I would do loads of degrees. History, English, Psychology, Politics, Spanish, etc. Having the brain space to focus on learning would be amazing. I did my masters part time while working full time and it was a nightmare. Glad I did it but I couldn’t do my best as I was bogged down in work stuff.

I would also like to learn more languages. I do a bit of Spanish and Danish when I can but I rarely have the mental energy after work.

Travel too. Maybe write a book.

Hope everyone gets better soon. Had Covid twice and the sore throat is the worst, feels like you’ve swallowed glass.

That’s great news! Sometimes I think things are better without a ‘conversation’ if you know what I mean. They can see you’re happy as you are and you don’t necessarily have to put pressure on yourself to explain anything.

Mixed bag so far. It’s been hot over here and I’ve barely slept so feel like hell. Auditioned for a new choir this evening and got in which was nice, it’s a great choir but just annoying that it’s the opposite side of the city.

Seriously considering getting an ebike now that they’ve ended one of the escooter trials here. Hard to know where to start though, not had a bike since I was a teenager.

I still think they’re real.

It’s in pockets of Tumblr as well, feels so dystopian. I’m all for language change but this depersonalising of terms like ‘kill’ is just creepy

That’s a thing?!

How is that relevant?

A lovely thought. Might not be effective in big city centres though, when I was living in London people were always trying to hand you things. You get resistant very quickly.

Not a reason not to do it, just try not to take it personally if you get rebuffed.

Also I love the wildflower card idea someone else mentioned

This is probably unhelpful as it doesn’t exist anymore, but I used to love Jinni, that was essentially that. Would give good recommendations, found some great French films I never would have seen otherwise

Cats definitely wouldn’t

It’s been a good but intense week so far. Back to work with a 3 day intensive python course, which was interesting (and a long time coming, I have asked for training for 3 years now). Looking forward to putting it into use now I understand the basics.

Otherwise not a lot to write home about. Looking into new choirs prior to the new term starting, in one already but quit the second one I was in as the music wasn’t to my taste.

Sending positive thoughts, hope they pull through

That must be incredibly frustrating, but it’s also good to see the anaesthetists take their job so seriously. Hope you don’t have to wait too long

Congratulations! Hope it all goes smoothly

One of those foods I only really have when on holiday, can’t deal with the smell when I cook at home

I can if anyone would find it remotely interesting! I am posting on Mastodon. Honestly it’s been brilliant so far

Welcome back!

I’m on holiday at the Edinburgh fringe festival. Had like an hour’s sleep but seen some great comedy already today. Treated myself to mussels and ice cream (not together) for dinner, looking forward to passing out at my hotel. Walked miles today which was much needed exercise even if my feet hurt!

Long day full of shows tomorrow, can’t wait. Hardest thing will be pacing myself caffeine and alcohol wise. I’m not good at staying out all day

Hope your weekend has a better prognosis

Questions that invite introspection often end up that way I think. I don’t mind, sometimes you just need to shout into the void.

Sounds exciting, good luck with the job hunt!

Also cat tax please 🙂
