I have realised that I can send a special treat to myself in the future by placing a deferred hold on a book from the library for several months so that I completely forget about it until I get an email saying it's ready to be collected.

I'm going to be completely offline and uncontactable for the rest of the month from tomorrow, so if anyone needs me for anything before then.. well ideally sit on it for a couple of weeks please.

I think I've found the absolute optimum cafe. There's wifi (with a memorable password), power, lots of space, many different kinds of seats, really delicious coffee, incredible vegan cakes and sandwiches and I can sit behind a very large potted tree with my laptop feeling slightly hidden from the rest of the world. And it opens early. The only drawback is that it's in Luxembourg.

Braw mornings and good rain at night. A few cloudy days.
L came to visit, and we tried the new 'wellness cafe', Rumours, which has finally opened. Excited to be back there!
Helped K move half a ton of slate.

I'm having an alarmingly good day for one spent mostly at a computer.. I'm making good progress with actual work work (billable software development as opposed to ops/co-op wrangling support which is still work but not work work), got myself out of a dependency hell in less than 20 minutes, learnt some new stuff, remembered how to write Python again and actually did so, and it worked, like immediately...
Then I took a break and went to investigate some homemade pickles that looked like they had gone mouldy in the (sealed) jar to discover that it was just kahm yeast around the edge and they are perfectly fine! I've been so sad thinking for weeks I was gonna have to throw out the whole jar.
You might observe it doesn't take much for me to be having a good day, my bar is pretty low.

I'm up to 50,151 words and there's a whole 20 minutes of the day left. I still haven't written the fucking ending, but I've sure as hell built up to it...

I don't think I'm getting to 50k (I might if I say up all night, I'm not far off! Tempting, but I have tons of stuff to do for work tomorrow and I'm already knackered) but if I can write the actual final scene I'll be very pleased with myself.
I never manage to write the endings even when I know how they go. This one is made up of three distinct stories so I've already written two 'endings' this month which is frankly the achievement of a lifetime.

Ending my 6k today challenge with 3,585 words, a loaf of homemade bread, an excessively elaborate cake, enough curry for the week, a bit of housework, two paintings of kirkcaldy from the second hand shop, a nice lunch out, and picked up a library book.
Passed last year's final total, so pretty happy with that.
