My weeknotes for the week 2025-03-10 to 2025-03-16.

Monday

On the Monday, I went to the British Academy for a talk on Medieval Lived Religion: The Complex Lives of Medieval Ritual Objects. Essentially, it was about objects used in religious contexts, and what can be said about them. It was quite long, yet somehow didn't go into the level of detail I wished. Still, it was pleasant. There was a reception with some various items found by the PAS (Portable Antiquities Scheme) which was advertised in the talk also.

Once I got home, I re-did the index page for my website too.

Tuesday

I sent off module six of my RHS, and went back home for some free dinner. Apart from that, not too much done.

Wednesday

I did a fair bit of work for the 1k project (where I am working on building a collection of 1,000 songs that I can synchronise across devices and have to be able to listen to).

Thursday

I read a bit, and watched the first episode of Super Cub the anime. I've already read the first book, and decently enjoyed it. Essentially this is because I've decided I want to take Japanese back up.

Friday

Read a bit (Altered Traits) and watch about 48 minutes of a girl exploring the trains of Japan (here). Again this was sort of just for Japanese practise - I can understand a good deal, but mainly struggle when the older men talk very quickly.

I got told what my pay rise for work was, which was... disappointing, frankly. Hey ho.

Saturday

I went to the cafe to read (Altered Traits) and study (IF2). I also watched a video from Philosophy Tube (Was Nietzsche MAGA? and decided to try learn Out on the Ocean on the mandolin.

Sunday

I got up very late, then went to the allotment, we tidied up quite a lot there, and I finished Altered Traits in the afternoon. I went back home to have roast in the evening.
