Weekly diary, November 3, 2019

With relatives in town practically all week, have hardly had time to do anything else. I did manage pick up that book I was looking forward to, though.

Cats


Phosphor tries to ward Monty off
Phosphor tries to hold off the umpteenth enthusiastic grooming of the day. I am unsympathetic because when Phosphor was Monty's age, his grooming technique involved putting the other cat in a headlock first.

Fandom


Orycon is suddenly looming before me and I need to get some stuff written down for that panel.

Gaming


Really hardly time to do anything this week, but today I did make it through another chapter of Fire Emblem: Awakening and managed the super-difficult pairing of Chrom and Olivia.

Books and media


Somehow I found time to read Salvation Lost. Just finished off the Australian sf collection, and started The Raven Tower.

Politics


FiveThirtyEight is here to remind us all that polling is an inexact science and we should try not to get excited about any individual one.
