(Still) not dead.

Urgh. I seem to have been rather quiet recently; this is mostly due to the new government policy of having the DWP make life really ridiculously difficult for disabled people*. I may rant about this more thoroughly later.

* for those who argue that this was also the previous government's policy. Well, yes, alright, you have a point. make life even more really ridiculously difficult, then.

In other news, so far this year I have (according to my notes) read twenty-four books that I'd not previously read (and failed to complete one other); around half of those were borrowed. In the last fortnight, I've acquired nearly forty books, one way or another (plus I have another half-dozen library books to read). I should probably try to cut down :) (OTOH, it's a relatively affordable type of retail therapy, and unlike chocolate and booze it doesn't come with health problems. Space problems, yes, but maybe I can part with a relativebook or two I don't need any more to resolve those.)
