Dahlias

These are dahlias that were on the table at a coffee shop I went to this week.

I did some cool things this week but they’ll have to wait. I have been super busy this week with no time to write.

Summary of the week

This week I learned

• The ‘bel’ in decibel is for Alexander Graham Bell, and since the B is a name-derived unit it’s capitalised when abbreviated—hence dB.

This week I noticed

• A magpie on the roof of a different coffee shop. A kookaburra landed on the roof, and the magpie stared it down and the kookaburra left.

Reading

• Let Them by Mel Robbins

Watching

• They Found A Cave (1961)
