I was chatting to my parents on the phone on the weekend, and they mentioned that they had read about all the computers I have, which means they've been reading this gemlog.
2020-07-12 - How Many Computers?!
This means my parents have been in the geminispace, probably through the vulpes.one proxy which is linked from my single web pages that remain at SDF and tilde.club. I wonder if it means that Gemini is mainstream when your parents start checking up on you through it?
Other than that, this weekend I did some streaming of vinyl mixes on tilderadio. Sunday morning (US) is definitely a very quiet time there, so only one or two people heard me making mistakes. Taking up buying vinyl and being a living room DJ has definitely helped keep me sane lately. With work from home, the coronavirus stuff, and the fact it's very hot now in the Texas summer, I'm not out of the house very much. It's nice to have music-y things to do. The children even enjoy having a dance party in the living room sometimes :-)
Tasty food is a good to stay happy too. We've had a couple of British style roast dinners in the past monthand I've finally got the timing down to have crispy roast potatoes and nice beef that isn't overdone. Reliably good Yorkshire puddings are still a challenge. Yesterday we received a nice parcel from Cornwall, with Jelly Babies, Wine Gums, and Saffron cake in it. Yum yum.
