Ex-academic. Ex-engineer. I like opera, theatre, live music, art. Mathematics and science interest me. I read a lot, nowadays, knit a bit, and go out less than I would like to. Random posts, no theme.

Please tell me how I, singlehandedly, can eat three loaves of bread and two packs of rolls before they go mouldy. There is no room in the freezer, so I can’t freeze them

Shocking
President Trump on Jamal Khashoggi, who the CIA determined was ordered to be killed by Saudi Crown Prince MBS:

"You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen."

During lockdown I posted the picture on the left on my instagram. A couple of days later, it appeared on the Guardian’s twitter. Bit of a surprise

The dances are usually really literal interpretations of the songs. What are they supposed to be? #totp

The #snailposting thing is still going on it seems. I don’t have any more real snails, but I do have a couple of books that feature them heavily. They are completely different from each other, I promise
