I'm doing 31 things
Finished An Intimate History of Humanity last night. Thank goodness. I’m glad to be heading back to fiction. Am now going to start Tommo & Hawk by Bryce Courtenay. I’ve read quite a few of his books and have never been disappointed. They are very varied in subject matter.

OK, I spent the weekend sorting out a routine for keeping up with the housework. My house certainly wouldn’t qualify for one of those grotty homes you see on the TV cleaning programmes (but then I suspect they’re deliberately made to look so bad). All the same I can’t currently keep up with the spider webs and dust that an old house seems to encourage. My routines are based very loosely on www.flylady.net. If you haven’t looked at this website before I can recommend it. It’s a bit happy/clappy for my personal taste, but I got a lot of useful ideas, such as creating a control diary. Now I have to put it into action.
Currently been reading this for a week. I’ve had it on my bookshelf for ages. It’s non-fiction. Quite interesting, but not a light read, so bedtime probably isn’t the best time to try to make inroads. Still, now I have an aim of two books a month, I’ve got an incentive to get it read ASAP.
