Stephen's Notebook

I think spring just sproinged.

I mentioned how great it was to see the return of Hakuho to Grand Sumo this month. He’s just retired from the tournament again. Hey-ho.

It’s Grand Sumo Tournament time again. I’ve been watching Sumo on the NHK World Japan TV channel for a few years now and its become a bit of an addiction. There hasn’t been any yokozuna action for a while so it’s great to see Hakuho back. Looking good so far.

The iOS app 1Writer is a very good companion for Obsidian. Notes and backlinks sync and if you set the default extension in 1Writer to “.md” you can create Obsidian notes there too. It’s nice to find a purpose for an app I bought a long time ago and never used.

Finished watching Pretend It’s A City on Netflix and now I want to read some Fran Lebowitz.

I seem have escaped any of the more common side effects of yesterday’s Covid jab. I shivered with cold for a little while last night, which might not have been related anyway, but I’m feeling fine now.

I got my first Covid jab today and also unfriended someone on another social media site. A Covidiot of course. Every post was like a personal insult or slap in the face to those of us that are trying to do the right thing. We didn’t interact anyway so no big loss.

I don’t want a foldable phone. I want a thin slab of plastic like the devices in The Expanse.

October was such a dreary month and the rest of the year is shaping up to be more of the same. I’m someone who likes to be at home but the lockdown blues are starting to get to me too. I haven’t felt like doing anything for weeks. Music and films are keeping me a bit buoyant.
