I'm getting later and later with writing these weeknotes...

Monday Because I slept all afternoon on the Sunday, I couldn't sleep at night.

I don't really know if I have one, and I haven't held many jobs.

I've now been using dating apps for some month and a half.

I'm not too sure yet, because I think I am still too young.

I find it easy to just write flow-of-consciousness like this.

A lot of my hobbies are fairly solitary and don't require doing too much, so I haven't really had many.

I tolerate it.

I doubt it.

Not really.

My first computer was a typical Windows 8 Machine (later W10) that was fairly easy to use.

I don't actually read much in the way of blogs, but when I do, some of my favourites in my RSS feed are: idiomdrottning - for insightful political comments, and GTD, and much else Protesilaos Stavrou - for poems, philosophy, and all sorts else.

I think road trip is a bit of an American term, and we don't really do road trips in the UK, we do holidays.

No.

I live in the UK.

The only one I can remember (I don't, and didn't, read the news much) was Brexit.

I'm writing these up really late (the Friday after), but I am at least doing them!

Mainly, I read books.

I think I quite admire my grandmother.

I think probably my favourite restaurant is an Indian about half an hour from me.

I don't tend to watch movies much at all.

My typical day is quite inconsistent; I tend to do different things each day.

...

I don't tend to go to a whole lot of concerts; recently I have started going to performances of classical music that are all incredible.

Wow, the weeks are passing by incredibly quickly.

I don't have a proper workspace.

I am sort of picking off the easy ones at the moment.

I am only 23 (soon to be 24!)

The major one that comes to mind is conlanging.

Actually, I have been meaning for a good while to put a page on the website which tells of my favourite books, so this is actually a really good opportunity!

Oh dear Lord these weeks are passing by so quickly.

I don't drink a great deal of alcohol nowadays.

Currently, I find that technology is both a slight blessing and a major curse.

I don't, but I'm going to now I've answered this...

I've been thinking about love.

I haven't written much on the blog recently.

This is the ten pointless facts challenge, courtesy of David over at Forking Mad.

So much of urban planning concerns itself seemingly with practical concerns, like that of traffic management.

...

(This really shouldn't be a blog post, but I don't have a "short comments" section on the blog yet... or ever?)

...

This week, I was at the Bhaktivedanta Manor or the Hare Krishna temple in Watford.

There are a lot of things that I want to do as a matter of routine, but I never seem to be able to get around do doing them as a matter of routine.

(I'm writing these weeknotes a good week late, and so I can't really remember what I did... it'll be a running theme) Monday 31th March I have no idea what I did.

I've come back from the temple today.

With actions and tasks, it is possible to do them in a side-effecty way, and, a pure way.

Monday 24th I wrote my weeknotes for the previous week (I'm tending to write them a bit late recently), did some tidying up of the house, and, after finding out about Arch Enemy the band (looking for a gig of Eluveitie - they are performing together in No…

I decided today that I would like to try and see some gigs later in the year, and decided I would watch the Arch Enemy and Eluveitie show at the Hammersmith Apollo.

I am at the fantastic age of 23, and have, last week, got told what my raise will be.

Monday On the Monday, I went to the British Academy for a talk on Medieval Lived Religion: The Complex Lives of Medieval Ritual Objects.
