What a weird day so far. Went to Charles street dole office to show up that I am still alive; 10 minutes, out I went.
By the bike rack there's a Chinese bloke refitting the dropped chain on his bike I asked if he needed help. he said no, OK.As I am about to go, he comes over and speaks to me in Chinese, I do not understand a word. So he spoke into his phone which then translated. really weird language, he spoke on the phone which then came up with a series of Chinese writing and spoke in English. Amazing.
Spent about an hour having a chat with this bloke, in his fifties, from Shangai, said his son was a student here, he was here on holiday as his country his much too hot in Summer. Weird that.
Anyway it all went almost well, he asked if this was a school, no it isn't but it is student accommodation, then said this city is not much to write home about, I agreed.
Asked if there were flea markets nearby I said no, not near, and gave him direction to Sully, where there is a market on sundays unless it's raining.
And that was that, goodbye, have a nice day - in Chinese sounds really weird and beautiful, Off I went on my bike, at a certain point realized I did not have my spectacles on. ACH! I said to myself, where are they? not hanging by the neck chain I wear, not in the pockets, not on the bike bags. I went back and forth twice on the road to find them, not a sign, not a shadow, no specs smashed under car's wheels,
u nothing.
not a shade.Went back in the office, asked the security, then to the desk, none. Nothing. Weird.
Back out again, walked up the road gain, again nothing, not a piece, nothing. At this point though is it possible I forgot them in the flat? So returned to the flat, searched the usual area and other parts, nothing, no specs. Gone. Vanished. Completely. WTF?
Really strange to lose one's specs; doesn't make much difference nowadays, still...

Ah, yes, the riveting saga of midcentury North American placemats—a true triumph of modern archaeology! 🏺✨ Who knew that digging through a plastic tub at a flea market would unveil the apex of historical research? 🙄 Just imagine the thrill of deciphering ketchup stains from the 1940s! 🍔🕵️♀️

Phase 0, the recapping, of the #restoration of this #Shiljalis #PortableTV was completed yesterday.
Today I completed phase 1: bypassing the RF modulator and conditioning a #composite signal for video input.
Next will be feeding audio to the internal amplifier, and then tuck everything inside the box, preferably without drilling anything.I can't believe how sharp this screen has become. And just two weeks ago it was in a pile of junk, drenched in water, at a #fleamarket.
Tough, I wonder why my pixel keeps adding this bluish tint to every #blackandwhite CRT...

The girls have decided that they wanted to go to the flea market. We have two options--one is further away and charges a parking fee (high one at that) and the other is close by & doesn't. I convinced them the closer one was better because we can also do something else. I was hoping the Upick blueberry farm, but whatever...
