    Legs are feeling it today from going up and down ladders all w/e. Ladders hit different to stairs. I thought they’d be alright but thankfully it brings us to a rave choon, silly Legs

    Also just got some hail inner east which I haven’t seen in a while.

    I thought I wasn’t seeing things last night

    This is the Dutch team’s swimwear.

        I think the cameraman had a oop no moment because it was only a brief glimpse of this swimmer getting out of the water.

        I saw the back of him first and he looked nude and then I got a glimpse of the front and for a split second I thought he had a mask on.

    While I’m waiting for the stain on the first chair to cure some more, work on the second chair has commenced. I have pulled out 40 tacks so far, another 200 to go 😵🪛

    It seems Judo is the sport to watch if you want to see blood, people being choked out, or elbows being bent the wrong way.

    Bugger. Smashed one of my favourite mugs when it slipped off the edge of the bedside table 😭.
    Fortunately Amazon has it - with a bonus spoon at that - so I can replace it.

      We’ve been using their paper towel, and I’m a fan. It has half sheet perforations and it doesn’t fall apart but it doesn’t cost a bomb either.

    If you’re not watching the olympics worth chucking on in the background. Not a MASSIVE sports guy but it’s interesting as fuck! Also we’re beating America in the medal tally, and we didn’t even get our own boat for the opening ceremony!

      Olympics always start with the water events - which is where we punch well above our weight. So we do really well on the medal tally for the first week, and then we sorta plateau a bit.

      I can’t have it on in the background. I have bathrooms to clean and I’ll be too distracted and unproductive if the Olympics is on.

      I missed us on the boat. I watched the opening ceremony and my feed started with Cyprus. It was most bizarre. I’ll have to seek out that bit specifically.

    Today is day 300 of learning Spanish! Bloody hell. I lost motivation really hard around day 150 so a lot of days I’ve just been redoing lessons from previous stages which are super easy. There are still periods of a few days where I am super motivated and try to push through and keep advancing, but they’re not the majority.

    I’ve been trying to think about how I’d say certain things in Spanish, or imagining being In Spain or south America and needing to speak Spanish. Most of the ways to express myself are probably improper, but Spanish seems to be considerably less complicated than English in its grammar rules. I love that for a lot (maybe most?) questions, you just make a statement, but then raise your tone slightly at the end and then it’s a question.

    I’ve also been watching a lot of South/Latin American travel content, and although I don’t understand very much (and it seems most people there talk at about 500 words per minute), there’s a few times when I hear a word and I’m all “OH MY GOD I KNOW WHAT HE SAID! I KNOW WHAT HE SAID!!!”

    I’m currently in section 2 - unit 5. There are 26 units in section 2, and 8 sections in total. Although I think the later sections are longer (section 1 is 8 units, section 2 is 26, presumably the rest are the same length or longer)

    I know that I want to keep my streak until the 365 day mark, but I’m not sure if I will once I cross that, or if I’ll let it expire

    I bought a temperature sensor for my room because I was curious about how cold it actually gets, and how fast it loses heat, and it’s actually not as bad as I thought it was. Doesn’t seem to go below about 12 or so, although I think that’s mostly down to body heat, the electric blanket, and my computer all slightly warming the room. But then again, my bathroom remains quite stable at around 15 regardless, so maybe there is an itty bit of insulation somewhere

    If anybody’s wondering why I don’t run the ducted heating constantly, it’s because of this:

    The temperature sensor is in the hallway, which doesn’t have a heating vent, so once you turn it on, it will pretty much run until summer, turning my room particularly for some reason into a mini marble bar (localised entirely within my bedroom! No you may not see it.), and they absolutely refuse to install either a temperature sensor into a bedroom, or a heating vent into the hallway.

    Bonus: the temperature sensor in the bathroom (no heating vent + a giant skylight):

    Tonight feels really fucking nippy though, even with the heater on, the electric blanket on full boar, and a temperature reading of 20°. It feels like -1 outside, according to the BOM boys, so I guess that’s justified
