I’m probably late posting this, just like seasons seem to come later and later. Winter is NOT coming early, street decorations notwithstanding.
To think that this whole thing will one day fade from collective memory!
It’s possible I’m cutting this a bit short , since the prompt came out 24 hours ago #mbnov
Deuxième épisode de ma newsletter 🇫🇷-Geek Plus flou de près. Où notre héros construit une arborescence de fichiers.
Dependence defines the shadows without which my life would have no light.
My life used to be defined by daily train rides, until lockdown. I have to say I don’t miss them very much.
I wonder what memory of this time our children will have? I don’t think there have been, on our lifetimes, such defining moments as these. #mbnov
All right, so I decided to dive into the newsletter ocean. Strictly in French, I’m afraid, built especially for non-English speaking geeks who want to hop on the bandwagon. Find it here: plus flou de près
I’ve never felt more “at ease” in my soul then when I I lived far away from my home country, nor, weirdly, more French. I still yearn to go back to being an expat. #mbnov
Spooky is a funny word - really. It' really NOT self referential!
I guess it was fated - with a new lockdown, this feeling of one big continuous day stretching out for ages has finally caught up with my sense of time. We even have an excellent word for it in French: Lundimanche #mbnov
Having broken my streak - I shall not have a pin to wear this time around …
Say it ain’t so … please… say it ain’t so. I think I broke my streak unless the gods of international datelines are clement …
Care for the poor and the elderly should be the hallmark of civilization: none of these conditions are really in our control, yet most of us, as societies, behave like they are moral flaws instead of products of circumstances — " there but for fortune"
Lockdowns are hard because they feed into my natural tendency to shut down: I need to force myself to go out of the house for our alloyed hour every day. Not healthy #mbnov
Unpopular opinion: The Mandalorian season 2 is … not very good. Having watched “the Magnificent seven” the day before S2ep1 probably didn’t help.
Among the hobbies I’m collecting for my old age: to bind books.
I’m happy for today’s election result, but in the context of our economic woes, lockdown here at home, brexit and all the other long term issues, I really feel their importance is inflated. #mbnov
I’ve recently rewatched some of Richard Feynman’s videos, and I’ve reconnected with my sense of wonder at how puzzling the world is #mbnov
I’ve always thought it would be cool to have a stoop. But i guess i need to buy a house first… #mbnov
A truly good day Is when my car is Parked very near my doorstep

Day 2 : as I start a month of lockdown after a refreshing vacation, it’s hard to concentrate with this picture in my head!
What better time to (re)start a journaling habit than this November when we restarted a dreary lockdown here in France. #mbnov
House hunting again. I seriously hope these people sell their camera collection with the house.
