I was on a half day off work today, and met up with a timber specialist to take a look at a couple of things at the new house that had to be checked before we continue with the purchase. It all seemed okay, nothing show-stopping, though, perhaps unsurprisingly, it seems to have shrunk since I saw it last. I think that's just buyer's remorse showing up ahead of schedule.
After that I walked into town, got rained on and eventually ended up in Waterstones where I had a little accident. Damn them and their 3 for 2 offers! I came away with Alastair Renyolds latest, that Lindqvist vampire novel I'd heard good things about and Tim Harford's latest economics explains everything book, The Logic of Life.
On top of those I also plonked the Collected Bone, the single volume complete run of Jeff Smith's Bone comics. Lordy, that's one fat book. But it's also one graphic novel I won't read in a single sitting, so I feel I'm getting better mileage out of it.
I then staggered home, my rucksack full of books.
