kaberett1. Counselling is just around the corner from the V&A. aella_irene likes the V&A. Ergo we had lunch sat on the art installation You Know You Cannot See Yourself So Well as by Reflection, having spent the morning hanging out in the ironwork collection. (My plan for next time involves making friends with the glass gallery; wrought iron is something I just... find incredibly soothing, for reasons I haven't quite articulated but that include the fact that it's very stark in terms of colours involved, and has lots of nice bold lines and repeating patterns.)
2. Relatedly, plants: the hydrangeas up the sides of the central courtyard are currently fantastic, as are the other plantings, andaella_irene very generously gave me a bag of her household's surplus raspberries, so that was a joy and a delight.
3. Our internet connection is unstable enough (and I'm undermedicated enough) that I don't particularly feel like coding; nonetheless I made lots of progress with my Dreamwidth todo list today.
4. I have now got (almost) all the paperwork I need for my ESA application -- I got a sick note from my GP this afternoon and it was completely painless. I also checked through the paperwork they sent me and highlighted perplexing bits. For my next trick I have to e-mail my MP to ask what on earth I'm supposed to do about the fact that having spent 10 weeks in California in 2011 on a summer placement apparently means that I need a statement from the Home Office about my residency status, but I've drafted that one in my head so we're good.
5. Peak 90s Kid: my mum frantically facebook IMing me for tech support. I sort of provided it, ineffectually, and she actually sorted the problem out by herself, and that means there exist more photos on the internet of me & largest smallcousin.
6. We had tinned pineapple in the house; we now have pineapple upside-down cake.
7. Another batch of rosemary sourdough is rising on the side, to be breakfast-and-lunch food.
8. I have Steam installed on the new laptop and it was rapid and painless and completely unlike most of my other attempts to install Steam under Debian. This means that I now have a MOUNTAIN yes yes.
9. Every time I reread your blue-eyed boys I find more things in it, and they are comfort and they are in their fragmentary way moments of peace.
10. Externally-sourced self-worth: my comments on the MeFi thread are getting favourited by lots of people & positively engaged with. Hurrah for managing to say things that are useful to people.
