nnyOkay, yes, wittering about concussions is unseemly. Chin up!
Good things at present:
I am reading Bill Bryson, who has become rather more cantankerous in his old age, but continues to string together delightful sentences. I like reading about places I know from someone else's perspective, it's rather delightful.
I am also reading Medieval Graffiti, about the aforementioned that's been found in various churches around England. It's taking its time getting started, but the writing style is engaging and I'm interested enough in the subject matter to continue. It's making me think of one of the places I've lived and I think it might be Gloucester - unfortunately the concussion has left it a little harder to distinguish at present. XD
I have goals! Namely this. I'm nowhere near financially prepared for buying a house at present, but the urge to actually buy - to commit to a place, to commit to facing any consequences from mistakes made in a place, is a new thing for me. It's warring against my habitual itchy feet, certainly, but man am I ready for the change! It's nice to have a saving goal, and even if one of this row of cottages isn't available when I've saved enough for it to be a sensible option, there are enough places like it in Nottingham that I'm sure I'll be able to find somewhere.
I also think I will be joining this library, as it looks utterly beautiful from the website and I need more reasons to leave the house that don't involve shopping. Another indication that I won't be leaving Nottingham any time soon, which is simultaneously lovely and unnerving.
Finally, I've been writing rather more lately, although nothing of any real substance. Mostly silly little Person of Interest ficlets because I continue enthralled. Unfortunately I don't have the mental faculty to do it any justice; this morning was spent speculating about Finch meeting Baymax.
