This morning I did my usual four online classes, finishing off a week of talking about Boredom with kids. It was actually a really interesting topic, especially discussing potential links between boredom and the ability to let your mind wander and be creative. It was clear most of the kids had never considered that possibility before, and thought it was a fascinating thing to think about.
At lunch I walked Scully to my wife’s work, where she spent the rest of the afternoon. I ran a 5k route home for exercise, and managed a decent time.
In the afternoon I inspected the cabinet under our kitchen sink, measuring it up to find what size of waste bin would fit under there. I think I mentioned earlier that we’re planning to replace the free-standing bin on the kitchen floor with one tucked away under the sink. I searched online for kitchen bins to see what sizes are available. It was hard picking one though, so I think I’ll need to take the dimensions of the available space to the hardware store, pick a bin that fits, and then come home and rearrange things to make space for it. I’d planned to do the rearranging today to make space, but realised it’ll be better to do it once I know what size bin we have.
This evening I have a day off teaching at the university, because it’s student study vacation week. I’ll be back next week to help students with their image processing projects.
Oh, and last night I watched Insidious: The Red Door on Netflix. I’ve been watching this movie series, and also The Conjuring series, and I finally realised why I keep getting movies from the two series confused. Because Patrick Wilson plays a lead character in both series!! The whole time through the movie last night I was getting vague feelings that this guy belonged somewhere else, not in this movie.
