dammit. now i know why i could smell perfume - bottle shattered in my bag at some point in the week since i last opened the 'selection box'. at no point did anything get wet, but the high conc. of perfume and essential oils means that, oh boy that's a lot of scent.

So I get a bit of cervix or near bleeding, and practise says ‘get a smear to check for changes’
Smear result comes back as only having looked for HPV and no further. Which wasn’t the point and even in the appt where said cervix Bled On The Test, I was told it would be checked Completely.
Argh.

Counterpoint... The British government should buy all its civil servants copies of SPEC FIC FOR NEWBIES so they can better advise ministers about evil AIs, representations of climate change, conflict in space, and, erm, <flicks through pages> dragons; dragons deserve a COBRA meeting, right?!

Right. Cd player in car seems fine, and even dealt with the large buff area on one of the charity shop finds. So now the mission is to acquire the (OG variant) Pratchett audiobooks on CD, from charity shops natch.

yesterday i was muttering about reading a million words. today i totally forgot about it until a few minutes ago...
I think i'll do this, but will start on the TBR pile and work out the words from there. 10x100k books (ish) in 30days is very doable and, um, the pile is a fair bit longer than that!

so.... is there a list anywhere with the word counts of various books?
the million thing itch is back and... i'm wondering if i could read a million in 30 days? (without re-reading the very large Alan Moore book. because yes, i would be re-reading as i got it from the library when it was first out)
