< Apricitous Temperature Check

First day of Winter for us here too. It's glorious. Recently I've been spending 10 minutes or so every morning before work just sitting with the back window open letting the cold air in whilst drinking a coffee, and today you could see what I hope to be a permanent frost line creeping down the hills.

Weirdest / best book:

• Of recent times would have to be *Friday Black* by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah[0]. It has this incredible sense of momentum and detachedness that hits a lot of real issues in a really abstract way.

• Ever, would have to be either *Shadow of the Torturer* by Gene Wolfe, or *Fifth Head of Cerberus* by Gene Wolfe[1] ("The familiar made strange", "the uncertainty principle made real").
