Coffee machine isn’t working. Worst day ever.
So. My Chinese credit card will work to buy books from Amazon but not digital products like a Nintendo eShop code.
This job is hard enough. You are flawed enough. You have screwed up and will screw up enough. We don’t have room or time or the luxury for guilt. We have to focus on right now.

What case do you use for your iPad? Would you recommend it?
In other news. Our summer holidays this year are the longest ever.
But we’re going to be unable to leave China.
Great.
Really enjoying Knotwords. A new word game with a free daily puzzle.
Looks like it should be far simpler than it actually turns out to be.
Left my copy of Four Thousand Weeks somewhere when out for dinner. Apparently I bought it in November. I’m taking it as a sign from the universe.

I feel this. I am conciously making an effort to get up and just walk around instead of always being still, at my desk.
At first try I think I much prefer the timeline without replies that you can now do in @Gluon!
We get so wrapped up in numbers in our society. The most important thing is that we are able to be one-to-one, you and I with each other at the moment. If we can be present to the moment with the person that we happen to be with, that’s what’s important. Fred Rogers
We were in the taxi on the way to school. Elise said something to me in annoyance, love (maybe) but not anger.
Her single word made me nameless. Could be anyone.
Isn’t.

But she it only says it to me.
No. One. Else.
