20230930 ======== 11:00 ----- I was on a medieval castle several days ago. Yesterday I was watching photos I've taken there. On the one photo there is a tower entry. The size approximately for a bigger person in width and height, maybe a warrior in full metal armor that time. Entry is located on the base of the tower, formed with a big stone arc. The place where is the entry is in the thick part of a wall. It probably caused that the arc is original and it has never been destroyed through past seven centuries. I've been thinking about that. How many people passed that doors throughout the time? 12:00 ----- It's raining. Sky is dark and gray. It's probably a real start of Summer end. 17:00 ----- We are watching a documentary film about the Earth creation to answer the question how the Earth was created. Regardless, today I came across an interesting illustration [1] Periodic table indicating the origin of the element. [1] https://wizzzard.online/@starwall/111141247763939681 20230929 ======== 10:40 ----- I've run 'wc -w *' command on my Personal Soap Opera Phlog and it's 6486 words. They said on the Internet that's it's around 20 pages of 12 point Arial font. So it's the small book of mine. *** I've read on Matto's Phlog about /43 of the Most Iconic Short Stories in the English/ for train travelers. Before I had a child I had been always traveling with a book or a magazine. One day I accidentally started reading Proust and In Search of Lost Time. This is a good book for a leisurely train journey. Now I have too much to do at the moment to be able to read something in peace. 16:00 ----- My child asked so called AI, humanized as a robot with a microphone and a voice synthesizer. The first question not suggested by anyone in terms of theme or form: -- How many people in the world are laughing right now? AI responded somehow. My child was delighted. 20230928 ======== 16:00 ----- I watched the video about Tokyo subway cleaners [1]. There was the joke about Polish railway in the 90's and their cleaning procedure: -- Every wagon is cleaned and all dirt from today, current week and passing months is carefully removed. If dirt remained, it must have been dirt older than a year. Today's situation is a much better and the rolling stock from 70's-80's was changed for modern one. But I was shocked seeing the Tokyo subway short after a rush hour. Wagons were clean with bright yellow upholstery illuminated by bright light like in a shop window. The only dirt in the wagon was a lost white shirt cuff button with a piece of white thread. There were also older subway lines and older wagons but I am thinking that mentioned video isn't exaggerated in no way. That procedure can't be implemented in any other country than Japan. [1] https://youtu.be/L90CpRdjMJU 17:30 ----- Continuing about cleanliness. *** I was surprised several times by the response of people from abroad visiting Poland, that what caught their eyes was that Poland was very clean. I don't think Poles think so and it seems to them that it is not so. Although since I started paying attention to it, I think that public spaces in Poland are often well-kept. Even though there are always exceptions to the rule. I am often mentioning my abroad trip to the one of so called third world country (not in Europe). It was touristic trip by a coach through a whole country. We had a stop for some shopping and people were getting out to a street. There were garbages all around, with a quite big paint can laying on a lawn. I was observing while one person put the can on the base and put some crumpled paper into it. Every next person treated the can as an official garbage can despite it was in the center of untidy and cluttered space. -- Europeans - I thought. *** But there are always two sides of the story. It's possible to meet homeless people in Poland whose odor is so intensive that it's hard to bear by a normal people. They are like medieval European people presented in Shogun novel by James Clavell, who refused to be washed, considering it harmful to their health. Tokyo homeless people which I saw were laying on a literally white blankets and were clean. Tokyo subway in a rush hours is smelling soapy and bath smells. It's not possible in Poland and other European countries I've visited. 