Weeknotes 2022.39

A couple of things I’ve been thinking about this week. The thirty-ninth post of a series.


I gave a presentation this week to prospective public health trainees. I’m told that my enthusiasm for my job was “obvious and infectious”, which is a surprise after the last three years.


Eleven years and five months ago, Wendy and I spent ages browsing shop upon shop, trying to find two decent sofas. This week, we’ve been doing it again.

Now, as then, only a tiny proportion of sofas are to our taste. There are frequent exclamations of “Who would want that in their house?!”
