Weeknotes 2025-W11

Monday

On the Monday, I went to the British Academy for a talk on ~it~Medieval Lived Religion: The Complex Lives of Medieval Ritual Objects~~it~. Essentially, it was about objects used in religious contexts, and what can be said about them. It was quite long, yet somehow didn't go into the level of detail I wished. Still, it was pleasant. There was a reception with some various items found by the PAS (Portable Antiquities Scheme) which was advertised in the talk also.

Once I got home, I re-did the index page for my website too.

Tuesday

I sent off module six of my RHS, and went back home for some free dinner. Apart from that, not too much done.

Wednesday

I did a fair bit of work for the 1k project (where I am working on building a collection of 1,000 songs that I can synchronise across devices and have to be able to listen to).

Thursday

I read a bit, and watched the first episode of Cub(novel_series)">Super Cub the anime. I've already read the first book, and decently enjoyed it. Essentially this is because I've decided I want to take Japanese back up.

Friday

Read a bit (Altered Traits) and watch about 48 minutes of a girl exploring the trains of Japan (here). Again this was sort of just for Japanese practise - I can understand a good deal, but mainly struggle when the older men talk very quickly.

I got told what my pay rise for work was, which was... disappointing, frankly. Hey ho.

Saturday

I went to the cafe to read (Altered Traits) and study (IF2). I also watched a video from Philosophy Tube (Was Nietzsche MAGA? and decided to try learn Out on the Ocean on the mandolin.

Sunday

I got up very late, then went to the allotment, we tidied up quite a lot there, and I finished Altered Traits in the afternoon. I went back home to have roast in the evening.
