January

[muninnhuginn]

Read:

• Alice in Sunderland, Bryan Talbot
  [especially good for the "Kelmscott" Lambton Worm pages and the Bayeux Tapestry] [borrowed* (I bought it for M's birthday)]
• Keeping Poultry and Rabbits on Scraps: A Penguin Handbook, Claude Goodchild & Alan Thompson [Xmas pressie]
• Poe's Children, ed. Peter Straub [Xmas pressie]
  [the consecutive placing of King's and Hill's contributions was, maybe, unkind: the King whilst interesting felt a little overlong; the Hill was spot-on and very affecting; details (e.g. the electrical appliances mentioned) annoyed in the former]
• Longitude. The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved The Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time, Dava Sobel [from bugshaw's decluttering]
• Women Who Changed the World by Rosalind Horton & Sally Simmons [Xmas pressie]

Finished:

• knitted hat for G

Submitted:

• S194 (at the last minute... as usual... sigh)

Buried:

• Miss Flora (eventually, after a week of frozen solid ground)
• the flamenco guppy

 

* Since I've decided to buy no books for myself this year, I'd better account for sources of reading matter.
