Diary Entry May 17

Posted byScattered Thinker 5 Comments on Diary Entry May 17

Let’s see if a weekly diary works out to revive the blog.

Currently located in Sagres, due to leave at the end of the month.

Recently ditched FB and am working on the Two Snails blog.

A new laptop, to share, arrived this week. Windows 11. Will I get the hang? Took the half-price subscription to Office and am hoping that having Word at hand will get me writing again.

Piling on weight. My Achilles is acting up again, so I haven’t been walking – which is not exactly the point of being here for a month. We were going to walk daily.

I have every urge to walk and take the camera with me, then return and write. Can’t see that happening for a while.

Looks as though little has changed during the hiatus!

Currently Reading

Completed My Good Bright Wolf, by Sarah Moss, on my Kindle and have loaded something a bit lighter for reading next: Ajax Penumbra 1969, by Robin Sloan. I quite enjoyed his Mr Penumbra’s 24 Hour Bookstore.

Currently Watching

Finished binge-watching both series of Andor, and then re-watched Rogue One. Andor was good, better than most SW output.

Last night we tried Murderbot. What can I say, but that I think that the humour was lost somewhere over the mid-Atlantic.

Currently Knitting

Nothing, really. Almost 600 days ago, I packed wool and needles for making a Domino Blanket, one square a day. I have made precisely one square, and that was on Day 1 of this trip.

  1. Woot! Just looking for something else and remembered the name of your blog, and here you are – or not.

    How’s things? How’s you & him? Where are you off to now?

    1. Fenny! Fenny, Fenny, Fenneeeeee! How wonderful to see you. Miss you so much. That’s entirely my fault. I think of you, intend to write, then…. my brain holds nothing these days. Meant to send birthday greetings, then forgot… so Happy Belated Birthday to you, my dear friend. Can we catch up some time? Email or chat or video, or something? Things are pretty damn good, thank you. We are both in good humour, and health (ish). We are currently not going anywhere but in a state of Just Come Back. There will be some news here, soon-ish, but more on the Two Snails blog. Also Polarsteps. I am back here today with Intent. All will come to light, probably. TLDR: abandoning Social Meedja for sake of sanity, wanting to get the blogs going again, be more creative, occupy my own space. At this momnet doing security updates. It might take a while to get things the way that I wish to have them. Much love from the two of us (no furry fiends)

      And how are you doing?

      1. You’re not the only one who means to get in touch and then forgets. I think it’s something in the water. That and all the stuff life flings around to keep us confuzzled. Any of my gmail addresses should find me and we can arrange a proper catch up.
