Aka Wednesday 13th February 2019
Today I walked a total of 8.33km (5.18 miles), which took 3
hours 14 minutes and 16 seconds and burnt through 1,008 calories and took 13,098
steps…

to what Brian Eno said about his ambient music, that it can be both foreground
music, that you listen to and focus on, and background music, that helps you
focus on other things, other thoughts. 8/10.
…and I picked up my lottery winnings of £2.80 and a free
lucky dip…it’s always nice to win, but you can’t retire on £2.80…
…and I did the G2 Crossword:
…which goes a little worse than yesterday’s as I have to
cheat on a quarter of the clues (six out of 24). It wasn’t a case of struggling
with all the clues, it’s just that I couldn’t connect these six clues with
their answers, those connections were just absent from my mind! But I did learn
that the collective term for ’conditions such as housemaid’s knee’ is ‘bursitis’
(“inflammation and swelling of a bursa, a fluid-filled sac which forms under
the skin, usually over the joints, and acts as a cushion between the tendons
and bones”)…
…and some other crosswords and puzzles:
