Rushing this out, a little, because tomorrow we hit the road and I know that if I leave, it won’t happen. So, possibly sketchy, but done.
Highlights of the month:
- A car, new to me, and the old one trashed; a shame, because the motor was perfectly fine. Just the rest of it was not.
- New barbecue too, inaugurated with a good steak, thanks to the Thermopen.
- Eat This Newsletter no longer on the site. It will go to Tw and FB each time, and that’s all. Apart from subscribers.
- First dinner out at friends. So pleasant.
- Determined to quit my Italian bank, eventually, and took the first steps to do so.
- Installed Unpaywall, not least because Sci-hub has been no good for me lately.
- Cultural Quickies to the Vatican Museums and the Galleria Nazionale dell’Arte Moderna.
- Gave a Zoom talk to Colorado Grain Chain’s home school stream.
- An evening on the beach, with dinner.

Activities
June:
- Walking with sticks 0
- Reading: 7 (Mostly magazines; could not select a novel)
- Steps (avge): 8874 (up a lot)
- Podcasts: 43.
- 7 Minutes: 13 days and 39 cycles (Not doing the single cycles between times any more)
May:
- Walking with sticks 0
- Reading: 15
- Steps (avge): 7802 (up a good bit)
- Podcasts: 34, but I know some are missing. Only recorded 3 of the 8 episodes of Gangster Capitalism on the NRA, and I know I listened to the whole thing because it was thoroughly wonderful.
- 7 Minutes: 17 days and 39 cycles (missed a couple of days to a brief cold)
Work
Even more paid work this month than last, and it is too much. I need a break, and maybe to turn some stuff down. But there’s always that fear. What if they never ask me again?

Goals
Only four new posts in June, and a couple of older ones, both bread recipes that I noticed people were looking for.
Niggles
This remains unlooked at: It would be good to error check the script that pulls in the podcasts I’ve listened to. Why does it occasionally miss an episode when the data clearly show I listened to it?
Final remarks
Very ready for a rest.
