Just a quick one today, because I'm trying to write half a dozen other things. :-)

ReadingMore of
Inventing the Renaissance by Ada Palmer, read by Candida Gubbins. Andrew has started listening with me, so I needed a solo listen and, accordingly, am trying
Black Water Sister by Zen Cho, read by Catherine Ho, which is great so far. (I've heard it contains one of my DNWs, so I'm approaching with caution.)
KdramasFinally finished
Nothing But Love (it's so good!). Also finished
Aema, which was fantastic, dramatic, pacy, with tons of complicated female relationships and femslashiness (fair warning: gets very dark in places). Two more episodes of
Mystic Pop-Up Bar, which continues to be delightful, I did not see that romantic pairing coming!! (It's doing the
Gobin "who is the reincarnation of whom??" mystery thing.)
In theory I'm still watching
My Youth in the hopes it develops some/any dramatic/romantic tension... but now
You and Everything Else is out, who knows. Viewing time is limited.
More
Low Life this evening, yay!
Other TVMostly
Dark Winds and
Bluey. We would have watched more
Chief of War and
Prehistoric Planet, but my Apple app is refusing to stream, grrrr.
Guardian/FandomSo much is happening! It's great! The Slo-Mo Guardian Rewatch is delightful,
guardian_wishlist is in its creating period (which is always much too short, argh), and I still haven't caught up with
fan_writers comments. Also, omg, my tabs!!!
I nominated for Yuletide and am having some earnest conversations with myself about signing up. Last year was my first year; it was a blast, but it was a lot. I could always just treat...
Writing/making thingsI'm very close to finishing the unexpected-kink fic (still needs a title), but most of my focus is on
guardian_wishlist. I've finished one gift and started another, which is threatening to get long (the joy and curse of rarepairs), and I have a laundry list of things to write after that. I'm aiming for, like, six or eight in total, by 6 October, but it will depend on whether I can write short.
Anyway, the current one is at least doing that delightful thing of occupying my brain when I'm not at my keyboard, making me jot down notes and dialogue when I wake up. I've missed this level of engagement.
Life/health/mental state thingsAndrew's taking some time off work, which is an adjustment for both of us, and also great and much deserved.
Good thingsTuesday was a glorious sunny summery day. My new glasses are nearly ready. So Many Kdramas! TV-watching dates. Biking again. Bluey! Writing. Fandom and you all. <3
