March madness

So, I've changed the colours again. You know me, always trying to be pretty ;)
This month has been busy! It started with field work and my first ever total site evacuation; very calm, very cool and under control. Everything was cleared up by the next day, but I'm really glad that I was back in town while the critical decisions were made. Then, home for two days, doing laundry like mad (Jeff had just gotten back from the field as well) and we packed up the car with the road bikes and headed for Napa/Sonoma. I've posted the campsite pics on my facebook page.
It was gorgeous! No face-endangering collisions with this year's spring bike trip. With travelling for work, Jeff and I were sick and tired of random hotels, so we camped every night and spent all of our money on food. Holy - stick two vegetarians with biking level appetites in California for a week; you can just imagine our food bill! The dinners, the breakfasts, oh my oh my... (do I even have to mention the wine?!)
So last weekend was my first at home, and I should have updated my blog (sorry Julie!) but, surprise surprise, Jeff is away and I spent the weekend with new library books. I'm all into a new genre (though I think I am the only one to categorise these) - first books by people who are blooming fiction from their trained profession. It started with this month's book club pick of Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures. I read it up at the aforementioned field site and started what is now 20 pages of murder mystery fiction based in my profession. I have since read Spanish private school murder mystery written by a teacher in Spain, a silicon valley murder mystery written by an early-retirement dot.com-er (about early-retirement dot.com-ers), and a fiction about a young man who follows his girlfriend to Thailand and works as a journalist, written by, yes, a young man who followed.. you get the idea.
That's about it for me. I have some seeds itching to get into the ground to grow and cover all of our new-suburb dirt, but it is currently snowing. Ah spring. If anyone is inspired to share, I would appreciate recommendations for my new reading lists. Murder and mayhem with railway employees? University administrators gone mad? Aussie snaps in the fashion industry? Just some ideas....
