It stopped raining long enough for me to get to the library for the amazing number of holds that trotted in last week. Skies are still November dramatic but temps got up to the mid-teens so I was fine with just a cloth jacket. This after bumping the thermostat up last night to a heady 18C, because Thursday night I froze with it at 16, in spite of two wool blankets and my down duvet. Wind is what does it, as ever.
The neighbourhood lilacs have mostly scattered ahead of the Glorious 25th.
City mails me the form for property tax and water relief a tad early. Maybe because another postal strike is in the offing? Of course I can apply online. Yeah. 'What you will need: tax statement (check), property tax bill (check), utilities bill (check), a printer and a scanner. Yeah, right. Every impoverished oldster has those. So I will courier the thing instead.
Vlad was getting up my nose so I went for Murderbot instead. Kobo not being amazon is its one selling point, because the Kobo app likes to give me black screens if I pause my reading too long so I must back page and reopen the book. Is also very slow at resizing the font. I suppose I'm expected to buy an actual Kobo reader, which no. And I'm finding it very difficult to parse the action on either e-reader. ( Artificial Condition is on kindle app, Network Effect on Kobo.) Which is odd, because I think I read it in e-format from the library. I may have to buy it in dead tree at this rate.
Also shoulder has started to object to the weather along with elbows and knees. Woe is me.
