Reading, Listening, Watching
Apr. 1st, 2026 03:31 pmReading: Just started a Georgette Heyer novel, These Old Shades. I'm convinced from what people have told me, and the many people I know who love Georgette Hayer novels, that I should be highly enthused by them, but so far all the one's I've read I've been quite take-it-or-leave-it about. Still, I persevere.
Listening: 13 Minutes to the Moon on the Artemis launch. I like the 13 minutes to the Moon series, though it has strayed a long way from the initial premise of presenting the first Moon-landing framed by analysis of the audio from the 13 minutes of the landing itself. In this case, I'm more than a little fascinated to know what they are going to do if Artemis II doesn't, in fact, launch as scheduled this evening.
Watching: We are a little moribund. We managed to locate Midsomer Murders on itvx, were pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of Marmalade Sparrow's ad-blocker, and added Morse and the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes' to the set of things we watch when we've no better ideas. But I can't help feeling we should find something to watch that has been made in the last 20 years...
