Autumn lasted about a month, in the end. It’s very much early winter now. 2.22pm and it already feels dark. I’m doing research reading and writing reconfigurations for Orbital Operations and LTD, with several cups of Kenyan peaberry coffee shots. (I grind them to espresso fines and run them through the Tassimo with a reusable pod like this one.)

Thinking ahead to 2024, generally. I’m waiting on so many potential things that the new year is more uncertain than any other new year for a long time. It’s time for me to take some control over that. I get passive when I’m tired. The actual move is to redouble energies and take them in different directions.
