§ I’m still feeling a bit gross and ill but much better than I did this time last week.
§ My Apple Watch hasn’t been connected to my phone since I upgraded to the 16 at the end of September. I only really mind it when when an alarm or timer is active on my phone and I instinctively try to cancel it on my watch only for it to not be there. Otherwise it is a non-issue. Maybe I should just wear a normal watch? I ordered a cheap Timex to try out for a week.
§ I’ve been shooting a lot of video with Kino recently. If this continues I’m going to really regret getting the smallest storage capacity phone. At least you can record directly to external drives now.
§ I finally saw Oddity, apt now that we’re in proper spooky season. It did have some decent creepy bits, particularly near the beginning, but overall it wasn’t what I expected. The fact that it’s mostly unlikable people doing bad things to each other didn’t help.
In order to watch Oddity I subscribed to a month of Shudder where I also watched Stopmotion which was really interesting!
§ I pulled up most of my sad, sad tomato plants and put down seeds for a winter cover crop. I’ve never grown a cover crop before and I’m sure random radish, broccoli, and alfalfa sprouts aren’t the proper choice for this but it couldn’t hurt, right?
§ I also planted a few cloves of garlic that I saved from the most successful plants I grew this year.
Last year I planted garlic early November. Maybe getting these cloves in the ground slightly earlier will make for an earlier harvest next summer.
§ You should give Taylor’s Guerilla Gardening Guide a read:
Vacant land is much more expensive than its opportunity cost. Dirt lots cause crime, reduce biodiversity, accelerate desertification, etc. Plus, they’re ugly as h*ck.
Every vacant plot could be a home, park, market, garden, farm – anything is better than that landowner’s sloth/greed currently parked there.
§ Yesterday Caroline and I visited the International Cat Expo which was exactly as cute as you would imagine.
§ Not just one but two of my weeknote pals from the UK had sudden and mysterious leg-related injuries last week. Here’s hoping the curse doesn’t make it to this side of the pond.
