Should've gone yesterday

Yesterday was a lovely day - blue skies, sunshine...but cold. I stayed in, watched the Coronation Street omnibus, read my 
book
(which I finished today, having started it yesterday! I really enjoyed it.), watched a recording of "The Other Boleyn Girl" and went on the bike trainer. I thought about going for a walk, but decided to go today instead.
And today is grey, miserable...and even colder! I feel most disinclined to go out. But I really ought to, if only to gather extra calories for My Fitness Pal! Then I can have that glass of wine with my beef casserole, mashed potatoes, roast butternut squash and oven baked cabbage. Also I've got a box full of cooked vegetable peelings for the chickens.
I have started another book.

I really like Mark Radcliffe's show (with Stuart Maconie) on Radio 2 - see link to the side. I'd recommend anyone who likes slightly quirky humour, and good modern music to listen. I'm not totally convinced by the writing style: it's a little too conversational for me, but we shall see. I'm not that far into it yet.
The Dan Waddell was great: a crime thriller (which I enjoy) linked with genealogy (which I find interesting). There wasn't exactly a "twist" but I got to the important link a few pages before the protagonists did. If you like crime thrillers I'd say it was worth giving it a go. It doesn't require a lot of concentration (as opposed to, say, Rebus) but is a good read. There's another one in the series, so I'll add that to my Books I Want to Buy List. (currently standing at 16)
