Weeknote 789: Yorkshire

This week I have learned:

• you can undoubtedly get to know more about people when you are in their physical presence.
• that my newfound (hand) writing practices are useful, but I mustn’t get too caught up in the idea that they are task-based.
• being able to take the seed of an idea and quickly turn it into something relatively concrete is a source of great joy to me.
• putting things into a picture frame turns them into art. I wonder how this might be applied metaphorically as well as physically?
• it’s always the hope that gets you.
• I have a very strange recurring dream in which I munch away through plastic items. I have no idea what it means.

The week in media:

Saw

• the football. I’ve learned to disassociate by falling back on “being Irish”.
• Ride or Die on Prime. Hannah Waddingham, Octavia Spencer, Bill Nighy, Bill Bailey and many more in a very silly but great fun series. Got me thinking about who is the person I know most likely to be a secret trained assassin. Obviously the answer is the person who is least likely…

Read

• Continuing Margaret Heffernan’s Embracing Uncertainty.

Listened

• too much news.

Next week:

• Wrapping up for the hols.
