Over The Hill Of Bones

"The Bone Season" by Samantha Shannon,  is a brilliant read. I said I thought it was two chapters, but it is two books, the main one followed by the prequel "The Pale Dreamer". It gets more engrossing as you go through, in a sort of dystopian Dickensian fashion. I am still wrestling with the concepts but that is part of the joy of this ride.

I recently discovered that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not on others. C'est La Vie.

Bad To The Bone Season

"The Bone Season" by Samantha Shannon,  is a brilliant read. I said I thought it was two chapters, but it is two books, the main one followed by the prequel "The Pale Dreamer". I have just picked this up again after being on holiday and the further I get into it the more I know that I will be getting the whole series in my library. It is very violent but I have documented that in previous posts, but I keep reading one more page because I want to know what is going to happen.

#Oktoberfest #5 - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer - George Thorogood

I am always confused by how slow office software is these days. We have Youtube and video streaming that processes and delivers  an enormous amount of information seamlessly , but you open an email application, word processing application and it's like you are wading through treacle. Apologists always use the excuse that "well it's doing a lot more than it used to". To paraphrase my inner Ron Swanson "Not An Excuse". It is running on very fast processors with unfeasibly large amounts of memory, so responses should be fast.

Incidentally I forgot to plug my Google Pixel phone in last night and this morning it's down to 27% , and the power consumption seems to have massively increased since the Android 10 upgrade, and apart from that I am not to sure what else has changed apart from the general fonts, and certain things don't work, such as I can't look at the video directory through the file manager. It's pointless complaining because everything is perfect when you actually do mention these things.

It's enough to make one turn to drink.... talking of which we have George Thorogood's take on Rudy Toombs' "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" which was first covered by Amos Milburn who will be appearing in this sequence as he recorded many drink related songs which has just reminded me of another one, so I might hit the fort posts in October that I have set myself.

Enjoy your Friday everyone.
