The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...

[Fedora]

And I get soooo hot, which doesn't help. I almost think maybe I should turn the heat wayyyyy down before work and run in something colder than mid-sixties temperatures.

I do stuff like that when I work out, 'cause even if I feel cool when I start out, after a little while into it, it feels warm anyway.

Good job Rosie! Mutual admiration party!

Yes, Fedora, good workout. Not thinking about Wednesday workout yet. Tomorrow I'll be lifting... no way we're getting to choir, with snow on the way.

[Fedora]

Good idea not to think about Wednesday workout yet :)

BTW, I finished Book 2 of Doomsday Book yesterday. About to start Book 3. . .

[JenB]

So how do you find the story? Have people started dying yet?

[g'nad]

nice new digs... hmmm looks kinduh bare tho... mebbe I should pull some stuff from muh fav'rit web site...

[RosieCotton]

How people down south can run in eighty or ninety degree temps is beyond me.

I suppose you get used to it, but...geesh!

Maybe genes come into play, too? I wouldn't think Norskis handle heat very well. Scots either.

[RosieCotton]

Yeah...let's not think about Wednesday yet! Eight minutes at a stretch, when I feel like five is a real push? Hm...

Dinner is cookin'. I'm starving!

[JenB]

Enjoy...

Gah, I'm getting really paranoid about this snow - last time it snowed, I got rear ended...

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh.... You're just gonna get the floor all sticky....

[Fedora]

So how do you find the story? Have people started dying yet?

Not en masse, but I sense that's coming. . .Story's starting to pick up pace, still trying to figure out how the plague got to the present. Starting to wonder if Dunworthy screwed something up, too and it wasn't just Gilchrist--hmmm. . .

[JenB]

How do you like the bellringers, and Mrs. Gadstone, and Finch? I love the supporting characters in that story - Agnes and Rosemund and Father Roche in the past.

I'm Norski (Norwegian-Irish, mostly) and I can handle it when I'm used to it in the summer. I think it's mostly getting used to it, which probably includes adjusting your diet to fit the increased water/salt/calorie intake needs.

Got some bread that just finished in the breadmaker here. Waiting for it to cool off so I can cut it :)

[Fedora]

I like Agnes best out of the supporting characters so far. I'm trying not to get too attached to them, though, 'cause I have a feeling they're not going to be around long. . .

[JenB]

I'm not going to say anything... nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing.

[RosieCotton]

Mmmm...fresh bread. I need to make some tomorrow. Brothers ate one loaf and I've used the other for sandwiches and snacks over the last few days.

[RosieCotton]

I liked Mary's nephew (Colin?) a lot, too. He's maddening at times, but a good kid.

[Fedora]

Mmmm...fresh bread.

It's honey wheat :)

[Fedora]

I'm not going to say anything... nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing.

You're just dying to give away the ending, aren't you? :)

[JenB]

Yes, Colin reminds me of some of the bothers.

I liked Finch a lot. He was amusing. He's somewhat changed in "To Say Nothing of the Dog", which has a very different tone and is set a few years later, anyway. Are you going to read that one?

[RosieCotton]

Sounds good! That's probably what I'll make tomorrow, seeing as I just got a new container of honey. Might throw in some oats, too. Yum!
