@rtfm It you

🧳 A day of packing, tidying, travelling, and general readiness for the next week

Today is an excellent day to listen to…

…Los Bitchos!

All-female Greek-tinged instrumental surf rockers. Very fun.

No spoilers, but these past few episodes of ‘Star City’ have been phenomenal. Cannot wait for next week’s finale.

🌅 Out of office is ON. Notifications are PAUSED. Aww yiss.

(I apologise if including the album name in that toot causes your Mastodon client of choice to also get upset)

I like that if you buy Four Tet's latest album from Bandcamp (https://00000ooooo.bandcamp.com/album/--5), the ASCII-titled “ʅ͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡(̸̢̛̼̞̭͋ͅ)̸͚̰͛̔̾̀̿͒͂:̴͓̞̑̌̂̆̊͋̀:̸͎̟̯̂̓̌　҉　　　　　͡　͞　͞　͞　҉● ࿀ ●  ࿀  ●　　　҉⃝ 　　　⃝͢ ͞　　　͘　͞⃝̕ ͢　　　　̛　⃝ 　　　̸　̡　　͢⃝̧ 　͡　͡　　̀　̧　̢⃝͜ 　 　҉　　͞　͞　⃝͞ 　͞　͡⃝  ⃝҉҈҉҈҉҈҉҈҉҈҉ :̶̢͙͙͕̠̩͆(̷̮͍͚̫͚͂̍)̵̳̗̊(　̟̞̝̜̙̘̗̖҉̵̴̨̧̢̡̼̻̺̹̳̲̱̰̯̮̭̬̫̪̩̦̥
b”, all the weird characters in the artist/title/album name completely freak out Apple Music and it refuses to sync.

Me: “Hello, yes, I think I'm too stupid to understand the heating system in my property could you send someone round to explain it please?”

Engineer, taking one look: “Mate this hasn't been installed properly all the temporary installation clips are still there it isn't even bolted to the wall and this thermostat isn't working”

I guess this must be why my electricity bill is 400% the estimate for a house of this size, age, and occupancy.

Good to find a store that caters to that much maligned third gender.

Some highlights:
⁃ A brilliant album about Britpop which isn't really an album of Britpop music
⁃ A guilty confession about buying loads of cheap omg.lol time before the price increase
⁃ Why isn't anyone talking about 'Star City’?
⁃ I did no exercise and didn't feel great about that fact

😎 Extremely grateful for the current Goldilocks weather - not too hot, not too cold, just right.

Each broom agent can spawn additional, autonomous broom agents, each with their own pails. This allows apprentices to accelerate monotonous water-fetching tasks and save their time and energy for more interesting and useful work

This is one steep bill! But it’s worth it.

🪭 It's so hot that the fans in my Macbook are running... for the first time in four years.
