Tortoise packed away for his 47th hibernation with us. Hopefully we will see him again in the spring. Always seems a little bit of a marker of the change in seasons

I think tonight was the moment I officially realised I am very old. I was trying to explain the KLF to someone aged 40 and they’d never heard of them. I then looked on Wikipedia and they split in 1992, making a 40 year old just 6 at the time. Anyway youtu.be/pC_zffOenk8?...

I don’t think I’m the only person who will appreciate this
Triangular diagram labelled The Introvert
Hierarchy of Needs. 

Top: Self-actualisation - A completely empty house. An arrow pointing to the house says “Nobody needs anything. Nobody is coming home for hours. Phone on silent.” 

The next level is Esteem - Plans getting cancelled. An arrow here says “‘Sorry, we're going to have to rearrange.’ Oh no. That's terrible. I'm devastated.” 

Next level: Belonging - One person you actually like. No group chat. No networking. No "let's go round and introduce ourselves." Just one person you can talk absolute shit with. 

Fourth level: Safety - An escape route. Own car. End seat. Knowing exactly when the event finishes. A believable reason to leave early.

Bottom of pyramid: Physiological needs - Being left the fuck alone for a bit. Food. Water. Sleep. 45 minutes where nobody speaks to you.

Not sure what made me think of this, but remembering the day I had to travel to Leeds (from SE London) to do a 10 minute presentation in person. Wasn’t permitted to attend anything else of the day long event, so arrived 5 minutes early and left straight afterwards. What a great experience that was!

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

A few years ago I went to a pig sanctuary and most of the pigs were stoned from eating green acorns. This one, Wilbur, couldn’t stand up and was too big to lift, so the staff had to leave him in this bush and wait for him to sober up.
