I have some new housing items in LOTRO that I'm going to place in Lofnheid's hobbit kinship house. I'll put up pics once it's complete.
Almost finished Peace Talks. It's probably the first Dresden Files book that I have been disappointed in. It's great, when compared to other UF books. (There are some bad ones, out there) But I can't help but feel that it's missing something important. Too much recapping of what has gone on in previous books, too many characters making cameo appearances that seems to have no purpose, and shallow Diversity! in some

parts of the book that doesn't need to be there. It's also shorter than the last few books so it feels a bit rushed. Just hope that the next one is better.

In retrospect, Peace Talks and Battlegrounds should be part of the same book, not separate. I've encountered that problem before with Kelley Armstrong's novels (The YA books would have been much better as single books, so that Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising are a single book each, instead of being six. The third series with Elena and Clay's kids in them, I've not bought yet but reviewers have said the same thing

regarding those. It's a shame and reflects badly on the author, but more on the publisher as they are the ones who decide how the books are published. It's like the time we saw Amon Amarth and had a disappointing time because of the venue - a good band ruined by how it was presented and the same applies here. I hope this doesn't happen again in future.

Just finished Skin Game from the Dresden Files. When I first read it a number of years ago, I had a lot of brain fog due to an illness and forgot quite a lot of it, so I really needed to read it again before going on to read Peace Talks and Battleground. (It didn't help that there was such a long publication gap between Skin Game and Peace Talks, either.)
I've got a handful of good books on Egyptology to read this summer. Wish it wasn't so hot, though. Hot weather gives me brain fog.

Sounds like a good time. I know what you mean about hot weather. Heat and humidity are a sensory hell that make it hard to think about anything other than how uncomfortable you are. ):

Lovely how the delivery driver just put my new clothes in the bin instead of handing it in at the door!

Considering the amount of complaints that they've got in twitter in the past 20 hours, I doubt I'll get any apology from them. Why is society today so damned rude?

I am sort of fast tracking him through, too, as I don't have the patience to do every area and every quest more than once.
Are otters called otters because they are otters, or are they called otters because a dwarf from Norse mythology called Ottr could turn into one?

I have to wonder. I am currently taking one of my LOTRO characters called Ottr to the gates of Moria to explore there. (There is a quest chain called the Ballad of Bingo Boffin and I need to take him there to do the next few stages.

Been looking at clothes this evening. One thing I've found is that plus sized clothing (that marketed to women who are over size 18, uk sizes) always have the most awful cuts and patterns on them, and the photography leaves a lot to be desired, too.

This is the first time this week that it's been cool enough to take Max out for his long walk. (He has gone for shorter walks, but not as many as usual due to the heat.) It was better than last week's walk because it was breezy and not as muggy.

And the leg muscle I've been having problems with is better. Still hurts from time to time, but not constantly. I hope it doesn't get worse again when it gets colder.

I'm going to do page of links to interesting Coursera courses that folks might find useful. They are university level, and run by good unis and are free to do online. (Some of them are the same material that you would get if you physically attended the classes themselves.) They are useful if you need help with preparing for your university course, or want to fill in gaps in knowledge that you've missed, or just for

My newest character in LOTRO should reach level 15 today. Excellent. Means that I should be able to open some of the lootboxes with free black keys that you get for the anniversary event. That means that I /may/ be able to get one of the figments of splendour items I've been wanting for ages.

I've been wanting to read the Temeraire books. I've read most of them before, but it was only last year when I got the last two in the series because I couldn't find them easily. There seemed to be a problem publishing the 2nd to the last one in the UK. (Happens quite a bit with fantasy and sci-fi books, sadly, especially sci-fi.) Now, I've found them all, so I'll do a re-read after I've finished the Dresden Files.

Needed to do that as it's been a long time since I read them so I could fully enjoy the last two. Peter Jackson was supposed to have made the first into a film, but the project was cancelled, sadly. Would have loved to have seen it.

What I'll never get is why, just because you have a warm day, people think that it's time to make a lot of racket! It's either kids screaming, morons playing loud music/getting into arguments/(almost!) crashing cars/motor bikes by driving too fast, or electrical gardening equipment. You can't have a day where you can sit out and read a book, or listen to birdsong, or something that doesn't annoy people.

TPTB dreams of a future where money grows from trees and leaf blowers grow from the concrete, wailing away to keep the general population indoors and headphoned 24/7

I think it's because it attracts all of the loathsome extrovert types, who have hypo-sensory issues and need to have a constant excess of stimuli in order to feel good. As an autistic person, I wish I could shove all of these people into a cramped pod and fire them into the Sun, where they can have all of the excitement they could ever dream of.

It's getting to that time of year when it's too hot for me. Over did it on Saturday and have been feeling tired ever since, though yesterday was worse than today.

The irony of it is when secondary schools in Britain forced girls to bake bread in school is that they would've had a lot of stick from their teachers if they produced crap bread. Now, it seems acceptable.
Decent bread seems to be a difficult thing to come by these days. It's either full of holes, disintegrates or unfilling. The worst is brown bread that has seeds in it - they put the seeds in to make buyers think it's decent bread but when you get it it's like eating grit, as well as the other problems. White bread is usually dry or full of holes and breaks apart. A good bread is dense and has a weight to it.

Cakes are the same, though with the sugar in them, folks usually tolerate crap cakes more than crap bread.

I think it goes without saying that 90% of the time I hate people. That's because 90% of the time they irritate me. Today, some prat decided to harass my dog in our garden. Fuck off...

This is why we have the Second Amendment.
