Velociraptor Sep 2021 5:01pm, 1 Sep 2021 53,971 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor I've started quite enough things in the last few days of August I'll commit to finishing reading the one fiction and one non-fiction book I've got on the go and to getting the parts of the garden I've started working on ready to be put to bed for the winter by the end of September.

GimmeMedals Sep 2021 7:57pm, 1 Sep 2021 21,295 posts	Quote Pin GimmeMedals I think I'll have a go at reading James Joyce's "Ulysses". I've had a copy for a few years - after finding out about Bloomsday - but not attempted to read it, putting it off until I retired. But then we haven't been on holiday so I haven't started it. Now can be the time This review within a review has me intrigued: “'Ulysses' is an overwrought, overwritten epic of gratingly obvious, self-congratulatory, show-off erudition that, with its overstuffed symbolism and leaden attempts at humor, is bearable only by terminal graduate students who demand we validate the time they've wasted reading it.” Ouch. This is the kind of wet-blanket misinformation that you will have to ignore if you want to have any fun. And "Ulysses" is fun—maybe the best book you take to the beach this summer.

Autumnleaves Sep 2021 9:13pm, 1 Sep 2021 17,024 posts	Quote Pin Autumnleaves Hi! Have caught up with the thread so far... mine are both restarts - but I am surprisingly nervous! First, new RR Couch to 5k course is starting on Saturday. Sophie has stepped down, I have one new coach and a lot of newish runners in the main group that I am hoping won't drift away while I'm not looking. Then I have to embrace hybrid working and get back to the office - there's a few things to unpack there... Anyway if those are in the right spirit, I'm in!

The Pin Lady Sep 2021 7:27am, 2 Sep 2021 630 posts	Quote Pin The Pin Lady I am going to re-upholster my late FiL's chair this month. I have the material, the frame is stripped down so I just need a kick up the backside get started and finished. So watch this space for pictures. I have never 're-upholstered anything before so could be interesting.
