    Birthday brunch on Saturday! Chores on Sunday (laundry, ironing, cleaning). Otherwise, chill at home.

    • Spend some time posting stuff in the !journaling@sh.itjust.works, hopefully encouraging members to participate more. Things have started to move in the right direction which makes me even more convinced there are a lot more people that could share real good/interesting/useful/fun content. One just needs to find how to encourage them.
    • Write a letter and send it to a friend, the old-school snail mail way.
    • Read (a paper book) and write (on sheets of paper, with a fountain pen). Yep, I try to spend as much time as I can away from any screen.
    • Do chores. Yeah! (Don’t tell anyone, I cheated as little as I started the laundry today already)
    • Get over that nasty cold I got a couple days ago.
    • If that cold allows, get out for my daily walks.
    • Last but certainly not not least, spend as much time as I can with my spouse, being silly together. It doesn’t matter if we’re well into our 50s and are supposed to be serious and all that, or if we’ve been silly together for 25 years already, it’s always a lot of fun ;)

      I haven’t done it much recently, but I do love writing by hand. Carefully writing letters to give to my D&D group with my ink and quill. Composing on paper with a pencil and rubber. There’s something much more personal about it than typing on a screen.

        So much! Like receiving (and sending) a handwritten letter. I don’t now, It encourages to care much in reading and/or answering it.

    I have a cold so mostly sitting around and feeling sorry for myself. I was going to babysit my friend’s sweet baby for them tomorrow while they move but I can’t get him sick. I still have to work but at least that’s from home.

    On the bright side we had a good vet visit for my pug yesterday who has tracheal stenosis and a bad cough as a result and got him some better medication and he had a good night last night. He was very annoyed to be on the exam table and despite the fact he can’t really see anymore was bound and determined to get off that table RFN. It’s funny seeing him still be himself at his advanced age.

    One of the more eventful weekends of the year for me this weekend.

    Going to the 1st day of the 3rd test match between India and Australia tomorrow. Unfortunately rain is predicted pretty much all day, so there may not be much actual cricket played.

    Then riding to the opening of a new green bridge on Sunday. A very nice change after attending a protest this evening about the closure of a major bikeway so the local casino can run an event for 2 weeks.

    Pay bills, send receipts to my accountant, smoke weed, play DayZ.

    I also should protect my fruit trees from rabbits but we’ll see about that.
