I'm organising a vegan food festival in a small town and it's either going to be amazingly good or a heartbreaking failure. I'm currently very excited so the come down is gonna be hard when nobody comes :')
(The bar for 'success' is pretty low though as there is absolutely nothing like this going on here normally, so will be happy to eat a doughnut (doughnut baker is confirmed) and meet some new people really.)
Worked a lot. An incredible sense of relief as I finally passed milestones for both projects I'm working on, BODS and Open Fibre. Also lots of prep for our new starts next week.
The usual views. Some days of very still sea, dramatic skies; swam twice.
An afternoon in KDY; lunch at Koku Shi and cake at Merchant's House... who have a new vegan menu! To pick up the customers left behind by Kangus, I presume...
Finally enjoyed a weekend with NO PLANS. Used it to make a website for The Kitchen Treasury (pending approval).
Headphone shopping, as the Sennheiser MM450-X I've had since 2019 are finally giving up (one ear has stopped emitting sound, and the bluetooth and noise cancelling won't even switch on). This is the third pair of essentially the same headphones I've been buying since 2009 because they're compact for travel and really comfy to wear for hours. I have very small ears, so they're perfect for me. Only now I only seem to be able to get the 550-X model, which would be fine, but it's from circa 2015 and still £140+ secondhand for some reason; 3x what I've paid previously. I'm tempted to just pay it because I know what I like, but on the other hand maybe I should investigate other headphone brands..? Hmm.
Finished The Difference Engine (found it a bit challenging to stick with; probably would have enjoyed it more if I knew more about the time period it's set in). Started The Algebraist.
Some very braw and very dreich days. The sea was very still compared to recently which was nice, and once I went out to swim in the mist. It was all very muted and gentle.
