lol, trying some shit on a plane with more than two Israeli passengers of reasonable good health seems like a stupid idea. there's a good chance you'll have people trained in hand-to-hand combat and / or who can fly and land planes on board. that's what conscription to the IDF does to people.

honestly, I expected much more on here about the flydubai thing... are all Avgeeks still asleep or what?

three more trips to London this year.

had to buy this magazine, didn't even check what it contains. might frame and hang it in my room.

I was just told by some ~28yr old guy that I apparently look like one of the Powerpuff Girls. I was on my grocery run, no makeup, no nothing. I should provide La Mer with an endorsement for their face moisturizer. Apparently it makes a 41-year-old woman look like a Kindergarten superhero.

found out yesterday that there's something better to keep me on the treadmill at the gym than Netflix: watching a 20yr old guy in tight shorts and a rashguard doing professional level diving jumps right in front of me. (I love my new gym-cum-Olympic-pool combo)

Autumn is also just a conspiracy by Big Trousers.

I did: - dig through 2yrs of unsorted papertrail to find that one letter with that one random number needed to switch my online banking to my new phone - call a bunch of psychiatrists to find one who can provide what my GP requested - cancel my UK credit card YAY me!

don't ask why I felt the need to buy a book about the 61st Venice Biennale

I'm so basic - after weeks and weeks of sunshine and heat, it's been grey and windy the last few days, and I'm immediately questioning my life choices and considering disappearing myself.

grim reaper is drawing closer: "that blonde... clown... no, not that blonde, and not that clown... you need to take out that war criminal... well, closer, but still not quite the correct war criminal blond clown"

for everything I'm currently thinking about my mother, I'm a horrible horrible person.

"what motivates you in your work?" ...getting paid, mate, getting paid.

'twas in the year of the lord 2026 that my firm made me sit through 30mins mandatory training on "how to be productive working from home"

turns out I may mostly hate umami

my mother has an accident. my sister's reaction: "omg, I wish we lived closer!" my reaction: "omg, I wish I lived on a different continent so I'd have a better excuse to not deal with this..."

how socially inacceptable is it to offer my mother to pay for a full-time carer (because she just broke her arm) instead of going there myself and looking after her and my dad with Alzheimers?

mini brains from a petri dish? can't be more stupid than some of the people I encounter on a daily basis... can I hire them?

obviously, we decided to go to Seoul. follow me for more completely thought through and well planned travel tips!

lol, Batumi or Baku?

@georginagodwin.bsky.social please tell Tyler NO on doing monocle radio with video, it's horrible for audio-only listeners and an unnecessary and rude pressure especially on women.

sometimes there are books that I really want to like, but I just don't... Proto, by Laura Spinney, is one. I wanted more language, and a lot less genetics and archaeology.

things I have achieved this week: - sorted out issues with my Sim card on my new phone - setup 2FA for company systems on my new phone - had an eye test, ordered new glasses, will receive new lenses in 2 weeks - had 2 pairs of shoes repaired - picked up clothes from the cleaners - 2 loads of laundry

the boyfriend trying to convince me to watch The Bombing of Pan Am 103: "...and all the political links and implications and ..." Me: You had me at 'baggage handling process improvements' 🥰

started a list "things I really like about Germany" - currently it contains local fresh produce markets, the variety of apples, bread, playgrounds, protection of renters, and the Deutschlandticket.

Ich packe meinen Koffer und packe ein Buch... und noch ein Buch... und noch eins... und noch eins und noch eins und noch eins... Zum Glück gibt's im ICE keine Gewichtsbeschränkung des Gepäcks.

new phone who dis?

One of the great joys of my adult life has been realizing that I can just pick up a new skill every so often, take a fun little class in it weekly for a year or two, and simply enjoy meeting people and getting medium proficient and not attempting to become professional in it at all!

I'm starting to get offended under what circumstances of my facial state my banking app still recognizes me to approve payments...
