Good things: a list

[dolorosa_12]

I've written a couple of reviews of recent books I've read: stories about sisters — The Five Daughters of the Moon by Leena Likitalo, 'The Jewel and Her Lapidary' by Fran Wilde, and Buried Heart by Kate Elliott (the Wilde novella is not technically about sisters, but it's close enough), and Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor, which seemed to be written with my id in mind.

Matthias and I seem to be getting back into running with little difficulty, after a break of about six months. I'm relieved. We're going in a race in mid-November!

I made pasta with tomato sauce using tomatoes, garlic, and basil grown in my garden. I guess the next step is to make the pasta by hand?

I'm in the process of germinating scotch bonnet chilli seeds so that I can grown them in the house over winter. This is a step up for me in terms of my garden.

I've written my Yuletide letter in good time, and am very happy with my choices of fandoms to request (even if they'll probably send me directly to the pinch hit list). Now I just need to figure out which fandoms to offer.

I have acquired dresses which are both comfortable and warm. This is something of a miracle.

How have your weekends been?

Which race/type of race are you aiming for?

[dolorosa_12]

It's a 5k race, which shouldn't be too difficult. I could run 5k quite easily last year, and I'm trying to build back up to that before November. So far it's going well, although I find it hard to motivate myself to run in the dark of winter.
