Did Something Change?
My friends feed now only goes three pages back and then there's only the void.
I wish I could say that I was an active poster, but that would be a lie. I'm slightly more active on DW, and a bit more active on FB.
Still healthy, still mostly focused on my garden, and therefore really quite dull. -
No Cross Posting?
I really have posted since the November post. Apparently, LJ has decided not to show posts from DW. Sad, but what can you do?
Should you be interested in keeping up on my dull life, you can try loup_noir over on the DW platform. -

Checking books out from the library means that I usually read them. The last book finished, the one that I'm still mulling over, was Craig Johnson's newest Longmire mystery, Daughter of the Morning Star. Everything about this particular novel was very, very good. Boy, howdy was it good. For anyone who just watched the television show and ( Read more... ) -

My increasingly aging gut has decided that alliums are evil. It will tolerate the occasional meal with onions, but leeks and garlic are not good. I feel sorry for the WBH, because he loves to cook and a lot of the recipes he's really fond of have a lot of alliums. Today I am paying for a fantastic salsa he made yesterday. There was about a cup ( Read more... ) -
Nothing Ever Dies on the Internet
About every six months to a year, I get an email about my Durmstrang Chronicles series. It makes me very happy to know my old fanfic is still being read and enjoyed. So, I did a vanity search and discovered that there's a FictionAlley Archive that launched this year. www.fictionalley-archive.org/
The vanity search revealed, not to my surprise, ( Read more... ) -
Interesting Times
Beautiful nowhere is getting too interesting and not in a good way. Months ago, a guy started breaking into houses, ransacking them, and living there until he either moved on of his own accord or the sheriff deputies chased him away. Game cams and security systems get shots of him. You'd think a big guy like that, with multiple large tattoos, ( Read more... ) -

False Value by Ben Aaronovitch, a Rivers of London tale.
A more complex than usual Peter Grant story that couples magic with technology in an excellent funny and complex story. This made up for October Man. Charming when the tale focuses on Peter's relationship with Bev, fun when he's infiltrating a company, and made me want more whenever the ( Read more... ) -

If I were better about keeping an eye on my library holds, the books in the Rivers of London series would show up in order. Alas, I put in requests and walk away. Books arrive as they're available.
The October Man by Ben Aaronovich, which I think is the newest in the series, is like reading fan fiction. Now, I loved Peter Grant, Nightingale, ( Read more... ) -
The Garden in Late Summer
My newest fashion accessory is tomato seeds splatted all over my t-shirt. Yes, it's canning season. Unlike last year's tomato failure (shakes fist at tomato mites, a new pest we wish we had never heard of), this year we've got tomatoes. A lot of tomatoes. Thus far, I've made four huge batches of greenhouse glop (homegrown tomatoes, homegrown ( Read more... ) -

It's late July and all of my knitting sites are talking about Christmas. *headdesk*
In other news, here it's still mid summer and my world revolves around my garden. And putting up stuff. Last week it was peaches.
Since it's still difficult to get canning lids, and yes, please insert a "grrrr," instead of using the usual pints, I used quart ( Read more... )
