@R_Chirgwin @Asher_Wolf @carolduncan @Info_Aus @mpesce I’m far from convinced that a “quick” podcast is the best use of everyone’s time.

@nidhalaigh Thanks. It’ll appear late Monday afternoon, I think, depending on how quickly I can fact-check a couple things.
Until a couple of weeks ago, I didn’t realise there was even a thing called “very severeâ€. I still think they just made it up.
Sun plan, supplemental: Oddly enough, some work on Sunday will significantly reduce my stress levels, which have been “very severeâ€.
Sun plan, remainder: Pasta; blog x 2; map out next week; Weekly Wrap; notes on this Census malarkey tomorrow’s column. All at Sunday pace.
Right, let’s have a go at the rest of Sunday without any burning buildings.
It looks like I’m in no danger of incineration yet, so I’ll return to trying to sleep in, all these diesel engines and radios permitting.
