Vacation

Slow days and walks and coding and tidying up my notes.

Fitness

Other than taking somewhat long walks, no systematic fitness activity and liberal eating. Drinking more beer than usual. Not very healthy living these days.

Study

Learning how to use git and rsync commands.

Music

Learning to play Canon in D in dropped D tuning: tutorial 1 and tutorial 2.

Listening to Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Desolation Row by Bob Dylan (on repeat).

Books

Reading Midnight Maxims by Dalrymple (2021), Assholes: A Theory by James (2014), The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Kashiwai (2024), The School of Life (Life & Botton, 2020) and The Architecture of Happiness (Botton, 2008)
