Thursday, February 5th, 2026 03:39 pmOne thing I find on these Tiktok videos I keep watching instead of, yanno, reading something improving or reading something I want to get off the shelf or just reading, is the common wisdom that Canadians take their shoes off in the house. I mean, yes of course I do, I lived in Japan and some behaviours just stick, like putting my hand out, thumb up, when I have to walk in front of someone. But. But. I started taking my shoes off five years before I ever went to Japan, when I moved into an apartment with woooden floors and another tenant underneath me. Before that it was shoes on all the time. Just, at some point evidently everyone decided to take their shoes off.
Boots of course were different. If they were wet or muddy of course you took them off. But otherwise no, you kept them on even if you were lying on a bed in the daytime.
Last week's reading wasn't much, probably because of those Tiktok videos. Flora's Fury gave me a reading hangover. But otherwise only Dr. Siri #13 which had a bit too much Message for me.
