Came up with some possible answers for a local history question I’ve been pondering (why a specific piece of land was excluded from the main Croydon Inclosure Act). Also came up with a new question that will require some reading to solve (the extent to which the lord of the manor was allowed to just inclose any common land he felt like inclosing).

[nanila]

Fascinating. I hope the lord of the manor was subject to at least a few restrictions on the imposition of his whims.

I’ve found it quite hard to find out what being the lord of the manor actually meant in this period (late 18th to early 19th century). It’s a bit of an awkward concept since it varies so much between different times and places. Fascinating, as you say, but not easy to research!

Put rubbish into the outside rubbish bin;

Put recycling into the outside recycling bin

Cut some weeds down to size with scissors so they were less of a trip hazard or an itch hazard;

Showered and washed my hair;

Emailed an online shop to say "Which products do you sell that do not contain [allergen] ?"

Called a friend to say hi and also to see if she was available to help with house-moving-adjacent tasks.

Messaged someone on Buy Nothing to see if they could drop some stuff round to someone who can't drive

Put stuff outside for Buy Nothing people to collect and messaged them

Did an online survey about what I wanted redevelopment of my suburb to look like
[affordable housing; tree cover; public art; wheelchair access]

[nou]

That’s a lot, yay for you! And also ohhhh wouldn’t that be a lovely redevelopment.

Wheelchair access is a must-have in my books.

Wheelchair access is a must-have in my books.

I've been using a power wheelchair since 2010/2011 so I am sure you can imagine my feelings on the subject...

Hung out again w/my neighbor across the hall for most of the day.





Got my flu shot for the year. I almost didn't though because of an insurance system glitch. But it worked out in the end and my mother and I were very relieved.





Downloaded the major new update for my phone that came out yesterday, but it wouldn't install probably due to poor wi-fi here. But I'm going to try again either later tonight or first thing in the morning while I'm in the shower. Nobody is usually online at that time, so I think it'll have a better chance of working.

Yay flu shot! Fingers crossed for successful installation of the big update.

Many productive meetings today.

[nanila]

That's a satisfying day at work. *\o/*

Lots more research on my favorite beads (specifically, who sells them inexpensively).

Got myself a mask icon.

Did some catching up with social channels.

[nanila]

And a fantastic icon it is. 👏🙂