20230927 ======== 14:00 ----- I ate a dinner in a train. There was a special restaurant wagon with a cashier at desk and a cook in a kitchen. They were offering a menu with 10-20 dishes. Several breakfast options, soups, second dishes and drinks. Prices are not so high to totally avoid eating there. Food isn't so bad either. There are many not-in-a-train places where it's possible to get worse food. I was rather fine after I had gotten my choice. In such places the most important ingredient is unique experience connected with them. So we are eating in quite big interior, lighted by big windows, and behind them passing landscapes with speed around 150km/h. Despite it isn't five star restaurant, and ordered coffee would be more than awful, there is the feeling of luxury in some way. I had the similar feeling years ago while flying on a intercontinental flight in economic class. I hadn't been eating European breakfast for two weeks and they served small wheat roll, with a small butter and some sausage (which I'd never touched in a normal condition). I was eating that with a great relish. While eating I was looking through a plane window. The plane was flying over snow peaks. On the plane entertainment system I read the speed and altitude - 10 000 meters above the ground. This several seconds while I was biting the roll was also the same feeling like being a first class passenger. 20230926 ======== 15:00 ----- I've eat dinner in a /bar mleczny/. It's the institution which could not exist outside Poland. It's one of relics from the Poland under Soviet influence era. It's a place where you can order food from a certain group of products. The name could be translated as milk bar so many positions of a menu are milk recipes like pancakes, dumplings, and other milk, flour, white cheese, or cream ingredients ones. There are also soups like tomato soup with noodles and others. There are many only local dishes like /pierogi ruskie/. But there are also meat dishes like breaded pork chop, or minced cutlet. The base idea is to eat fast and cheap. Dishes aren't very sophisticated but they should be tasty and fresh like eating at home. The overall experience of eating in a /bar mleczny/ is far from eating at home. Cashier gets an order and collects the money. Cook is serving a dish from big pots. There are no waiters and customer must do everything on their own, and the empty plates must be returned to a special window in a wall. In the oldest places like that we can feel like being in a factory canteen in past times. My today's experience was tuned up by a cashier who is acting like the pre-capitalist era. Customer is the payer and they have the money but there isn't a place for any kindness or marketing. Smile isn't face of our business - she could be yelling out. Inside there were about 10-20 people but everything was on an official level with a proper amount of roughness. I ate tasty dinner and I was soaking up the atmosphere. There aren't many places like that. The old school /bar mleczny/ like in a Polish comedy [1]. [1] https://youtu.be/sHbDQUlD25E?si=exkGYypCGnXOManN 20230925 ======== 19:50 ----- People said that populist party which won last election in Poland encouraged people to be depended on social programs. That they don't want to work because they are getting enough money on unemployment without any effort. There are many memes on the Internet. Today I've spotted people that probably do their lives in such way. I didn't expect that I could meet them in a train. They were traveling with a one year old baby. So I had a smile on my mouth when I was looking at the baby. And I was frightened when I was cropping a picture of a whole family. They not only looked like people without money but they were wearing dirty clothes (not clean but worn or modest clothing) and they lacked a standard hygiene. In a simple word they were spreading an unpleasant smell. It wasn't that they seemed to be bad parents. Child was looking much better than they were. But I can't imagine how they could work. I don't know how big gap is to catch up by their child to be with a possibilities of an average child from other family. And for sure the social programs in their situation didn't work. 20230924 ======== 19:20 ----- Internet was flooded by masses of people who aren't aware of its delicate shape and they ruined it. One of names for that multidimensional process is Eternal September [1]. In the real life there are similar examples. One of that is a mountain trail trekkers culture created when mountains were less accessible. Today's mountains are trampled by people dressed in gold flip-flops and Dolce Gabbana T-shirt. I am not a hardcore mountain trekker but I know several old customs. - Mountains are beautiful but dangerous so you must be well prepared. Warm and waterproof jacket even is a warm sunny weather on the bottom. - Reserves of food and water - Be prepared with many trail possibilities and be equipped with a map - People on a real mountain trail greeting each other - Mountain shelters provide free hot water (for food preparation) - Mountain shelters offer possibility to do a ink stamp, each shelter has own stamp design, it is possible to obtain the tourist badge for stamp series I haven't been thinking that this knowledge is something unique or important. But I'm observing that many people aren't aware even that. