Pocket 0

2.5 weeks ago I learned that Pocket was going to shut down imminently. I used it regularly, for many years, and still had 1461 unread saved articles waiting to be read. I’m pleased to say that I have now read them all - rather miraculous, given that I am asleep literally most of each 24 hours. I am now fully switched back to Instapaper, which I used long before. It also has the advantage of working better with my iPod touch - my main device when resting in bed for so much time - which can’t go newer than iOS 15.

Onto the 1990s ...

Continuing typing up notes for my next blog post, about fave/rec books, one published for each year of my life. Have now typed up the 1990s book choice notes. Over halfway! Words added tonight include "stuffed tiger", Orcadian, "Potato" and Eurythmics. Semi cryptic clues, or maybe not very!

I'm amused that more history books are creeping into my list now, though it's still a relatively small number. And also noting that I seem to have a decent number of Saltire Scottish Book of the Year winners on my list.
