Forms, lots of forms.

A bit of the Sally Ride biography, and some of the new issue of Nature.

F-list, twitter, Hugo ballot

Georges Simenon "Mon ami Maigret", in a huge book of seven Maigret novels which I must finish and return to the library. Good thing they don't do fines!

'Penric's Demon', the new Lois McMaster Bujold novella, and some revision of the RYA's 'VHF Radio (including GMDSS)', which doesn't have quite as good a plot as the Bujold.

(And catching up on a week's worth of Dreamwidth)

Twitter, my file of Dell correspondence because OMFG not another problem with this laptop, a couple chapters of Dune (a bedtime re-read).

Rereading William Spaven's "Memoirs of a seafaring man". Almost certainly the only book written by an ordinary sailor who served in the RN in the mid 18th century.

A bunch of social media notifications which popped up when I turned on my phone after a 12 hour flight.

Some social media (fb/twitter), and some boarding passes.

work documents/reports. On the plus side, I've made progress in turning the current one into a single coherent narrative. On the minus - I missed so many details on the first look see on this topic that I feel like I'm starting from scratch.

I finished the bugzilla quips list and added a few that were missing! I also merged my IRC logs from the old work computer into the new work computer and read through some of those in search of the source of a quote about an orange bucket. Not found, so I think it was said before my coming.
