craft - hemmed the last two hankies, sewed the bottom row of chaosmanor's quilt, started on prep for the middle row. Failed to progress the crochet blanket because picking it up made me cranky (sore hands)
music - there wasn't a good time for playing the piano; Youngest was at home and studying much of the day, including doing an online timed assessment, so I didn't have access to the room. It also meant recorder was out. I did, however, finish the tidy up of my Monday rehearsal folder, and I have a few things to put in the archive file.
physio exercises: I attempted, I managed three squats, and ow. I'm not sure what is going on with the left ('good') knee but it is very clicky and I'm not pushing it. And that demotivated me for the other two exercises (push ups, calf raises). Bleargh.
reading: DNF'ed Butcher Bird at ~30% for failing to be sufficiently interesting; progressed Joe Cinque's Consolation (now at 53%) although I have to keep stopping to do something else because it is rather confronting. Struggling with the fact that that and Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow are the two active books, because they are both quite dark and difficult reading. I had hoped that Butcher Bird was going to be light enough reading, which yes, it was, I was just bored. I've loaded a few alternatives onto the ipad (and I need to get back to Moby Dick).
I feel like I must have done other things today, but I can't actually think what. I've spent a little bit of time writing, and a little bit of time sorting files, and a little bit of time thinking about reading research papers, and a bit of time lying on the couch (reading, I guess?) but none of that feels like Stuff I Have Done.
