Planned to go out today for my first attempt at 'political street conversations' - basically, plopping down some chairs and a table with coffee and tea in the city center, and talking to random people who feel 'left behind' in some way, to build community and 'update' my view of people's daily issues.

Unfortunately things got delayed and we left quite late, and then I dropped my phone on the street and the screen finally cracked, and then I realized I forgot my masks and had to go back for them, and by that point it was getting so late and I was in such a bad mood that it was not really worth it anymore :(

Back home I discovered (as I tooted about earlier) that it's apparently very easy to replace the screen on my phone (which I had so far assumed unrepairable!), so that was a nice surprise.

But still, sucks that I couldn't go out and try this today. Really wanted to get started with this project today...

At least I now know that it is in fact possible to transport three folding chairs, a folding table, two 2L thermoses, and assorted other stuff on a single bicycle.
