todayiamadaisyCan you tell if a macaque wants to bite you? I scored 83% on the quiz. I can really read a macaque, apparently.

It has been a giddy social whirl this week. I've been out twice. Twice! What a social butterfly I am. (I am not.) On Thursday I went to see some stand-up comedy, Jimeoin. I saw him about ten years ago and it was a riot. This year, meh. Still funny, but he didn't seem all that thrilled to be there.
Last night, my mother and I went back to the little town where she and John lived, where her former neighbours were holding a house concert. Their son is a country/folk musician and guitar maker who is touring the east coast and playing in living rooms, including his parents'. So for twenty dollars and a plate of nibbles each, about forty people got an intimate concert. So that was nice.
The only problem is that being out in the crisp winter air has made me wheezy, so I've had to get my inhaler out for the first time in over twelve months. So if I never write another entry, it's because I've died from puffing out-of-date Ventolin.

Due to work/reading for academic purposes/knitting (mostly the academic reading though), my leisure reading was very light on in May. So here is:
May book read
* The Shepherd's Crown - Terry Pratchett (2015) ★ ★ ★ ★
This one is hard to judge. It's not perfect, but it's Pratchett's last book: finished, but not fully developed or polished. It's a Tiffany Aching novel, but some of non-witch Discworld characters make quick cameos to say good-bye.

Weekly knitting update: I am up to starting decreasing for the neck. This is actual progress. I may yet get to wear it this winter.
