📚 Librarians on 20 easy, enjoyable ways to read more. I think number 11 “remove any distractions” is my main impediment to reading these days. I need to put the devices out of reach.
📺 Time to watch the Shogun finale. Held over last week’s so I could finish with a double episode.
📺 Vera is ending after 14 seasons. My mother is going to be very upset.
Brenda Blethyn to Leave ‘Vera’ as Detective Show Announces Final Season
I’ve been thinking about where to post longer thoughts as I have both Scribbles and micro blog. I quite like the way @amerpie has linked to his longer Scribbles post within the shorter micro blog post but I’m undecided on whether I want to maintain two platforms or not.
I keep stalling
Do you have a folder full of drafts? Thoughts started but not finished.
I don't mean those emails we all draft to get the real response out of
our system before writing the polite version. I mean the longer thoughts
that belong on a blog or as a longer mastodon post.
My draft
folder is getting larger because I seem to be stuck in a place of not
being happy with what I've written and leave it there to come back and
review and redraft later. Then I see someone else write on the same
topic and do a much better job so I decide I need to refine even more.
It's a circle I keep going round and round and I need to stop stalling
and start posting.
🌧️ Caught in the rain, no piña coladas though.
I went to a funeral this morning and they’re Irish so of course there was the traditional wake after. We’re three hours in and no sign of stopping any time soon. Thank goodness it’s a Friday and nothing to do tomorrow so I can recover 🍻
Downloading my instagram archive and selected everything for the date range. My great grandparents signed me up via telegram.
🚶♂️ Gorgeous 22°c autumn afternoon for a walk. Lot of people getting their insta content in the late afternoon sun along the river.
☕ Coffee required. Sitting on a selection panel for most of today. Writes off the whole day as the brain won’t be up for actual work by the time we finish at 4pm.
