Done Since 2024-07-07

It's been a surprisingly good, unsuprisingly short, and occasionally scary week; the second and last in my trip with N in The Netherlands. Quite a lot of back-and-forthing between Den Haag and Leiden. Yesterday I spent all afternoon helping j put flat-pack furniture together; we got a couple of pieces mostly finished, thwarted by the lack of a hammer for nailing on backs. (Cue obvious song.)

I marked the third anniversary of Colleen's death on Friday with a post and a cup of green tea. Also I miss my cats.

I've decided not to bother logging walking statistics for this trip, except to note that I went over 3,000 steps on five days in the last week, and actually got over 20 "heart points" on Wednesday. I might need to see whether $G Fit can export data in any useful format. Or switch apps. Or buy a ring or a watch?

Links this week include Daniel Simu And His Dancing Robot SURPRISE The Judges With Acrobotics! (with a tip of the hat to ysabetwordsmith), and Oxford University Mathematician REACTS to "Animation vs. Math" (the entire "Animation vs. {Math, Physics, Geometry} series is well worth watching, along with the corresponding reactions -- you can find them all by chasing links).
