My weeknotes from 2025-05-05 to 2025-05-11.
Oh dear Lord these weeks are passing by so quickly.
May Bank holiday. I felt miserable for most of the day. Since I pulled a muscle on the Sunday, I slept in of the morning to let the muscle heal a bit, then went into town, studied my IF2 a bit, and read a good amount of Death and Life of Great American Cities.
I spent the afternoon clearing files from my computer, and sorting out my new password manager (it's still Keepass, but I'm trying to move all the various passwords from elsewhere all into one file).
I got a match on Hinge and started to message her, but she only gave me one word answers. She wasn't exactly my type anyways so I gave up fairly quickly.
In the eve, we went to the allotment and I put some beans and calendulas in.
My boss found out I am on Hinge and is really getting into it. Telling me I should change up all the photos, add some fresher prompts, etc. Basically trying to be my wingman. It's hilarious.
I ate a massive dinner: two greek style yoghurts (one soya (delicious) and one oat (pugnacious)) , two potatoes mashed, four sausages and some of my mother's bolognese. I spent the evening trying to implement a strcmpmany function in C++ using variadics. Got there in the end, and it's actually quite elegant.
I saw someone from the temple and we went to Eye Falafel for lunch. He was a convert, it seems! He suggested we go visit Sky Garden somewhen.
Owing to my donning of a too tight sock the day before, resulting in my foot's sweating like a fat man in heat and swelling to double its size, I was beset with agony which I do not think it excessive to compare to the pangs of childbirth, albeit situated in my leftmost toe only. Besides that, I also did a 'pointless' blog challenge, and started 50 in 50.
I had a cider at half four, which induced in me a slumber until some quarter past seven, making me late to see my friend. We then played Borderlands 3 (the multiplayer does seem to work, but is highly fickle for some reason).
I did various jobs in the garden, played a bit of mando, and we went to water the allotment too.
Again, various jobs in the garden, and in the evening we went to see Madama Butterfly. The acoustics are not so great as at the opera house, but nonetheless it was a lovely performance.
