I am wearing trousers and socks, like a motherfucker

Monday last week I put my winter duvet on my bed, after a week or so of airing it in my spare room as it still smells of fake shearing shed smell after all these years, just in time to have it on for mornings of actual ice on the ground rather than just a touch of frost.

It is autumn, stupid weather what is trying too hard.

Also, after close to a year of washing and drying the same set on sheets fast enough to get them back onto the bed same day, I had to swap to one of my other seats of sheets that hadn’t been used in at least a year.  Not only did they have unfortunate custom wood cupboard smell, but the fitted sheet made a deeply unsettling sound of persisting elastic giving out.  Which is not ideal.


On Thursday, after an early morning walk in the frosty start, wearing shoes and trousers for the first time in a long while, I impulsively went into a furniture store and lucked into finding an actual wood bookcase with polish a fairly close match for my bedroom furniture that was the floor model of a discontinued line so marked down to near half price.


Otherwise, the last more than a week mostly went to very disturbed sleep patterns thanks to the new Stellaris expansion - a single playthrough made extremely slow by new origin and civic options that combined to generate a ridiculous quantity of species and slowed the game so very, very much.
