Virtual Office Friday 14th August

It's one of those days where I feel like I haven't quite made it into the office yet - which would be fine if I was at an actual office and could potter around doing the other useful things that you get paid for doing in an actual office, but I don't get paid for them here, so - eep! Next week I swear I'll be in bed and going to sleep at a decent hour... *sighs*

I finished A Fashionable Indulgence (K.J. Charles) last night, and thoroughly enjoyed it. If I had it in paperback I'd be tempted to do a re-read straight away, but it's not the same in ebook - it's all the page-flicking I miss. Gods I hope its coming out in paperback, such a waste of a fantastic book if it isn't... (shush, ebook lovers, I'm not saying ebooks are bad, I'm saying they're more ephemeral and thus likely to be lost in the electronics rather than lost on a bookshelf where they can be discovered again with a quick flick of the eyes...)

I'm in a history mood today - which is a shame, cos Job 1 is all about social practices... although I've just spotted a reference to a tv programme, so maybe it'll have its compensations! *g* I started The Balloonist by James Long, another new favourite author, which is set in WWI but also - balloons! And by absolute coincidence, as I was sitting down reading with breakfast, landlord brought me my post - which included another brilliant postcard of an airship!

Oh, and I've also found myself twisting things into sentences-that-you-read-in-books, which bodes well for getting on with some writing, I hope! Plus it's all grey and slow-rainy outside today, and I forsee being tucked up inside, getting on with work and history and reading and writing - doesn't that sound cosy? *g* And Friday!
So it has to be history lads again... these two sort of match, don't they...? *g*

Right - work... and then I can get on with the other much more cosy things... *g*