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September 20230923 ======== 11:40 ----- I ordered an espresso. People in a line before me also did so but they chose to go version. They got their paper cups and plastic covers. While at the same moment I got a ceramic white cup and a small glass of water. I have some sort of ceramic oddity. The same drink or food which will be served in a proper ceramic tableware in my opinion will be tastier. So I like porcelain cups, small dessert plates, spoons, forks and so on. I like to be in hotel for a breakfast where everything is served in the traditional way. I don't like an espresso in a paper cup. It's ruining my all imaginations about coffee. It's similar with tea. And it's covering also alcoholic beverages - wine without a proper glass, but only halfway a beer. Sometimes I observed that my oddity is expanding. Probably after pandemic clean hands awareness I am preferring to eat burgers with a knife and a fork. I am good at this competition even with a tall burger. Last but not least I got to know not so far ago that there is a difference with eating by forks and knifes among people in Europe and in USA. It's a totally different technique and in Europe we are using more a knife to cut and move a food pieces to a fork instead a fork to stuff. I was observing that American technique of eating once and I had thought that it's something local for that certain people. Then I've read about that more global difference. 20230922 ======== 15:00 ----- My son ate a breaded pork chop with bone in for the first time in a restaurant today. It is believed that bone-in cutlet is better, but in my house it is never served this way. -- I want to see a bone - he said. He was thinking that it will be a bone shape as in cartoon. He was a bit disappointed that the bone wasn't like that. -- Is it a bone of a dinosaur? - he try to organize all his knowledge about bones. Man sitting the table near us was smiling to himself. 17:30 ----- I've didn't note that yesterday we made almost 12km on foot. Today it was only 9km because it started raining in the afternoon. Those two days in my app was counted as almost 100 floors (3 meters for each floor). I bought a map. In nowadays we are using a mobile app for mapping. But it's a good solution to do so in a city. On a mountain trail, you need a real paper map. Even when we're not going to Mount Everest. 20230921 ======== 18:40 ----- We are climbing /Sniezka/ mountain today. It's the highest peak of /Karkonosze/ mountains raising 1602 meters above the sea level. The good side for child trekkers is that there is a lift to the upper part of the mountain - /Kopa/ with 1377 meters above the sea level. So it isn't so hard but it isn't to easy. And the peak of such heights is always impressive. It's about 1 hour higher mountain trekking to get second peak. I was regretting that I wasn't climbing mountains through the last several years. It was always something else to do. Autumn mountains are beautiful. 20:30 ----- I've exchanged e-mails with my reader about my first month anniversary of everyday writing here. It isn't easy to write every day. It's need to think about it and plan a certain moment for that. It would be difficult for me to sit next to full keyboard computer every time to do so. And my mobile workflow made that easier. So I'm typing every entry on my mobile. Sometimes they are several separate thoughts and actions. While I'm driving a subway. Or while I'm waiting for something. Then I'm publishing whole day in the evening. I'm working on iOS with /Blink.sh/ - seamless integration system file manager with SSH and public key mechanisms and /Drafts/ for editing text files. If the world were normal, iOS would have a built-in text file editor and integration with SSH via public key. 20230920 ======== 20:00 ----- I'm still traveling. Today I'm in Polish mountains called /Karkonosze/. I was surprised that the name in English is translated also as /Giant Mountains/, there isn't any connection with "giant" in Polish name. I was visiting /Jelenia Gora/ town. It was my second time here but there must changed a lot in last years. It isn't big city with only about 80 000 inhabitants but it's still full of people outdoors. There are many shops, cafes, restaurants. Sun is always beautiful in September so there were many postcard views. It isn't so polished as towns in Alps because this region is much more poor. But it seems to be good managed and could be interesting alternative to the most famous places in Austria or Switzerland. The only thing which I was regret today was an espresso which I've ordered in coffee shop. I'm used to a real Italian style espresso. There are many hipster coffee shops in big cities which are serving that kind of drink. It's prepared the same an in the south Europe and with most quality beans. So today I've drink something like an Americana coffee in a small cup. 20230919 ======== 20:30 ----- We made around 10km with our child. With getting to the top of the tower (20 floors). I always like to walk so it's made me happy that he is also like walking. Tomorrow it will be first month of everyday writing here. It's probably not very seen in the Gophersphere. It's hard to say if someone reading this. It was also a something new for me. I never wrote as many personal things on the net. 20230918 ======== 9:00 ---- I'm on a train station. 