The happy place

Went to my new job today for some cake. It was super nice.

Picked up part two of Discworld; the one after “Colour of Magic”, while in the big city, and some levain bread. I put that one in the hood of my special hooded wilderness jacket, because I went without backpack.

So I had one Discworld book on either side pocket, and some artist brushes, some special ones with very pointy points for high precision painting, which I also bought. And of course the loaf of bread as previously described.

At lunch I had a very interesting discussion with a great friend from a job we worked at together decades ago and a new friend whose name didn’t stick. He had a special interest in cryptographic algorithms but were only writing API:s these days. Anyhow there were some very intelligent intellectual discussions of course and again I can’t really recall but it was very pleasant. One highlight was all government agencies dumping encrypted traffic for decades onto storage for decryption possibly with quantum computers in the future. That’s a scary one.

Discworld series because it’s my BFF:s favourite of all times and it’s something I been planning to read so now the time is ripe.

Always people brag about books like this: (for a classic, say some Dostojevskij or Camus or whatever):, they’d say that they first read the book in their teens, that’s always when they read all of the classics for the first time. If they read a classic in a greater age it’s always a re read.

Think I could count all classics I read in my teens on a single finger it was that “of mice and men” because it was the shortest one for a school assignment. I read only comic books like Conan and Lobo and harlequin books. The books because I had a hunger for being loved like them ladies in those books were.

Anyway that was a side track.
