First post of the year

[nishatalitha]

Went to a New Year's party at atomicsusan's place last night. It was lots of fun, but I crashed out around 1am - the stairs were remarkably comfortable to doze on - and walked home, counting snails. Twenty-four from their place to mine, and sixteen of those before I reached Pembroke Rd.

Sometimes little things entertain me.

There was secret santa New Year's resolutions, and I ended up with reading an unrelated non-fiction book every fortnight. Don't know about the unrelated part - unrelated to what? - but I'll have a go at reading a non-fiction book I haven't read before a fortnight. As to my own goals, they remain what they were before Christmas: lose weight, get fit, be happy.

Time to go and make breakfast, get organised and get into writing Kapcon characters...

It makes me happy that you counted snails. This implies you didn't step on them.

Happy new year!

That would have required coordination or something. I thought one could have a game of snail tipping, like cow tipping only with snails, but again, same problem. So I counted instead.

I'm assuming unrelated to the other books, for example two biographies of Cromwell wouldn't count (I'm just using that example because I found mine and didn't know I had it here). The question is where to draw the line - would two history books be too close, for example?

I wondered that as well. I've decided that I'm going to ignore the unrelated part of it and just read a non-fiction book I haven't read before every couple of weeks. Which reminds me, I should start the first one...
