One was a dentist, the other a tire salesman.

Earliest meeting got canceled, phew.

Got local apple cider and honey as thanks for participating in the panel. Also networked a bunch, resulting in two upcoming meetings. :)

Got here on time, but now I have an ocular migraine - probably because of stress.

Thanks!

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Beautiful!

Today everyone but maybe eight people are going to Uppsala for a democracy themed day together with the library staff of Uppsala and Stockholm. I'll be in the last panel to help sum up the day with the moderator.

Good news!

Nope! But I should have a new one on Friday.

Also I have ordered part of a windscreen wiper myself, because yesterday it… fell off? On the highway. I hope nothing else unexpected happens in the near future.

Had to remind the place I bought the car that they’d promised to book a windscreen change, but now I have the email and I can see it’s ordered, no cost for me. (A crack appeared before they delivered the car.)

I love this. The Norwegian Government has a four-minute ad for "The Enshittifier," the person responsible for figuring out how to take something you enjoy and make it worse. It's part of their campaign to the EU to encourage adversarial compatibility and right to repair.

Zevran and Opal, two Burmese cats, lying on the couch next to my leg and foot. Opal, the platinum, is sprawled on her back, legs in the air. Zevran, the brown, is curved around her, one paw over her chest.

Zevran and Opal.

Opal, a platinum Burmese cat, lying back with her head in the palm of my hand, her eyes closed.

Thank you, I will! She is a very sweet cat, named Opal after a Critical Role character.

They’re European all three, but the platinum one has an American father. 🥰 All are sweet, yes!

A bowl of Massaman curry with potatoes, lentils and carrots.

I made some simplified Massaman Curry.

Three Burmese cats in a round cat bed. The two brown ones are being book ends for and looking back at the platinum one, lying the other way in between them.

Book end cats.

Went to virtual Bodycombat. Pretty ok despite my airways still being sad.

Well done! Have fun! 🎶

Opal, a platinum Burmese cat, is standing on my lap turned towards the tv on the wall showing a snowy bird feeder with what looks like cardinals. Part of Zevran (brown cat) is visible behind Opal.

Opal and Zevran have moved up to right by the tv, the better to see those alluring birds.

Watching some cat tv while I wait for an Atelier game to download.

Recycled stuff at the outside town place. Bought t-shirt, towel and cooler bag, all cheap. Got groceries. All very comfortable while driving.

I think I may go to the recycling center today.

I think I may have published a tiny ficlet on some kind of blog before that, and then I joined Livejournal.

I had a little site called Vague!Fic that I made with Dreamweaver software.

The car can charge enough overnight, even though it’s a slow charging outlet. Good to know.

Less stressful to drive today, and I’m finding how to adjust little things one by one. Today I played music from my phone on the car’s system, and found how to lower the temperature (which was way too high, like 28C).

Best jedis.

Hurray for me!

So finally!
