According to Amazon UK my copy of Bujold's Captain Vorpatril's Alliance, the new Vorkosigan novel, just shipped, a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. It's been out as an ebook for a while, but I know that this is one I'll want in dead tree format.
With the early nights starting and the weather turning chilly walking to work is losing a lot of its charm, and I'm thinking more seriously about getting another bike.
A relatively new 250cc scooter or similar is probably what would be best for me and my current lifestyle. So why is it I keep lusting after old BMW boxers? Yes, for me they're a known quantity and I like them a lot, but do I really want another oversized 20-year-old bike, even one that's allegedly only done 51K miles?
