Newspapers, mostly: the Guardian online, and the Torygraph in print (due to being at the out-laws' house). I even managed to read an entire magazine.

I never got to the weaving patterns, but I did finish Howard's End and read a lot of Twitter and links from there. Also began my semi-annual re-read of The Hobbit and LoTR, because comfort reading.

I read 3 of the stories I had bookmarked, and recommend Immersion, by Aliette de Bodard and Spider the Artist, by Nnedi Okorafor to people who enjoy science fiction.

I re-read the web-comic A Girl and Her Fed from start through to current issue. This was semi-unintentional, I checked to see if the author had added any more to the early pages she is re-doing in her current style (she hasn't, and I suspect she's abandoned the project at least for now), and found myself sucked into the story again. As that dropped me in mid-way through the first story (the current one picks up 5 years later), I eventually made myself go back to the beginning and do it properly. I continue to be impressed by both storytelling and the art (for both gorgeous outfits and dynamic posing).

And I also ended up re-reading 'A Leg to Stand On', which is a 55k-word project of mine I was working on last year. It held up better than I expected, a little too melodramatic in places, but that's easily fixed, mostly I think I need a new plot, but the characters stand up fine. I'm going to let it stew in the back of my mind and see if anything pops up.
