I went to a booksale with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
katlinel at St Augustine Church. I bought a lot of books, because they were cheap, and I have given up even pretending that I'm not going to buy new books until my pile lessens. I was also enabled by my friend Alison being in charge of the till, and giving me a place to rest my books so I didn't really realise how many I had until the end. I got 20, and when we got there everything was half price, so my total was about £15.
The Masqueraders - Georgette Heyer
A Civil Contract - Georgette Heyer
The Corinthian - Georgette Heyer
(I had to use the Augustine wifi to find out which of the Heyers I hadn't read, as the titles and blurbs tend to mean very little to me.)
The Thing Around Your Neck - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
(I don't actually like short stories, but I've wanted to read some Adichie for a while.)
The Ice House - Nina Bawden
Twice Dead - EM Channon
Sweetness in the Belly - Camilla Gibb
Murder in the English Department - Valerie Miner
The Visitation - Michele Roberts
(This was available in two Women's Press editions. I preferred the one that said it was all about family relationships and friendships, but bought the one that banged on about it redefining heterosexual sex because it looked like it would hold together better.)
The Female Man - Joanna Russ
An Island in a Green Sea - Mabel Esther Allan
Lucky Man - Michael J Fox
Letters to a Friend - Winifred Holtby
Poems by Gay Clifford
Feast - Nigella Lawson
The Cranks Recipe Book
Kichen Suppers - Jenny Baker
(I have no idea if I will ever use the cookbooks, though there are some nice recipes. But if they just sit in my kitchen they'll make me look as though I am someone who cooks stuff. Middle class stuff.)
Baby Cashmerino 2 - Debbie Bliss
The Expectant Knitter- Marie Connolly
Natural Knits for Babies and Mums - Louisa Harding
(My sister has asked for hats for her new baby, so I wanted some pattern books.)
I need to spend time reshelving and then taking photos for my phone so that I have an easily accessible up-to-date record of what I already have. I got behind on my cataloguing and now I can no longer be bothered to catch up. I am currently reading a rather depressing Elizabeth Jane Howard book, The Long View.
I am on level 160 of candy crush. I introduced my friend Rose to it while we were on holiday in Dublin and she was cursing me in between trying to get enough stripey ones.
I went with Cheers for my half hour television, and I might follow it up with Frasier. Then I remembered The Drew Carey Show, and someone recommended Corner Gas, so I might try that.
I'm trying one of those freeze-sprays to get rid of a wart that's been on my little finger for the best part of a decade. It's supposed to fall off within ten days of application. I am 7 days into my second application and it is not shifting. I'm only allowed to spray it on one more time, and I suspect that won't do the trick either. I guess then I go back to the doctor and ask them to slice it off with something sharp.
