I currrently have my cat sitting on my lap, purring and being affectionate. The typing will probably annoy her soon and she will then migrate to the end of my bed but for now, all is good.
Played frisbee again tonight. We (Happy) won quite convincingly, but we had to work for it. There was one nine-minute point (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mashugenah checked). Still, I felt fitter than I did last week. My cutting is still poor and my forehand needs game practice but my ankle handled it without any hassle. Also got to the gym yesterday and today so things are going well. And it was lots of fun. I had enough court time and while I expect to be a little stiff tomorrow, I don't think it will take very long to wear off.
Jemima has migrated to my bed and I shall join her there very shortly because it is warm and I am cold. Tobias, I believe, is still outside.
Am still rereading Heyer. Finished The Spanish Bride day before yesterday, was temporarily distracted by The Fire Opal (Catherine Asaro's lastest Arronsdale book), which I enjoyed, but then I'm a sucker for theology and fantasy mixed, particularly if it's done well and a trashy Mills&Boon before reading more of Journey West (nearly finished Vol. III) and settling on The Grand Sophy, because it's fun.
Someone on my flist recently posted a link to a book challenge community, wherein you set yourself a goal of how many books you're going to read in 2008 and keep track of them in this community. Someone has set themselves a goal of 600 books. I don't think I'd read that many in a year now, but probably 300 or so. I once tried to keep a book list. The longest I managed was for about six months before I got bored. I forget how many books I had on the list when I stopped keeping it. At school, I never managed to keep a list, particularly if we also had to review what we read. Which would be fine, if you were only reading one or two books a week and those the school knew about but less fine if you're reading one or two a day, and (depending on what year I was) several Mills&Boon as well. Hardly the sort of thing one wants to report to your teacher. I usually picked my favourite two or three and reviewed them properly. And kept the list for about five. If called on, I would say what I'd read and, oh, I forgot to write them all down. Sorry miss, I can't remember everything I read.
Haven't been doing terribly well with the goal to read a new non-fiction book every two weeks. It's hard work and something you have to think about. Still, I've read more this year than I probably would have otherwise, so that's okay.
