Week 25, 2025
🥱 Spent most of the week sorting out life admin and being ill with a bug 🤧
🏋️♀️ Last week’s weight loss: –2.5 kg 👍
📚 Cambridge Latin Course I, Ch. 4 ✅
💰 Lost most of a day searching for better home and car insurance quotes; time well spent though, ended up saving a stack!
🎲 Monthly board game night at a friend’s house; played Terraforming Mars for the first time. Really liked it! Also, I won.
✈️ Managed to bag tickets for a late-September tour of the XH558 Vulcan bomber (incl. cockpit) after years of trying—sells out fast! Finally get to see my name plaque under her starboard wing, almost a decade after donating.
