- Jrette wandering around watching TV on the iPad, overturning and breaking things in the kitchen. *sigh*
- Thorin sits down and starts singing about gold.
- Jrette stole my zombie novel — Carey’s 2014 Girl With All The Gifts — and proclaimed it to be the best book she’s read in ages. Now I am bookless.
- Mistakenly read two global catastrophe novels in a row. Now everything around looks temporary.
- Jrette is twelve today! I asked her if she doesn’t find the Vampire Diaries scary. “I would, only with a dad who’s a scientist, I’m not afraid of supernatural things.”
- Pittentian in Perthshire is a fine place name. Means “Willie No 10″ in Swedish.
- No, Google Music’s randomiser, the fact that I like Queens of the Stone Age and a few tunes by Eagles of Death Metal does not mean that you should play me lots of songs by the various bands that Josh Homme sings in, and little else.
- The vagueness of Medieval land ownership is infuriating. You could buy a farm, then years later for some reason receive a document from the former owner emphasising again that you did indeed buy the farm, and then his cousin would show up and demand that you hand the farm back because it used to belong to his granddad. Or the Crown. Or a bishop’s see. It had to do with ancient ideas about land belonging to lineages, where one’s relatives could have right of first purchase, or where land could simply be inalienable.
- Jrette wore my denim jacket to the movies!
- Check out my guest entries in Swedish on the Östergötland County Museum’s blog about the Stensö and Landsjö digs.
New kitchen finally almost done after over two months of awkwardness!
