Week 32
-
How disappointing it is when people whoād always seemed sensible suddenly display in interest in rugby union. Ugh.

I accidentally broke a lightbulb with my bare hands.
-
It was a compact fluorescent (āenergy savingā) sort of one, which Iāve just been reminded contains toxic mercury. So⦠I hope I donāt turn into some tinned fish.

The new bulb makes a very slight noise. Hmm.

s on bustimes.org around the two hours between 1am and 2am, to the silent fury of countless night bus passengers.

I bicycled in the rain, which was fine ā Iāve never felt more alive ā but some water ingressed through the cracked screen of my waterproof mobile telephone, into the camera, so now I canāt unlock it with my face. If only we were still in the olden times, with fingerprint recognition ā although itās glove season now, which was always a hassle back then. Of course, itās also jacket season, and sometimes a jacket with a certain collar would make my face unrecognisable. Anyway, itās chilling how bad Iāve become at entering my passcode.
