* I have voted. Council by-election, and surprising amounts of leaflets. I would probably have forgotten, but I put it in my work diary to remind me and lunchtime and when it did I wrote it on my hand. I can safely say that I favour voting in May over early December, especially as I always go after work rather than before.

* I have got a bug. Well, I'd had a lurking one for a while, but it hadn't turned into anything much and I was actually feeling pretty energetic, and then dizziness hit. I don't think it's anything much, really, just being tired, but I've arranged to work from home tomorrow and will plough through some easier stuff that has sat on the back-burner and be able to give my eyes lots of rest. This is all particularly annoying not only because it is my birthday at the weekend, but because I had actually thought that I was kicking the skulker. I would say "better now than at Christmas", but it will probably be at Christmas as well. *sulks*

* Considerable consolation on the working at home front (when I was supposed to be bringing cake in, too!) is that the Eurosport app now works on the Amazon Firestick. All the winter sport I desire can be mine, with no need to plug the computer into the TV. Perhaps my fic productivity may increase!

* I am still reading 400 pages about Luther. It's really good, and really very readable, but this was the wrong time of year. I managed not to do the Reformation at all at school, and I know very little about the Holy Roman Empire either. I blame the lack of cartoon series starring dogs.

* Two weeks of work left until Christmas! On the downside that means that I have the Christmas shopping to do, but still. Two weeks left and then two weeks off, and a fortnight in which most other people are off too and won't be sending me loads of emails. I'm going to re-read The Lord of the Rings, it's been years.

Bah to the bug, I hope it does shift before Christmas and that you feel a bit better at least over the weekend for your birthday!

Urgh evil dizziness. But being able to watch special telly and use the laptop at the same time is a major improvement (see my Black Sails problem). It would still be better not toe be feeling rubbish though.

I would have guessed that in this day and age it would be quite easy to find cartoon series about dogs?

Probably! But not necessarily about dogs playing the key parts in the Reformation. Dogtanian is behind a lot of my knowledge of pre-1789 France...
