Time for an update
Monday, 14 April 2025 23:35oomigosh sorry. Life has been just so so so so busy. I guess it's a good thing? Work has been pleasantly busy with ad hoc stupid things happening (the IT email system would refuse to "release" certain emails sent to me... it's just OTPs which I NEED for work related things)
I've been trying to read more and the other day, just for fun, I bought a small 6" ereader from Taobao. It was like... more or less USD $40 for it. The OS is a little funky, it would take some time to get used to it, but, once books are set in there, then it's great. I guess my eyesight is still good, I still think the text is a bit too big even on the small screen. I think if they can go just one point smaller then it would be perfect. I think I'm going to use the tiny ereader for when I go on holiday. It weighs next to nothing (yeah, it's small) and is very convenient to just throw it back into the bag. But then maybe I'll think it looks more like a phone and then prefer to bring the larger devices again. Dunno. We'll see?
I have been diligent! i have been running consistently lately. Yesterday I even went to a running shoe trial event for a new PUMA model. I will admit it IS indeed pretty comfortable and the rebound made running very eash for the knees, but I didn't buy them. My pair of Nikes are still relatively new so, once I rack up the 500km on them then I will think about getting new shoes. At least now, I know not to limit my search to just Nike.
Here's a few kitty and doggy photos LOL. I'm just trying to play on my Switch, my friends. I got back to Final Fantasy X and I guess I've been a little spoiled by the newer games where we can rotate the view? I kept trying to rotate the view there LOL but view rotate wasn't a thing yet on that Final Fantasy installment. I'm still not where I had stopped in my previous playthrough on the PS2 (never finished because the disc later skidded and would stop at one specific point) and I've already forgotten how unbelievably sad the storyline is. I went ahead and read some spoilers and ooooh it just hits the heart even more.
I've been feeding these kitties that live at the place where I park my car. The black and white one (Tuxedo cat?) is pretty friendly with me now, he would come up to me and rub my legs as I'm preparing his dinner. I can also touch him now but only for a bit, touch him a bit longer and he eyes me with contempt and walks away. The other tiger stripe-y brown-grey is still super wary of me. Can't see if it's a he or she, it would come up to near me for the food but would run away as soon as I look at it. There's actually a third black and white cat that is TOTALLY afraid of me, I've only seen that one twice. But I do have a third bowl ready for whenever that one shows up.
And ooooh. I took some time off from my usual ceramic doggies and kitties planters, so that I could use the wheel and throw some items, then learn this, Portuguese Faience.
The flowers and the lemons were the actual thing being taught. You can see I very soon ditched that and started to do my own thing LOL!
