Made an autumn veg soup today from this recipe
https://www.recipetineats.com/country-harvest-root-vegetable-soup/.
Added the water too early but otherwise is good and filling and doesn't use stock, so the sodium levels are what I want them to be.
Also did some minor housekeeping like vacuuming side bedroom and swiftering the kitchen floor. Some day I'll do major stuff like vacuuming the whole downstairs but not today.
Got House of Many Ways when I went to pick up Cinder House and read it in a sitting. Since I've only read it once in the annus horribilis 2011, I had no memory of it at all. But then had to reread Castle in the Air and, being the lazy lump I am, got the ebook from the library instead of going upstairs and rooting about among my dusty shelves. I may have read that one twice but of course, as with all DWJ books, I remember nothing of it. Ten pages from the end my tablet ran out of charge so I had to finish it in paper. And it doesn't read at all well in print. Weird. But also, the who is who, or who is what, unentangling at the end is, if possible, worse than Howl's Moving Castle. I may have to make a memorandum of that for next time.
Though I'm beginning to worry about how reading these days feels like dreaming: once finished it's done, leaving little in the memory. If you asked me what I read this year I could probably name the detective story authors, but anything else? I know I read Terra Nostra and Inventing the Renaissance because both are big books, but forgot that I'd read the equally weighty JS&MN; knew I'd read Emma and Persuasion but not Northanger Abbey and Sense and Sensibility; totally forgot rereading the last five (six?) Rivers of London and all the Paarfi. Maybe I should go back to making lists.
