Week 53: I forgot to add a title

September 7, 2019

I listened to the Bellingcat podcast about MH17 and it was good. There is something really familiar about the Bellingcat people - is that a weird thing to think? I feel like they’re from the same bit of the internet as me. Maybe I know someone who knows them.
Denise shared this thing from Nat from someone else about presenting. Even though I read Nat’s blog I had missed it. It was timely because I had just started writing a new talk. It contains lots of good references and links to other people, well worth a read.
E had her first night away from both Lachie and me. I’m typing this right after she’s left with her Grandparents (7pm Sunday night) and I feel quite sick. I can hear Lachie in the bathroom cheerfully whistling “I had a little Turtle” which is presumably a coping mechanism.
The mitten knittin’ has finished. I just blocked them. I’ve never blocked anything before.
What is it that I find so excruciating about the Trivago adverts. There is nothing obviously irritating about them and yet they are highly annoying.
Last weekend I got ID’d for buying firelighters in B&Q. I think what happened was that the man that ID’d me was very old and from the distance with which he was observing me I seemed as young as an 18 year old in the same way that it’s difficult to judge the distance of two things that are both far away.
Related: Did you know that the t-rex is closer in time to the iPod than it is to the stegosaurus? All the stegosauruses were already long long long dead when t-rex’s came along.
The man did eventually sell me the firelighters.
I have tangoed with dates enough to appreciate this. Did you know in the US and Australia they start the week on Sunday? SUNDAY?! Sunday is irrefutably part of the weekend. Week-end, week end.
Last night I fell asleep on the sofa at 8:30.
