abandoned a couple of library books: Klara and the Sun because Ishiguro still fantods me even if wikipedia says there's a happy ending, and Interior Chinatown because too depressing and anyway if I want Chinese diaspora Wayson Choy is closer to home. Am rereading Thud because one needs Pratchett at times like this, and Four Roads Cross because I've forgotten it almost completely, and now I see why. How many plot threads are there in that book anyway? I remember it as something of a downer and so far it very much is, aside from my inability to figure out how gods and stock markets work. This is because I don't understand stock markets, of course. And then I may have to rereread Full Fathom Five so I can finally get around to Ruin of Angels, which is a paperback that ought to be a hardcover, and why isn't it, I ask me.
Anyway, The Premonitions Bureau is waiting for me at the library, and I look forward to that.

I note that neither have been totally necessary in either the earthly or political climate since 2019, but boy are they needed now.
