Bye bye iOS, hello Android.

Our dog had another seizure last night. Fortunately I was still up, so was able to be there while it happened. Again, he seems none the worse for wear, other than the exhaustion from the seizure and the drugs that make him a tad wobbly for a few hours. I slept downstairs on the sofa to keep en eye on him, as per the vets advice, but no further happenings.

Now that he has had a second I guess it makes it more likely that there is an underlying problem. At nearly fifteen he has had a good innings so for however much longer we have him, we want to him to be happy and for us to enjoy his company.

I was able to watch three talks live at yesterday’s Stoicon plus some other bits as well.

Kai Whiting and Leonidas Konstantakos presented the first talk on The Equality of Moral Errors(sounds esoteric but was anything but), from which I learned about their book Being Better: Stoicism for a World Worth Living in.

I’ve added this to my reading list as it goes into Stoicism and its relevance to social justice, climate breakdown and global capitalism - some of the issues that have prompted me to look to philosophy for answers.

I’ve bought my ticket for Stoicon 2021. All to be enjoyed from the comfort of my home! Tickets available from the above link.

I learned that the library at my son’s new school has a post-apocalyptic section. 😆 In the fiction department, I might add.

This is a shame to read about. Coquet Island has been the backdrop to many a happy hour on the Northumberland coast, and it’s sad to hear that the wardens are having to take steps to keep unauthorised people away. ‘Rogue’ paddleboarders and kayakers threaten seabird sanctuary | Birds | The Guardian
