Resuming latest Babylon 5 rewatch

This has been on hold for nearly a year. With my recurring flares and heavy sedation we were struggling even to manage to fit in just one episode a week, after our Sunday night dinner.

But now restarted, aiming for that Sunday night slot. And we’re picking up where we’d got to, with season 2 episode 15* “There All The Honour Lies”. Luckily we have watched the whole run many times, so know the overarching plot well. Otherwise we might be a bit confused about the arc plot after such a long gap.

Watching this it does feel like revisiting old friends and a favourite place. I hope we can keep the momentum going. There are some stunning episodes coming soon. Seasons 2 and 3 are my favourites of the run.

* actually might be #14. But it’s far through the season anyway.

Borrowing from the library

Recently rejoined the public library (Angus Libraries). I struggle with print due to progressive neurological illness - indeed have done for 25+ years - so borrowed a mass of illustrated/painting/photography books. Latest catalogue request from elsewhere in Angus is a new manga Sherlock Holmes. Fab!

It is encouraging I can still find physical books I want to borrow, even if I can't read print or even large print now. And it's marvellous how the online library catalogue lets me call books in from all over Angus. There's a particularly good Scottish cultural/history collection in store at Forfar.

Meanwhile I continue to read masses on my Kindle. I have a huge pile of ebooks on my virtual to read pile. I often snap them up when they're on reduced sale price. I buy far more ebooks than I ever get read! But at least it lets me keep reading extended fiction and non fiction. With gargantuan font.
