Life
In Malta, hanging out with my mom. There was an owl on the bus.
Otherwise – finalising my plans for South America for April / May. Exciting!
Work
Light week, but I really needed a break after the week before! We ran another Technically Speaking hangout, I prepped for my talk at NSConf next week, and dealt with some small bits and pieces I hadn’t got to lately, like sending out a new build of Show and Hide.
Media
Watching Gossip Girl. Reading The Sleep Book(week 2 of a 5 week plan so I expect to just read a section each week for the next 4 weeks), and Thinking in Systems. Finished The Gift, the thing with her books is that they are often so bittersweet. Also read New Year’s: Nathaniel P. as Seen Through the Eyes of His Friend Aurit.
