Conflicted reminiscences & covering great distances

Weeknote #58 (8 - 14 June 2026)

June 14, 2026

A busy week with a trip to Coventry on Saturday.

A call from a cousin mid-week lead to a trip to Coventry on Saturday. I was expecting it to be a hospital visit, but they were discharged on Friday. I combined my trip with a visit to a friend (also having had a couple of emergency hospital visits recently).

Some days I struggle with (a) getting old, but (b) not feeling old, and (c) finding myself reminiscing a lot. My mind dwells on the 'what if's and the 'if only's rather than the more positive moments in my life history. I'm sure there are some, somewhere.

A couple of articles written:

Road trip meant more opportunities to catch up on my **listening**:

  • Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers "Glory (Deluxe)" album. Australian girl-band that sound like Elastica, amongst other things.
  • YONAKA "Until You're Satisfied" album.
  • Luvcat "Vicious Delicious" album.
  • Lenka "Good days" album.
  • ghostbells "Catacouture" EP.
