  1. I’m reading a book on postcards that I got for my birthday that’s really grabbing my attention right now. And I realised it was by a science/history writer that I liked before! And she has a book I haven’t read, on a topic of potential interest…
  2. I got good sleep last night.
  3. Supportive friends who comforted me about the fact that yesterday was the 10th anniversary of my grandad’s death, and who reminded me to remember the good times too.

  1. Going back to an old habit of sitting in the living room (where my wife works) for the first part of the day is nice. I get to watch the bunnies capering around while I work.
  2. I’ve been reading a lot lately.
  3. Someone in my LSHTM Whatsapp group mentioned that we can get extensions of a year without having to pay a huge fee. I haven’t sorted it out myself yet, but worth trying.

  2. A nearby tree is covered in pretty red flowers.

  1. Only 30 quests until we finish the original storyline of FFXIV! So many questions to get answered in so short a time.
  2. We got our energy bill below £90 for the first time since the last price cap increase. It was August, so you know, no heating etc, but still, a good step.
  3. Been pretty productive this morning so far, feels nice.

  1. Starting my day with reading. In this case, a reread of K.J. Charles’ A Fashionable Indulgence. Loved it all over again, glad I had time to finish it up this morning.
  2. FFXIV’s story is just… aaaah. I hope it’s going to stick the landing, but I’m loving the journey.
  3. Mum’s been visiting Grandma, and says her cataract operation is being sorted out, and so is an appointment with audiology. That might make it a bit easier to keep in touch!

  1. We had a large pile of mulch delivered today.
  2. Jeremy helped me move it away from the front gate even though he was about due to go out to visit friends.

  1. Started reading a book that was compulsive enough I didn’t want to go to sleep, and then when I picked it up to do my bit of morning reading, didn’t want to get out of bed. (Under the Whispering Door, by T.J. Klune. I’m not even sure how much I like it, in some ways… but it’s pulling me along all the same.)
  2. Focusmate will help me get an ugh-y task done.
  3. Playing around with ideas with Lisa is always a lot of fun.
