And it sounds like tai chi is not for you! I had that experience with karate, but so far tai chi is good.

Finished The Left Hand of Darkness in time to return it to the library. Slow start due to world building. It picked up half-way through. Use of anthropological artifacts throughout.

I just read "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity" by Carlo Cipolla. It's online (see link below) and it's a fast read.
An enjoyable and interesting read. I can't say I agree with his postulate that stupidity is built-in, but otherwise a clever essay. It does seem applicable to current events.

Last week I got these preloved:
The Garden Room (1986) is a bit of a coffee table book which I've flicked right through to look at the photos for ideas. We'd love to add one on to the house.Today at ÂŁ2.95 each...
The Complete Gardner (1994) seemed a very practical book with an excellent section on types& construction.
The OS Road Atlas (1990) is pure indulgence in these days of car satnav & phone maps. Ring roads and motorways may change but it has topographic detail that I love and is perfect for planning road trips.
This area for example, English Lake District and High Pennines is mostly unchanged in 35 years. -

Looks interesting. 7 words in 7 lines. Guessing there are no rhymes.
Do they flow?) -
Fifty-One
Given the situation we find ourselves in
We often wonder how we got here
Those who claim that life is short
Must be either insatiable and or megalomaniacal
Or they have a skewed view of
Things which is more than understandable
Given the situation we find ourselves in
