tl;dr if you get the virus going around and it’s not shifting within a day or two, get to a doctor. I literally waited until I was vomiting blood which I do not recommend.

Eating after illness fucks with your perceptions of what is an appropriate amount SO MUCH. I just paused & thought “oh wow I’ve been eating non-stop, I should slow down to not overdo it” and it was 2 apples sliced up and 2 boiled baby potatoes. 😐

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:
Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right) 
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy? 
What the hammer that hath hewn it 
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee, 
Or an external franchisee?

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Stumbled upon this in my photos and it seems so incredibly fitting for these times we find ourselves in.

SIL is safely delivered, nephew is perfect, v grumpy and with an impressive head of hair. Gave us all quite the scare (made worse by my internet choosing this time to disconnect me while I sat here and panicked) but both mother and baby are doing fine.

Honestly, this should have been predictable but I am hard-wired to go all-out in academic testing. Not such a great reflex in real-life situations where you’re actually trying to learn a new skill.

I accidentally over-achieved in a language exam yesterday and today, the chickens have come home to roost: forcibly promoted to a much, MUCH harder class. I have appealed for clemency. (& more grammar practice.)

I am awaiting the delivery of new bookcases on Friday. I will then spend the weekend reorganising my books. Jealous? Don’t be! You, too, can reorganise your books this weekend. Think of it! Books! In a new order! It’s almost like actually reading them…

Enjoying a long-overdue week off with family, lazing around Lake Como. The scenery is spectacular, and food is amazing, and the weather is - thankfully - replete enough with mountain breezes to make sleeping possible.

What a perfectly normal and not at all horrifying thing to write from the perspective a 12 year old girl who is expecting to be killed by the bad guy and who just met ‘Harry’ an hour ago.

Anyway, thankfully everyone is now reading horror, which is making everything better. I was having SUCH a bad time with everything I read turning out the opposite of what I wanted, that I have instead opted for books where everyone dies. That way, if I get pissed off at a character - problem solved!

I haven’t been around because work has been insane. Also we had flooding. It was fine, my only casualties were two book orders which turned up resembling mulch. But still. It’s 27C and there is torrential rain plus flooding. It’s like living in a sauna

I really, really don’t want to be travelling this weekend. More or less hyperventilating about it. Like that “I don’t want to go to work” feeling but pretty much looking at the whole country I guess.

I love this wonderfully understated turn of phrase. From Stephen Rutt’s Wintering -
Extract from Stephen Rutt’s book Wintering: “In the art of Ancient Egypt we can see wildfowling scenes, painted with exceptional clarity. They show hunters throwing sticks, setting clap nets and using (presumably trained) cats.*” 

* How one trains a cat to catch a goose and bring it back is unknown to me.

I need to write a cheque for something, and I have discovered that I can’t find my chequebook. Assuming that I have a chequebook. How the hell does one get one (1) solitary cheque written out these days? Without waiting two weeks to get a whole bloody chequebook, that is…

This is a phenomenal piece of art hammering home what Assad has done in Syria. But I haven’t been able to track down a credit. Anyone?

I was somehow expecting an albino giraffe. This is more of a streamlined giraffe. A giraffe sans embellishment, if you will. (Also, apparently there are large blood vessels around each patch so I hope the sport-giraffe is healthy even without patches!)
