I have been dealing with the garden glut of aubergines this afternoon. Probably not the best move to have the oven on full for an hour. But I now have soy, sake and sesame oil braised aubergines for dinner (and lunch, and probably dinner again tomorrow)

The feels like temperature at the moment is 38ºC and it's not even 9.30AM. We've hit peak dankness.

I think I need to make another cup of tea to help cool me down.

At that point in making a new track where it sounds finished. I've played it to a friend and girlfriend and they both say it's good. But I've now listened to it for far too long so my imposter syndrome is telling me it's rubbish.

I wish there was a service you could upload new music to and get genuine quality feedback on it.

I know you all hate the emergency alert about disposable barbeques.

But yesterday I watched a man at our hotel breakfast set fire to a toaster by trying to toast a croissant - despite multiple signs telling him not to.

Today he tried again.

So, you know, calibrate for the average person.

Really enjoyed my most recent #interrail trip. The journey from Lyon, via Nimmes and along the Mediterranean coast to eventually end up in Barcelona (just in time for the eclipse) was the highlight. It was long as I travelled on mostly regional trains, but worth it for the stunning views. Would recommend.

Last two days of my #interrail booked! Return to leg to Barcelona via Paris and Lyon. I'm excited to travel on SNCF again, and hope it's not like the hell of DB.

Planning my next #Interrail leg to get home and wondering if there is really only 1 direct train a day from Lyon to Barcelona??

This seams a bit shit.

I rode from Berlin to Copenhagen and back again last week. Probably the best cycle trip in the World.

Denmark is an ace place to go bike riding.

Four hours of my life lost to delays and missed connections on Deutsche Bahn this week. Possibly the worst train service in the World

Firefox is back on Twitter. Mullvad’s founders are supporting right wing parties. Linus Torvalds is ranting about social justice warriors. DHH wants to deport non-whites from Europe.

Maybe too much screen time really does fry your brains.

2026 work update. Still looking for full time or part time work.

I fall neatly into the creative developer / design engineer category. I'm good at #html, #css and #js

I mainly work with #AstroJS, #CraftCMS, #Kirby and #Shopify. I don't use UI frameworks and take pride in a craft I’ve spent over 20 years learning.

Open to collaborating with companies and individuals to bring projects to life. It would be nice if you do work that gives good belly feels.
