Library Loot

Picked up a couple of reservations today: 'Locas' by Jaime Hernandez and 'The Zenith Angle' by Bruce Sterling. So that's me all set for the weekend :-)

Sick Food

Broth with pasta, peas, and leek.
Okay, I'm not that sick. But I am enjoying a little self-pity.

Fire Escape

I wonder if it's the ivy holding it up...

'Tis the Season

This has seen a lot of use today, believe me.

Weight

Glass paperweight.
OK, not very innovative. But I'm saving my creativity for my novel (hem hem, pretentious much?). It needs it badly.

Plant

Just sitting there, a lonely splash of green in a muddy patch:
I have no idea what it is, but here's a closer look:
Methinks I'll be keeping an eye on this in the months to come.

Can't Talk; Noveling

Working on my novel 'Crash' today (if you want details see my NaNoWriMo blog). My personal goal is to write 15000 words this month. So far I've managed about 3000. I forecast six days of hair-tearing, caffeine overdoses and carpal tunnel syndrome. Sleep deprivation is fun.

Budding Springtime

More early signs of spring.

Precipitous

It's raining here today. The sort of steady drizzle that says, 'I can keep this up all day'. So here's a picture of raindrops on my window.

Vikings

I came by the Viking Ship Museum today. All the boats are, of course, currently sitting on land waiting for warmer weather. It's quite a sight in summer, with longboats moored along the pier by the Museum Island, and sometimes sailing on the fjord.
