The week that was.

Work was certainly a place I went to every day to remain a law-abiding tax-paying citizen.

Our library has a book sale every year to offload withdrawn books. The sale ran Monday to Friday, and as I finish at 5pm on Tuesdays, a friend of mine and I went after work. Spoiler alert: I bought some books. 

We won at quiz on Wednesday night, by a margin of 1 point, and it was a fun evening.

On Friday night after work I went to a workmate's place as a group of us celebrated the end of The Rock 2000 countdown: https://www.therock.net.nz/home/music/the-rock-2000.html

It's a yearly countdown of the top 2000 rock songs voted by listeners. Every year a few of us have a friendly competition trying to guess what will be in the top 10. I lost early on, thanks to Ozzy Osborne playing at number 500. Anyway. This year we decided to listen to the end of it all in the same place and have snacks. We played board games and also bonded with the host's cat. 

It was a fun evening.

On Saturday Spawn and I went to the library as he had a game to return. The library sale was technically over, but you could fill a box for $5 from the books that remained. Spoiler alert: I bought more books.

I went to my friend's as usual on Saturday night, and we started on The Traitors UK, which is a lot of fun.

Today I've done some stitching and podcast listening - two activities which go very well together. I've been listening to You Must Remember This: https://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/ which is about Hollywood's first century. 

I also made progress on my reading corner. I repurposed a shelf that's been sitting in our hallway for weeks, and stacked it with the books I got at the library sale, and a few other strays. Also, snacks. Now I just need a comfy chair.

I didn't end up starting the Star Trek novel. I had The Left-Hand Booksellers of London as a digital lend from the library, and it was almost due, so I ended up reading that instead, and absolutely loved it.

I'm still reading Some Kind of Fairy Tale, which I'm still enjoying, and I started A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske - an M/M fantasy suspense novel. So far it's proving to be very light and magical.

How about you? How's your week? What are you reading?
