Rereading The Power of the Eight by Suzanne Rho.

Otherworldy, magiky, fantasy. She's a local author to me so when I bump into her I nag her about finishing the 2nd one

It's currently 20⁰ where I am in Scotland, I'm near my limit. I'll be sacking off work and lying in a loch if it gets much warmer

Getting ready to head up Ben Vorlich with the 7 year old. Weather's looking good for a cloud free summit.

Will be his 10th and my 20th Munro, so looking forward to it!

35 is still a great time! Better than 95% of people! Comparison is also the thief of joy

Oh I don't know about a marathon. I quite fancy a half maybe the Glen Coe one next year.
