Timing.

The Airbnb I wanted wasn't available for the first night. so I need to stay in Kalamata - which means I get to go to the Saturday market.

I now discover that the Sunday after that is a super important feast day in the Orthodox calendar, so I'll go to the local church.

you can 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 change a dog's name once, early on when they still have time to adapt. on the other hand, you can change a cat's name literally every day and it won't make any difference whatsoever.

As part of the red-carpet treatment, Saudi officials arranged for a fully operational mobile McDonald’s unit to accompany President Trump during his stay.

According to local reports, the unit was set up near the Saudi Royal Court.

I'm enjoying this far more than I should.

Basically, I'm objecting to #duolingo moving to #AI for lesson creation. I don't need to learn from #aislop.

My little Papal Conclave is taking a break for lunch.

I think that the pair on the right is plotting.

Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.

Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. -

I'll tell you what really fucking sucks.

Your only child moving out across the country, on her birthday. She resigned her London job last month, and then applied for & got a Bristol job (and an immediate promotion?!) and a house with her boyfriend within weeks.

Impressed, delighted, distraught.

As a pretty firm atheist, and someone who *really* dislikes a lot of Catholicism, even I am sad to hear of Pope Francis's death.

I believe that overall he was a force for good in humanity. He'll be missed.

A good day - my daughter has a job interview next week so my wife & I took her shopping for suitable clothes.

Very proud of her, but also sad that this would be her moving away. Overall very positive.
