Lav is still nonplussed about the snow but Wally is out and about in it. He was hanging around me much more than usual though. It was almost like having a dog for a while there.
Status:
Did an hour of work for Loaf today, getting the online shop ready for the new year - hopefully for the last time as a the jury-rigged Wordpress mess I oversaw will be replaced by something else in the spring. It might be equally jury-rigged (e-commerce is not optimised for baked goods, I find) but it won’t be my mess anymore. Felt a bit deflated afterwards and had a good chat with Fi about stuff which helped.
I have my rearranged appointment with the chronic fatigue therapist in a fortnight which couldn’t come sooner really. I have a lot of questions about how this all plays out.
Overnight listening:
- If Books Could Kill: Elon Musk pt 2 - I like their thesis that Walter Issacson went into this wanting to write a Great Man biography and didn’t, or wouldn’t, realise he was witness to a much bigger story about the radicalisation of the billionaire class.
Reading:
- Discourse 2000: Out on the wildy, windy moors: Judge Dredd – The Cursed Earth - I’d say this is the first 2000AD story that properly defines 2000AD for me, taking it from another kids comic to something quite distinct and other.
Completed:
- 45 groups of 45 - I’ll admit to discovering all the groups are in the source code so I had that open in another window for the final stretch for when I really had no fucking idea. Still took me four days. My fellow CFS suffering friend did it on her phone in three. Go girl! Back to the jigsaws for me then.
Telly:
- Wild London - lovely cozy Attenborough telly, though I was a bit disconcerted when he said hedgehogs “prefer” slugs. They don’t. They eat them as a last resort and should not be relied upon as slug control. Still, whatever gets the public to look after them is OK with me.
- University Challenge - the Christmas specials continue to entertain with panels of old people totally out of their depth. Lancaster were particularly hilarious.
