You can keep it. Not a fan of sushi.
Here I’m cold and miserable. Which is what happens when you are sick and due back to work tomorrow after a week off.
It’s a wet and dull day in the UK. Not that I’ve been outside in days.
Got a tip for us?

It's also wet, gray, and pretty cold here in northern Wisconsin. Got one and a half inches of rain in the last day. I grew up in the Southwest, and so I am used to hot, dry, and sunny days year-round.
I love sushi, just as I love (almost) all Asian cuisine.
However, despite what my driver told me, actually, volunteered, I hadn't asked - that sushi is to be had - when I was collected at the airport a few weeks ago, I didn't expect to see it in the regions.
Wow.
Good luck with your health and with work.
War, dry and sunny here.
No.
They had their war a little over a quarter of a century ago (and are still traumatised by it); nobody I have met wishes to revisit those days.
Somewhat to my surprise, the local (fresh) fish (as I discovered on my first visit here, shortly after the war, more than a quarter of a century ago), - above all, bream and squid - is - are - astonishingly good.
Now, I think that the imported 'standards' also apply when the subject under discussion is sushi.
That's totally fair! People have recommended Musescore as a free alternative, but apparently it crashes all the time, and I've had a lot of friends actually lose assignments because of Musescore crashing. So nope, not giving into that!!
Wish I could continue using Sibelius Ultimate, cause it's honestly a very good program, but Avid wants me to pay them $100 for "renewing" a PREPAID license (and therefore it wasn't actually a prepaid license, they just said it was).

Enjoyed (and yes, this verb has been used quite deliberately) a four hour car journey through incredibly scenic countryside (mountains, rivers, ancient towns) in order to attend a (pre-scheduled) meeting.
Nursed mosquito bites (the winged menaces adore me, it is one of those asymmetrical relationships, they love me, I hate them), and devoured a few delicious espressos, along with homemade lemonade and sparkling mineral water.

I was filling out a survey about volunteer work, and one question was about how many weekly hours you volunteer. If you volunteer for 10 hours a week, there's no answer for you to choose!
Watching my cat. Speaking to my cat. Only one ear twitches (the closest one to me).
Is that all I'm worth, after all the food, beds and warm chairs to occupy? Just one ear?????
Also, thinking about cats. Is it just me, or do science fiction/fantasy writers tend towards cats (those who aren't writing about dragons).
Cordwainer Smith's pinlighting cats, and C'Mell, still one of my favourite heroines of all genera.
And Robert Heinlein's Pixel(The Cat who walked through Walls) and Pete (The Door into Summer). Anyone who has ever been staff for cats knows Pete.

What is on my mind is how the effects (the after effects) of a war, or conflict, linger long after the formal end of a conflict (such as an accord, or peace treaty, a date often found in history books, or works of political analysis), and continue to have an enduring effect on people's lives, decades later.
Today I laid eyes on a legendary, quite exquisitely beautiful bridge, an historic bridge, one dating back centuries, and the inspiration for one of the great works of literature from this region.
Believe it or not, it was pouring rain - downpours, mists, fog, - appalling light - today.
Yesterday......well, yes, yesterday, was amazing.
Dry here today. But we had plenty of rain yesterday.
Bins out. Washing up done. In bed with my hot water bottle. Hoping for a good nights sleep.
Doing well actually! Off to choir rehearsal, then combo rehearsal after that.
A hot water bottle?
Wonderful.
Be still, my beating heart.
Do enjoy.
That is something I have to look forward to - along with my electric blanket - on my return in mid October.
I'm investigating the cost of getting my car repaired, so it's not the most enjoyable day
Maybe (OK, probably) it's just me, but the title of this thread, "What's on Your Mind?" seems to imply something very different from "how (or what) are you doing today?" Yes, a matter of semantics and also, I'll admit that I do tend to be literal..... For me, whatever is on my mind is usually in a different category from whatever I'm actually physically doing or how I am feeling physically or emotionally.
So that's what's on my mind!
