Let’s try this for a change.
Sleep: Ugh! Not enough last night. I woke up around 4.15 and didn’t fall back asleep. I didn’t feel overly anxious, so I have no idea what kept me awake.
Breakfast/Lunch: On Saturday I got back on the “intermittent fasting” track. I’m not as active as I could / should be, but I really want to shed some weight, because I know it will make me feel more comfortable. Today is another fasting day and that’s my sad breakfast/lunch. Not posting for sympathy or pity, because I chose to do this, so….
Podcasts: I’m finding more and more interesting talks /podcasts I want to check out. Sometimes it’s just a guest I’m interested in and then I realize the host / format is actually quite nice as well and I subscribe. I’ll never ever get to listen to all the episodes in my queue already. What’s really bugging me though is, when talks (2-3 people with each other) are sort of marketed as podcasts, but in the end it’s “just” a video of the talk / interview on YouTube. And even worse, they have a tab that says “podcast” but it’s still not.
Not in the way I think of a podcast: an audiofile which I can download to listen to without having to watch it. Like… in the car. Out walking.
TV: In a few days there will be new seasons of “Nobody Wants This” and “The Diplomat” I’ve spent the last few days rewatching both shows to be up-to-date. The Trailer for “The Diplomat” looks like it’s going to be a great season.
Scottish Memory: Ever since I discovered Sheila Fleet Jewellery in the shop at Urquart Castle many many years ago, I loved some of her themed jewellery and have bought a few rings and pendants over the years. One silver ring I sadly had misplaced / lost in a public restroom at some point and never got back. The line of the design was discontinued so I couldn’t even order it again. I had bought a new pendant in the store in St. Andrews and was looking for a silver ring similar to the one I lost in Edinburgh. The one I chose – called “Stacking Waves” – didn’t actually go up to the size I wanted it in, but as this jewellery is handmade in Orkney, the lovely sales lady assured me, it shouldn’t be a problem to have one ring made one size bigger. It was delivered today and made me very happy.
