Reading/Listening: I have started on audiobook Book 3 of The River of London series. I am starting The Mysterious Mr. Quin by Agatha Christie in audiobook, narrated by Hugh Fraser. Physical bookwise, I am also making my way through The Best of It: new and selected poems by Kay Ryan, poetry, and Guilty Creatures, an anthology of animal mysteries from the British Library Crime Classics. I had a couple more borrows on online library system so I started Antidote to Venom by Freeman Wills Crofts.
Writing: The big goal was getting the Unconventional Courtship fic done. July is Watson's Woes month, so that's what ahead. I also want to make some progress on my Gen Bingo prompts.
Personal: I've been posting more personally during the month, so not much to say. I am trying to keep the boys busy (worksheets, library visits, lots and lots of books--seriously we max out our 60 borrow limit almost every week--crafts, visits to the pool, this week 3 hours of gymnastics camp in the afternoon, puzzles, Midsomer Murders, and game time). The boys' father has been gone for about 2 weeks and will be gone 3 more. The rock tumbler goes 24/7. We are in day 5 of Stage 2 (of 4). It reached 106 F (41 C) yesterday. I am so, so glad I pitched a royal fit and got the boys' father to fix the A/C in my car before he left.
