It is cooler, YAY. I went outside to read the electricity meter, and it felt almost cold! (it was about 16°C)

I went food shopping yesterday, and it was nice and cool in the morning, too!

I ran into not one friend who I haven't seen IRL for over a year, but TWO. I planned to meet up with both of them at some indefinite point in the near future, so that's good. AND I found out they're putting the bus schedules back to how they used to be - i.e. once every half hour instead of once an hour during week days, so YAAAY.

Of course, to balance this out, I went to the cash machine to check my balance, and somehow managed to forget my PIN, and it got blocked! And it was 8:30 in the morning, so the bank wasn't open, so I had to ring the number on my card to get it unblocked. Luckily, everything is okay now, but sheesh, what an idiot I am! I can't even blame it on forgetting it because I use contactless payments all the time, because I don't. I use my PIN fairly frequently so the card doesn't get blocked!

Book update!

I am half-heartedly reading The Last Vampire, by Christopher Pike. I absolutely devoured this series when I was a teenager, because vampires, and this is not the first time I've tried to reread it since. At the moment, I'm thinking I might just read the first book and leave the others for a while, as I have made myself a small to read pile that is not this series of books!

I have: Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones; Deep Secret (also DWJ); and Lords and Ladies by Terry Pratchett.

I've kept thinking for several years now that I ought to read/reread some Discworld, and I'm starting with this particular one as it was my favourite for ages, and I read and reread it so much as a ween that I actually got sick of it. So I thought since it's so long since I last read it, maybe it would be all right to read it again (if you see what I mean?)

Howl's Moving Castle I was going to reread anyway, and then I picked out Deep Secret because someone I watched on youtube mentioned their favourite DWJ book (Year of the Griffin) which, for some reason I confuse with Deep Secret, although I have no idea why. Also I've stayed in the hotel that is a basis for the one in this book (though I read the book first, didn't know about the hotel till after), so I thought it might be interesting to read with that in mind!

I'm trying not to care that a lot of my reading has been/is going to be stuff I've already read. Doesn't matter, as long as I'm reading, right?

I thought I had something else to say, but I don't, so I am going to hit post!
