    Snuck out of the meet and greet. They can stay in the office, I’d prefer to spend my personal time doing my own thing.

    This is one of the temu things I got

    I asked for an extension from the real estate agent
    On the twice-yearly inspection, ridiculously invasive
    They graciously gave me another week to prepare
    Though I think the concept is entirely unfair.

          As an academic, weekday finery means a collared shirt instead of a tshirt. And my nice jeans.

            For me it’s sneakers instead of runners. Still rock the collared shirt. Perhaps chinos instead of jeans.

    Whew that was a super hectic talk-through of whatever shonky slides I already have but it looks like I am mostly there. The power of just slapping up one image with notes on another screen so you can talk as little or as much as needed depending on time!

    Looks like my supervisor is pretty flat out marking other stuff next week so it really is hyper-compressed crunch time rest of this week to get the slides to a usable place, then get a 90% draft of the thesis across by latest Tuesday next week.

    Ah well, I operate best under pressure and maybe it’s a good target for me to try and get this wrapped up by my RL cake day around that due date as a bonus motivator… time to clear the weekend and get more food ordered! 🦾

    Popcorn has 94kcal per serving.
    Each bag has 10 servings.
    I did not eat 1 serving.

      Consider an air popper if you want lower calorie popcorn. Plus you can make it from a small scoop of popcorn, rather than committing to a whole bag. e: plus if you open an unpopped bag, there’s a bunch of oil in there to help with the popping and flavour.

    Loong beach walk, went to where the mangroves start. Saw two pelicans out of the water and close up, they are BIG, much bigger than I thought.

    I’m loving this beach/sea side life, it’s just what I needed to destress. 🙂

        these are part of mud flats/marshland that go quite a distance

        pretty much impossible to navigate after this point as it is all salty mud flats, no sandy beach

        it’s a nature reserve after this point
