GI was throwing a family picnic on Saturday and I managed to drag Mom, Athena and Eris to it. It’s at this place called the Kirkstall Abbey which was a very beautiful ruin in the middle of a park. There were games and stuff and Eris made a lot of friends, especially with Blue who has total camp counselor vibes.

Mom made Whatsapp friends with the other moms and we all just talked and had a good time, really. Eris sounded really cute when we did the pronoun around and he said “she/her” with her little speech impediment. 

In other news, I applied for a job at McDonalds and got a phone interview which they cancelled the next day due to “unforeseen circumstanced” which I assume is code for “we actually don’t want to hire you.” 

Luckily, one of Mom’s friend’s actually owns a restaurant which she offered to employ me at. The pay sucks, but, what can you do? At least I get a free meal every shift. 

Jane, the woman who owns the restaurant, doesn’t know that I’m trans and even commented that I have a very young face.

“Yeah, it’s in his genes” is how my mom replied. Smooth. 

I have a trial shift next week where I’ll be trained. In the meantime, she handed me a menu which I guess I’ll memorize. She didn’t say what to do with it, she just handed it to me.

No kiss.  Fine but dullish morning F66° at 7am when had done up travelling bag - quite ready for being off, and went down to breakfast - took George and Eugenie and A- and I off to Kirkstall bridge at 8 - alighted there at the Star and Garter Inn at 9 37 - wrote and sent by George between 10 and 11 (who went for the other chesnut pony) note to ‘Mr Harper, architect York’ to beg him so to make his arrangements that I should see him at Shibden on Thursday evening that I had left with my aunt for him to have if he asked for them the plan of the engine pit levels of the brook and Mr Gray’s sketch of the drybridge - and wrote note also by George to ‘Mr Woodall Woollen draper Low Ousgate York’ hoping the cloak was quite ready to be given to my servant this evening if not he could not wait for it longer than 10 am tomorrow - the bill to be sent with the cloak and I ‘will pay as immediately as possible’ - Mr Brown the drawing master from York, arrived ¼ or ½ hour after us - A- and he set off to the abbey about ¼ hour before me - I there at 10 55 a ten minutes walk along a neat shaded private walk from the Inn to a sort of Lodge at the end of it where crossed dam-stones or wear of a large mill into the field in which stands the fine ruin - A- and Mr B- had not chosen their station - no getting into the church part all walled up from the public - the key-keeper living at some distance - it was some time before I could send the little girl from the lodge and get the other little girl who shewed me into the cloisters - A- by this time seated at her sketching - just looked about - the whole of the church part remaining the aisles even still in a great measure not unroofed - only the south side of the great square tower remaining - very interesting ruin - Cistercian monastery founded by Henri de Laci in 1147 - why have I never been here exploring before? Why not see all at and about home before journeying farther? Sat down on a bench in the cloisters (the quondam burying ground now a kitchen garden, full of gooseberry bushes) and read from page 33 to 47 of Bertrand’s Revolution of the globe and then slumbered till A- and M Brown came to me at one - A- tired - brought her home and made her lie down and take strawberries and wine after which she slept about ¾ hour till 2 35 and got up quite refreshed - off to the abbey again at 2 ¾ and there in 10 minutes A- sketched from 2 stations very nicely, not at all tired, till 5 40 -  I resumed my morning’s seat and read from page 47 to 173 Bertrand - very much interested - a good translation from the French but I must have the original - sauntered about looking for a station for tomorrow till home at 6 20 - then dinner at 6 ½ - Mr Brown dined with us and staid till 10 5 when I made the move for retiring - my hope that he would retire soon after dinner was vain - so long as conversation ran on his favourite subject the minster-screen changing, on which it appears he wrote and published a pamphlet and seems to have had the merit of overturning the plot for removing it - all was well, but when he got on the perspective he passed my understanding and I think, his own.  the question was to tell under what angle we saw each object  - He had told A- in the morning she should take her sketch at the distance of twice the height of the object that would be at an angle of 27° - he examined me after dinner and explained and made me feel as if I judged and answered like a drivler [driveler] - his rules and explanations were alike beyond the sphere of my comprehension - he judged that the top of the abbey tower was removed from our dining room window 30 times (the length of the height of the tower) and that we saw it under an angle of 3° - we then turned the objects in the room A- sat about 5 yards from me - I was to consider the breadth occupied by her breadth on the chord of a quadrant of 90° - I was to make her form a right angle of which I myself was the apex - after much talk the diagram was

A- 5 yards from me B- 2 ½ to 3 yards from me then supposing her breadth to occupy 1/10 of the line AB (chord he called it of the quadrant formed by the whole figure) he said 90/10 = 9 .:. I saw her under an angle of 9°! I begin said I to understand what you mean - when you told me to form a quadrant myself to be the apex of the right angle I thought only of forming the 2 limbs of the angle equal - the figure ABL is not a quadrant BL should equal AL (2 radii) to form a quadrant of a circle - I must be enlightened by some other means than Mr Brown - he lamented at dinner the idleness of youth - that they would not study - that all his pupils at the Mechanics institute left - a young man son to be a builder at Scarbro’ found geometry too dry - very likely - if Mr Brown taught taught his pupils as he has taught me this evening  - very fine day - F70° in our bedroom (over the water) at 10 ½ pm
