Today my brain is in conflict. Between "Bamboo Banga" and "Paper Planes", both by M.I.A.
Not a mash-up - each is taking turns. (Although the latter feels more likely to win.)

Well, I failed to follow my own advice. (See: odemap.substack.com/p/be-prepare...).
I was listening to a song and was inspired by the lyrics. I didn’t note it down and I lost it. I spend ages reviewing song lyrics and I found it.
“Solace”
That’s it - 1 word.

My reMarkable Pro has been struggling in the heat today (understandably).
I wondered why it was behaving a bit erratic. Then saw the 'high temperature' warning.
I am also struggling in the heat. Time to do something else.

Maybe I just don’t like change. There’s a new ‘explore’ mode that it defaults to and the check-in has been relegated to an overlayed ‘+’ button. The check-in page is just a bit too ill-defined for my liking.

I am annoyed with myself. Whenever someone corrects me or provides me with new information, I can't help myself but say "Memory updated".

It’s not foolproof (nothing is), but it can make a difference when you really need to concentrate.
