ten good things
Aug. 10th, 2019 11:58 pm- The local co-op does in fact sell my favourite yoghurt, so I have been getting to eat that (+ cut-price raspberries) for breakfast.
- We successfully hooked my laptop up to a TV for the purposes of My Talk On Debugging Relationships. (The slides do exist but they're very much "supporting the talk" so I will attempt to write them up properly for you all at... some point once I am back.)
- ... said talk was remarkably well-attended and a lot of people seemed to be getting a useful out of it, which, that is very cheering. There was also lots of excellent feedback and suggestions & I feel very lucky.
- Attended a session on disability in LARP, and actually contributed a couple of useful things, I think, from the disability perspective, for all that my knowledge of LARP is entirely second-hand osmosed.
- Sat on a beanbag and was intermittently sarcastic at A during his session on Being First Responders, during which the people present felt they Learned A Lot and also I made a suggestion that A hadn't considered in response to one of his scenarios, so, \o/
- Had a craving; made brownies. Brownies mostly inhaled. (I had mine with strawberries and raspberries, because there are both and we need eating.)
- Leftovers from yesterday's takeaway for dinner, because we had ordered Plenty Enough when it became apparent that it wasn't going to be trivial to use the kitchen.
- There is a weirdly high concentration of geologists, which means I am getting to nerd A LOT and my talk about rocks isn't even til tomorrow lunchtime.
- There are GOATS. I had not previously mentioned the GOATS. There are THREE OF THEM, with elegant little horns, and one of them is the excellent colour scheme where it's mostly brown with a very dark dorsal stripe and excellent stockings.
- I am enjoying the current book! I have been spending a lot of time curled up on a sofa Reading Books Sleepily and rather enjoying it.
Bonus: brought two walking sticks. Spent a bunch of today doing more walking without aids than I really should have done (entirely around the building, natch), but did then have access to both of them when I hit the point of No More Walking. And: played Dominion! With some people I hadn't played games with before! Without giving the in-advance spiel! It helped that I knew the game, obviously, but Even So, that is Definite Progress.
