I'm very... numb. Partially this is the weather, partially this is reading Rebecca. I definitely identify too much with the heroine. I could easily spend the rest of the day reading Rebecca, but I also don't want to run out of Rebecca. The next book to read is The French Leiutenant's Woman, which I've already started, and I wasn't enjoying much.

I'm glad I've got other stuff to do today, like the magazine and my prescriptions (It's going to cost me a fortune, all this asthma stuff, but I suppose it's better to have it than to not). I just really don't want to move much.

Does anyone know, is 450 a good or bad score on a peak flow meter? It's been so long, I really can't remember.

So blah. I've spent the morning rereading Grayling. The early art looks so strange now, and it's weird how quickly it settls into the more recognisable style. I'd forgotten so much of the plot. Part of me was thinking "Elemental of death as the good guy, interesting", but on rereading. There are no good guys. And it's cool, because you like them anyway despite the heinous crimes they're willing to commit for their own planet. Cal's sweet, May's practical, and while it's easy to think of Lem as ruthless he's not, really. He's giving his life for his creations, most of whom don't care about him any more.

It's also not taking nearly so long as I'd expected, but, of course, arcs 1, 2 and 3 are much shorter compared with the current ones. At least it's helping me get my baring in terms of timeline now. I'd forgotten too much of teh beginning to really understand what was going on.

But I have stopped myself now, because if I start arc 4 that's me gone for the rest of the afternoon, and I still have stuff to do. Better to read Rebecca instead.
