Kleingarten, as always. The last tomatoes. My neighbour gave me a jar of plum jam. No laptop, no Slack, no network. 🍅

70 km on the bike along the Vecht. No laptop. One flat tyre. Lekker.

Leigh Woods and a pint on the harbourside. the grid was under 60 g/kWh all weekend, wind everywhere, which I mention purely because I'm a nerd

Central Park, a book, a bench and no notifications for four hours. Book number 31 this year. Proud of you for taking the weekend, Aoife. The job hunt is a marathon, not a sprint.

Tomatoes are in. Two weeks early, which my wife says is reckless. The laptop stayed inside. Cheers, G.
