Ennui

Today is the first since my operation that I've had no dressings on my bonce and it has been exposed to the elements.

I've been primarily confined to the house by Hay., in case I have a relapse, although I have been allowed a daily walk as far as Yate. Plenty of time to catch up on my reading and there's now little I don't know about the Spartans, Peter the Great or the beginnings of Athenian democracy. I am, however, going a bit stir-crazy and need something practical to divert my attention.

While incapacitated I caught up on a few YouTube videos by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the Lebanese American risk analyst, and commend this short video to you.
