Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 21: Good Weather

After a very hot first half of the month, May has settled into surprisingly pleasant weather here in Pune – I don’t know if I can fully trust this weather, since our “summer” has had two weeks of daily rain. We might be about to have a strange mixed monsoon/

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 19: Rest & Relaxation

It’s been a good week – light on work. I’ve been trying to cook at home more (the pandemic and intervening years got me far too used to ordering in), and that’s been going well. Health-wise, I’m doing much better – no pain these days, though I’m

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 07: Minor Breakages

I haven’t sent out a status update for the last couple of weeks, and I haven’t posted on my blog in that time either (as I had intended). There’s a simple reason for that – I’ve been going through stuff. For three weeks, I was busier than
