The run up to a fortnight of holiday for me, so the days were simultaneously dragging and full of stuff that I was trying to get finished or progressed as much as possible.
However, now I am dozing in the sun with the requisite amounts of clotted cream and cider and a stack of books (Banks' Use of Weapons at the moment).
Once the BH crowds have thinned, I will probably get out for some coastal hikes too.
Is banks the sci-fi author? Sounds like a great day though!
Yes. This is one of his Culture novels. I've been enjoying them so far.
I'll have to check his stuff out. I hadn't heard of him before until I saw lots of his books in Waterstones when I was having a browse.
I'm currently reading Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
