I feel a bit unwell so had a lie down this afternoon. I got out of bed in a place I lived in 20 years ago, felt hungry, decided to go out (took my son for some reason) and walked down a cold, wet, and dark Southampton street, through subways and past an office where I used to work. I remembered the bottom floor had vending machines and wasn't in a secure area, so I walked in and got talking to my old boss.

@yngmar I found a picture of my dad's boat from 1986, it's a Vancouver 274. I remembered it having a roller-furled foresail but I was obviously wrong...

I have run out of PG Tips, there is a danger of some blood making it into my tea stream.

I must not try cardio in the afternoon slump. Why do I never, ever learn. I just feel like a miserable sack of shit until about the last five minutes.

Safari, which I generally enjoy using, runs like total dogshit in this release. Nice one, .

Because everything just works on Apple the update to Ventura broke Spotlight. I'm increasingly of the opinion Apple do barely any QA of their releases, because you'd find this in about 10s.

Steffen's excellent riff on Lars' playing, the tendency to fill his way out of tricky timing, great reluctance to play a simple backbeat...it's all here lmao
