Status:

Recovery day. I suppose the goal now is for there to be no more recovery days, once I find my activity baseline. Can’t say I’ll miss them.

Overnight listening:

• In Our Time: The Roman Arena

Music:

• Been listening to a lot of Gillian Welch today. Amused to see her described as “Americana” which I guess is country-for-cool-people. (Yes, I know it’s a whole different thing…)

Reading:

• Garbage Day: We’re joining the general strike
• Mackenzie Crook on comedy, cruelty and being TV royalty - nice to see him looking back on the cruelty of The Office with horror. He’s very much occupying a not-Gervais space.
• Collecting a whole deck of cards (by finding them on the street)
• Matt Goodwin and the end of England
• Kristen Stewart on her audacious feature directing debut

Watching:

• Simone Giertz - This lamp changes every time you look at it ‌(16:45) - on a recovery day when you’re feeling a little low there’s nothing better than a new Simone video.
• Ants Pants - Big work shop build ep1 - New concrete pad ‌(2:01:44)

Telly:

• Amadeus
