Sore Accomplished

[kerravonsen]

I just walked from Mitcham Station to the other side of Springvale Road. In the dark and cold. It took me 50 minutes. Which is ten minutes longer than the last time I did that. But I was expecting to take an hour, so I still feel accomplished.
As well as very tired.

Oh, you want to know why? I was reading a book and missed my stop, and the stop after, and the stop after that, and the stop after that, and the stop after that, and the stop after that. The stop after that stop was Mitcham Station, which was also the last stop on that route.
I haven't done that in quite a while.

What was I reading? "Rainy Days" by Lory Lillian, a Pride And Prejudice AU. I'd gotten to the part where Darcy was proposing to Elizabeth - of course I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings!

Link to the story?

Sounds like it's not one for me, sadly. (but thanks for the link)

I think different things knock us out of books, and for me, the reviews suggest that the book has things that will make me lose focus, no matter how good the plot is.

I have done many silly things in the course of reading, including losing track of hours of time in one sitting, walking into telephone poles, and forgetting to eat. Who has time for anything else whilst in the midst of a brilliant book??
