animals, assorted

I am attempting to motivate myself into going running before it starts raining again, so this is likely to be the first of a series of updates.

( Dan Stanford, The horsemasters. )

And it's still refusing to rain, so I guess I should go find my sneakers.

Old favourites

It's probably best not to dwell on how much it ended up raining on me during my run, but I am somewhat bitter that it didn't start until I was almost as far away from home as I could possibly be on that particular loop. Anyway. Two books by authors I've been reading for a long time, with some excellent and some more mixed results along the way (and also two very bizarre Blakes' Seven episodes by Lee, although I think DWJ's version would have been even more disturbing).
