Waiting for the medicine to kick

I need a new library card. Can't find the old one.
But its not all bad, the cat is here.
A little personal post for a sad occasion. About how one sitcom was able to safe my life for a little while.
October 15th
NBC News publishes detailed maps of the they found on the bodies of some . They include a detailed map of Saad, marking the primary where they planned to kill the or take them . I cry for the first time.
Yesterday we sent out our rental termination notice.
Last year we bought an apartment in the same building where we are renting a place since we relocated from the UK in 2018. There was so much to do, nothing much had been done there for nearly 50 years. We had to get most of the pipes replaced and almost all of the electrical and telecommunications/network installations had to be redone to be fit for our needs. Some old walls were ripped out and new walls put in. Bathrooms and kitchen were completely stripped and redone. Internal doors were replaced. A huge cupboard/wardrobe was fitted in one of our hallways. It all took its sweet time as tradespeople and material werent always available and on top of that the prices kept rising. The neighbours probably hate(d) us, despite me trying to give them some warning every time when it got really noisy.
The place is now at the point that only a few minor improvements need finishing before we can properly move in. A number of bigger things are still missing but they are not essential right now and can be done next year with us living there.
We have three months for moving and while we had already moved a wardrobe from the cellar to our sons new bedroom some months ago, today marked the first day of more serious moving. The reason for this was that there is a pipe leakage in a service shaft in our rental which last night made itself known in our sons current bedroom. It is high time we are getting out of here before the plumbers make our life hell as it probably means that they have to rip open our one and only toilet from where the water seems to originate.
We borrowed a small trolley for moving heavy items and it was really useful already. We did several trips to move a small wardrobe, a bigger shelf unit and all of their contents. Its great to be able to do this with plenty of time as we can sort out at the same time. The best thing is that my son is all grown up this time round and is able to lug things around with us!
For quite a while it seemed like this day would never come.

I take a pic of this same tree every year in mid-October, usually on a weekend. Photographing something even only twice leaves an emotional residue on both the object and on memory. Both have been transformed.
Well, here we go! Its less than a week to the start of November, and will begin soon! Its the same story as always - 200 words every day in November in a language that is not your mother tongue. It can be anything! A post, , or an all of your own! If 200 words a day seems like a lot, then adjust it - if youre using a language that makes counting words more difficult, you could do 400 characters a day instead. Its entirely up to you!

Tell me about your Journalling experience. Physical or Digital is it a diary or something entirely different How often do you write Are there particular items you make sure every entry has
I kinda like the idea of a journalling (I even wrote a first entry last night), but the logical mind is still trying to understand it
I finally found a real-world use for : public . I will note daily every noteworthy thing to keep track of them and estimate how often they happen.
I found in without this week. I miss being able to ethically eat all the cookies I want, but it's better for my .

Newpapers used to be memorabilia.
I've started a new blog on and a series about my utterly useless journey in writing a UI ( to be accurate) SDK for my module: the pygamelib. If you're interested in the programming diary of my failures, frustrations, and hopefully success, you can read the first installment here:
Out of Tune, 8"x10" inkjet overprinting on rice paper (10/2013)
I'm just banging these out, haha! Trying to get ahead of things because I'll be doing a lot of travel in the next couple of months. This is my monthly summary layout for November.
Worked on next week's layouts a little early. More fun with color schemes!
The Operation was most orgiastic, but I formulated the God well and called aloud after his name. The Gluten of the Eagle was not very plentiful, and the Lion was not very thoroughly dissolved therein. Still, I think the Elixir was formed well enough.
Chiudiamo il capitolo riccio.
This is what my husband brought us home yesterday. Luckily its only the windscreen. There was glass in the car too but nothing thats bad enough to injure him!
From all he can gather it was a bird (possibly a pheasant) that hit the car at full impact on the middle of the busy M3. This could have gone terribly wrong, he was quite lucky.
Our son was most enamoured by the recovery vehicle delivering our car and his dad. He was allowed to move the ramp back (using the little levers on the real thing) and was mightily impressed. Here is his rendition of it:
Love my son! Today I attached a ceiling lamp in my husbands bedroom/office, a simple affair of three spotlights. What does my son say Oh nice, three lights. Now dad can illuminate three different spiderwebs!
Things that lamps are useful for.
One thing is for sure, this abomination wont move with us into the new apartment.
The dangers of Denglish. In October 2018 my son had asked me where his compass was and I said I didnt know but would look for it, thinking I had seen the thing somewhere, after all he needed it for Scouts fairly regularly. He asked again the night before he needed it in school. We never found it. On the way to school he finally said what he meant in German It was the compass to draw circles, not the one for navigation. In German the one to draw circles is called, wait for it: Zirkel. It never entered my mind that he meant that one. But at least I did know where it was
This one just crossed my way on Facebook Memories. I decided it was a good one for my long neglected blog.
Cant wait to read this of a cousin. So cool.
Sometimes it's just time to spray things black.
For how much I hate moving, every 2-3 years since I was 10 years old is a lot, right
I hate moving still.

A diagram re what was essentially an algorithm. I wasn't thinking about AI back then, but it's essentially an idea for shuffling sounds in real-time, a few years before "shuffle play" entered the lexicon.
Pattern Theory #1
Running internal diagnostics on music subsystems. Uncertain results. An angular abstract for today's offering.
This week's layout. Got a couple new stamp colours in, so I thought I'd play around. Enjoying this orange/warm pink colour scheme. :) Definitely more suited to the season!
