May. 3rd, 2020 11:11 pmReading. The Story of My Life, Helen Keller.
I've finished her actual autobiographical writing and am now on to a curated collection of her letters, 1887-1901. (I'm considering whether I actually want to read them, because the introductory framing is so earnest about treating her like a fascinating specimen that... well. That.)
Here are some feelings: ( Read more... )
Watching. Under Night Streets (1958), a charming wee BBC documentary about overnight maintenance on the Underground.
The She-Ra Season 5 trailer (!!!).
Planet Earth: jungles. Content notes: parasites, insects various.

Listening. TMA! Just had episode 24 on our relisten. Implied spoilers up to 104. ( Read more... )
Cooking. So much food.

Growing. Moving the tomatoes to the greenhouse has been doing an excellent job of getting me out to the allotment at least every other day.

Playing. It's been a good week in PoGo! Two big (95%, high-level) wild-caught Machop; a(nother) shiny Magikarp; a 95% Lillipup; a 98% Chansey (field research, I think?); a shiny Mawile from a Rocket encounter, that'll be 91% once purified. Dubious about this weird Charizard-hat-wearing Pikachu; very pleased they've expanded the interaction range for Pokéstops, which now means I can reach the one over the road from my sofa without relying on GPS glitches.
I note for my own interest that I've been struggling to make time for horn more than usual this week, with a higher proportion of Yeah One Token Note It Is Then days, but also I've got the legato exercises reliably down to half an hour including however much repetition I want to do, and I had another go at Using A Metronome (which I'm doing only intermittently) and established that actually playing in strict time I am unequivocally managing to go lots faster (and more accurately!) than I was last time I tried this particular exercise.
I keep toying with the idea of getting myself some more Portal achievements for the dopamine. I think I might see if I can leverage that into Making Some Plots.
