Ode to my ‘flying glasses’: O most precious spectacles, thou art fled!Mine eyes, now prisoners to mist obscure,Do mourn thy absence like the waning moon,Deprived of night’s celestial glow impure. What cruel fate hath snatched thee from my grasp,And left my world to blur, a smudg’d dream?Doth thou repose upon some velvet couch,Or linger, hidden,…
It’s spring season: the weather is now variously hot, cool, wet, dry and windy in varying combinations. But we are moving into a wetter season that lasts until about Junily. Just carry a sweater and brolly (good for sun) and some rainproof shoes. Google’s weather is accurate for … yesterday. Check out Windy.com Thanks Timo Volz…
The desk guy on the 1F was a bit of an idiot: “Are you sure you need the big trolley?” “It’s for big things”. Well, I moved a ton of books quickly & easily as well as a bookshelf. Then I moved a ton of stuff to the recycle. (You’ll see the difference on Monday…

I haven’t been keeping my records up to date on here. Sorry. I’m exercising most days to help keep my stress under control, and provide a bit of the feeling that I actually have some control over my life. That’s pretty important, wouldn’t you say? Weight is hovering around 85kgs today but yesterday I had a…
Well, today’s weight clocked in for the third day: 85.0kgs. So that means I’ve essentially lost a little weight since last week. I’ve eased up on the eating, increased the exercise, too. But it’s still hard to give up the chocolate. Yesterday’s pilates class was quite interesting: if very slow. I felt that I was…
Hana Boo Boo, one of the five drag queens who performed around the station on Friday, told CNA that drag queens give a voice to sexual minorities.
