Am planning a blog-free day so I can catch up on all the other stuff on the 'to do' list. By blog-free, I mean I won't be adding more posts to A Snail's Eye View. (After this one, obviously.) I've already done one round of my favourite blogs and will probably do another round later today. But I won't be writing anything for this one.

The house is a shambles. (Not literally, you understand. And I'm not sure if it's a bigger mess than the back yard but one thing at a time.) I haven't seen the mouse for a while, so I imagine it's given up and moved to somewhere more House & Garden. Possibly the empty property across the road.

I've still got a stack of books to read, including Cormac McCarthy's The Road, which I bought ages ago and is sitting in the pile. It's easy to lose momentum with reading, so I'm going to set aside a couple of hours for that today. Probably the same couple of hours I planned to spend cleaning the bathroom, laundry and kitchen. Yes, that sounds reasonable.

And then there's an article on the effect of habitat fragmentation on invertebrates that I promised to write this weekend. I'd forgotten all about it.

So, if I'm going to achieve all this, I'd better start now.

After breakfast. (Yes, I got up very late.)
