Death Cab and The Postal Service last night.

London 23/08/2024

Going to be in the UK over the next few days due to some family business (and seeing Death Cab for Cutie in Cardiff). I doubt I can meet any one from MB but just in case, I’ll be in London on Friday, Oxford Saturday morning, Cardiff in the Afternoon, Sunday (not sure) and free Tues till Thurs.

I’ve tried to read this many times but got stuck near the start for some reason. I’ve made more progress this time and I like it a lot. I see why people like Willard. I will say he is more scholarly than his intro lets on! Currently reading: The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard 📚

Small fitness habit I’m trying: putting my feet on a tennis ball when sat at my desk.

Yes, it is a Wilson’s tennis ball.

Will report back if I notice any difference.

Today I learned that some Americans pronounce nadir /ˈneɪ.dɚ/ not /ˈneɪ.dɪə/.

Very mixed feelings and not what I expected. I didn’t like the style of writing nor how self centred it was, plus some of the insights feel very cliche especially for millennials post 2008. At the same time, there were some great prompts and really interesting sources cited. My personal opinion is read the books in the bibliography instead.

Finished reading: The Pathless Path by Paul Millerd 📚

Thanks to my son pronouncing /p/ as /b/ I found out the Polish word for doughnut sounds like fart.

You’ve got to be joshing me —🔗 Jesus wasn’t called Jesus. 😉

For the last few days I’ve been inadvertently working on a floor desk. I’m working at my in-laws small holding and although they have a table, it’s in the kitchen so I can’t work there. So instead, I’ve propped my laptop on a suitcase and typed away. It’s surprisingly comfortable but I do need to switch every now and then.
