  1. Did some very satisfying clearing out yesterday. Go me!
  2. Cuddles with Biscuit.
  3. Finding an old youtube short I made of Breakfast, one of our former rabbits. It made me smile. Maybe it will make you smile too.

  1. Fun ideas for treating people. I’m glad my brain is good at this.
  2. “One of the bunnies” has bought me a book to cheer me on with my studies etc. (I.e. my wife has, but forgive us our saccharine little games!)
  3. Recleared M5S in FFXIV in a single pull last night, which left me lots of time for some personal catchup stuff.

  1. Went to my favourite bakery in town super-early, and bought croissants and pain aux chocolate for breakfast
  2. Built a very smart bamboo frame around the tall grasses in the garden, to stop them flopping all over the place. Looks great, with some carefully-tied Japanese square knots to hold them together!
  3. Finally got my standard text expander working on my Linux box - turned out the newest version fails, and I had to revert back to an earlier one.

  1. Way oversaved for tax!
  2. Released some money from my tax budget: partly for housing stuff, but also a bit to myself for books and such.
  3. New books!

  1. Cat was all clear on the CT scan (yes, a CAT scan for the cat… you can also do Positron Emission Tomography scans combined with these, giving you a PET-CAT scan…)
  2. Rain last night, saving me from watering the other half of the garden
  3. Delicious home-made “Oreo cookies” from X

  1. New lens arrived for camera - ridiculously large telephoto for the small camera body, but the quality is really good.
  2. The place we get our loose teas has many choices, and most are great: currently enjoying the “Russian Caravan”.
  3. Found a slightly off-beat but very entertaining two-part documentary about the octopus (on Amazon Prime, at least over here)

  1. The house is now marked as “let agreed” on the site… Not that we’ve signed anything yet.
  2. It rained last night and that was very nice to listen to while going to sleep.
  3. A day packed full of reading and gaming is planned for today, to help regenerate my mind to resume studying on Monday.

  1. Studying today is indeed going better than it did on Friday.
  2. Still staying at my parents’ house for a bit, and my sister’s off travelling – meaning I get the bathroom we’d usually share to myself. Mwahaha!
  3. Not coincidentally, I have plans to have a relaxing bath this evening.

  1. Tutors are running an exam prep session this evening.
  2. FFXIV friends are supportive and understanding about the fact that I can’t do the new content much yet and have asked them to be chill about it and not tease me about what I’m missing out on.
  3. My bubble bath with book was very nice.

  1. Some of my FFXIV friends are actually waiting for me rather than starting the new content. :sob::blue_heart: Definitely not something I asked for, but I’m so touched.
  2. Exceptionally good sleep last night. Which… is perhaps more like my usual standard sleep from last year, probably, but it’s unusual for me right now and it was nice.
  3. I’m still managing to make a fair bit of reading time, despite the exam prep, so that’s helping me stay as relaxed as I ever do with an exam on the horizon.

  1. Got my hair cut today so it won’t get in my eyes for my exams. So glad my usual hairdresser managed to fit me in.
  2. Learned about an indie bookshop in York for crime stories! I don’t know if they have much classic crime as well, but I guess I’ll find out tomorrow…
  3. I’m as prepared as I’m going to be for my immunology exam (on Monday) – now I’m just trying to chill out enough to feel relaxed and ready to adapt to whatever comes.
