Wednesday, March 19th, 2025 06:38 pmWe're having a bout of False Spring with temps soaring into the teens C/ 60s F, aided by sunshine. Rain tomorrow and snow flurries thereafter. If I'm going to be in boots, might as well get over to the shoe repair place on Bathurst and ask if they can resole New Balances. I seem to recall not, but hope they can, because I have no desire to buy another pair from that Trump funding company. And if they can't I need to find a shoe store that stocks wide widths, now that my excellent German shoe store has closed.
Have finished Making Money, Lies Sleeping, and What Abigail Did That Summer. Beaver on through False Value but not lately, since I've been reading Ji Yun in dead tree and Gods of Jade and Shadow on the tablet, having totally forgotten the plot of that. Also have a George Bellairs mystery to counteract the slightly unheimlich aftertaste of Gods. Though why I then got a hardback copy of Mexican Gothic from the library, who knows? Glutton for fantods, maybe. Anyway the Bellairs is set during the Blitz and is a reminder that people have survived much worse than what's happening now.
In the end it turns out to be a good thing that I got Ji Yun in paper, because an e-book would drive me batty, not being able to leaf back to find things.
