Books

A miserable day. We caught the fringe of the North Island's weather bomb. The rain was heavy, not the usual mizzle, the wind blew branches from the fir trees, and the temperature at lunchtime was 7ºC. Up north they had trees and power lines down, and roofs off.

While the rain cleared this afternoon the wind was still bitterly cold. I decided on an indoor blip. Not very original, but here are the books I keep on my computer desk, close to hand. People who are familiar with my journal will hardly be surprised at the titles.
