I’ve just had to order a new stapler and, due to an error in Amazonia, I now have 30,000 staples to work through! The offspring will be inheriting this stationery!
A few years ago I regularly switched over between different task managers (to-do) and notes apps. I now seem to have settled into a happy equilibrium with OmniFocus and Bear respectively.
Bumped into this elegant young cat while out for a wee stroll this evening.
I am re-reading J.G Ballard’s ‘High Rise’ and enjoying it. I think, without being too specific, he describes a form of social media in how residents relate to each other and the wider society around them.
There was a woman walked into the café I was just leaving wearing a tee-shirt saying “it’s weird being the same age as old people”
I like this a feel the same thing every day.
When I saw this I just thought of onomatopoeia.
One final visit to the Systembolaget yields a very fine Porter.
Me. According to a very quick sketch by the Master Animator.
I enjoyed reading Johan Theorin’s crime novel Echoes From the Dead (Skumtimmen in Swedish) set on the island of Öland while visiting the Island.

I visited my first Systembolaget in Sweden. I was presently surprised because I was expecting some Orwellian state-run store only selling Victory Gin! 😂
Today’s travel adventure…
New city, new stickers.
What movie could this possibly be?
“But what is the point of a film so stymied in its digitally encoded and generically prescribed world that it can’t even go through the motions, as that would imply some level of activity and signs of life?”
Can any UK-based travellers recommend a good European to UK mains converter. I’d like something well-designed rather than an airport blister pack solution.
My Apple iOS focus modes are currently switch automatically just as they should. I have learned these are like a ticking time bomb to manage. I should touch nothing at this point!
Purely for research purposes before a holiday there, some Swedish beers to try.
We have hung onto this suitcase from our extended family so long. It feels wrong to just hand it in to a charity shop but it’s sat empty for so many years.
Got my pendant back from repair after the loop at the top snapped off. They have made it more reinforced as it was originally just soldered.
The stone is a garnet mudlarked from the banks of the Thames.
I was going to make a spaghetti with Kale, chillies and anchovies on Friday. I decided to switch it to make a kale pesto with chillies, anchovies, parmesan and mixed nuts. Delighted with the results.
After a few days using the new Orea zero bypass coffee brewer I’m declaring it a good choice. I am enjoying the change in flavour from the Rwandan coffee beans I’m currently using.
Tonight’s beer was a classic English bitter. It was lovely and the icing on the cake was the typography on the label.
Now that SnapSeed has had a major update I have one big problem:
Swiping right reduces thing and swiping left increases them. That just goes against all my cultural stereotypes.
