It’s quite hard to photograph two loaves of sourdough and not make them look like breasts.

Status:

Recovery day so mostly sofa and jigsaws. Fi went clothes shopping and picked me up some fleecy things to replace my increasingly threadbare fleecy things, so I have a new wardrobe which I will doubtless be wearing every day now for the next couple of years.

After 15 days the cold appears to have mostly cleared up. I am ecstatic. Yay.

Insomniac Listening:

• In Our Time: The Sistine Chapel

Music listening:

• Sleater-Kinney - The Woods

Reading:

• Heavy metal is healing teens on the Blackfeet Nation
• Grace Jones’ Slave To The Rhythm at 40 - we’re at the point where stuff that came out when I was on the cusp of teenagerdom is having 40 year retrospectives. This is a nice one.

Watching:

• Jack Mack Woodturning - Elm burl into a decorative vase
• Marbula One Season 6 GP1 - this really is surprisingly tense stuff.

Telly:

• The Other One - Fi’s watching this and I’m getting invested. Main character reminds me of one of our friends if her life had taken a normie turn and she hadn’t been able to embrace her weird.
• Taskmaster
• The Pursuit of Love - not as cutting a satire as I remember but still fun to revisit. Emily Beecham’s facial expressions are an acting masterclass.
