- I picked up my two new pairs of reading glasses from Boots. I now have glasses by my bed and on my desk. I can manage fine without them, but reading and laptopping is noticeably clearer. I just need to remember to put them on (writing this note has in fact reminded me to do so…)
- My old pod coffee machine spluttered and wheezed out its last, ejecting raw granules into my mug. New coffee machine time! I upgraded to a DeLonghi Magnifica S which was on sale. I’m still adjusting its settings, but it already makes much better coffee.
- I was in the office twice this week. My boss was in Cambridge for a flying visit so I had some time in the same continent as him for a change.
- I’m exhausted and exhilarated by Arsenal’s Premier League title challenge. From despair at seemingly dropping points at home to Everton in the 88th minute, to relief at two late goals blasting us into a (temporary) 10-point lead. It’s been 22 long years and I realised I just want it so badly!
- Bother. I forgot to do Wordle on Saturday, thus ending my 114-day streak. It’s almost enough to stop me playing it every day, faced now with a one-day streak. I told C and he was a bit tearful for me.
- Mother’s Day for L was some thoughtful presents that
the boysI bought, a long walk in Pansanger Park, taking C to cricket while she watched telly trash, and me cooking a roast dinner for us all over four hours. I slept well.