14:00 ----- There are more and more new train wagons here. Everything is clean and comfortable. Air conditioning is the new standard. You are able to buy a ticket in a mobile app by ApplePay. You are able to trace any train to check any disturbances. Years ago trains didn't have water in dirty or devastated toilets. The only thing which is changing very slowly is the speed of travel. There are lines which are faster than any car on the same route on a motorway and which are taking less time than whole travel by plane. But there are also lines where average speed is lower than 80-100km/h and travel could take the same time as intercontinental flight from Europe to New York. 20230917 ======== 14:00 ----- I will be traveling tomorrow. The thing which I don't like the most is packing. I was on such escapades so many times that I have the list what to pack on an average trip. Despite that i still don't like packing. 15:00 ----- I've forgot to write about yesterday SNES afternoon. My son asked to play Super Bomberman 4. The game had made him upset 1-2 weeks ago because was too complicated. We were playing cooperative two players. In the game is needed to plan next moves and be quick enough to evade opponents. But yesterday he said that he want to learn how to play. He was calm after each mistake and was playing better and better each time. I've observed for the first time the will to fight the next level. The last play was announced as "If we won't be able to win that time we will pause.". The fully professional computer player. 17:40 ----- Third in a row weekend with city river beaching. Autumn is consequently coming so it could be one of the last times for that. 18:15 ----- Today's my son's questions: - Are the people animals? - How we are built the Earth? (It's probably connected with getting to know that the Death Star from Star Wars was built by people.) - Who will live in our home while we will be living in rented apartment? (It's probably the assumption that everyone has only one home.). 20230916 -------- 19:50 ----- I went to bed after midnight yesterday. I fell asleep about one hour later. I was sleeping good but I was awake by an insect. I had planned go back home before noon so I ate breakfast before eight. I was thinking that it was enough sleep for me and I hadn't drink to much alcohol on a dinner but today was spent on a lower gear. I've read an article in a newspaper about people after their forty. There were all well known facts about changed metabolism and about proper amount of sleep. I will try to organize it better tonight. 20230915 ======== 7:40 ---- My son has given me a sticker with Yoda and a lightsaber. He's ordered me to give it to my colleague in my office. 12:00 ----- I'm on a journey. It's about 150km by a car. 23:00 ----- I've realized that I'm on a area with low availability of cellular signal. There were many attractions so I didn't look at my mobile to now. I've done many more steps so my fitness app showed almost 300% daily average. 20230914 ======== 7:40 ---- The heat of the yesterday had solved in the evening. There was a long storm with beautiful lightnings. Almost without a rain and today weather is more comfortable for people. 19:40 ----- I've been working longer than usual. During return I was thinking about bus choosing decision process. There were three buses of different lines but covering my desired destination. The first was crowded. In a distance I saw a second one which is an accelerated line (doesn't stop on all bus stops). I've decided to wait. And then arrived also the third one which is an express line. It was almost empty with chilly temperature inside. It easily overtook all buses. It was probably several minutes time gain. But overall satisfaction was like being first in a formula 1 race. 20230913 ======== 19:45 ----- I'm sitting on a sofa. While ago I've been on a 5km walk around a park. Despite I had been thinking that yesterday day be hot like on the Metavira island, today was a much hotter. I was working from the home office with a floor fan working all day. Today is also a special day said to be the Programmer or Developer day. Our company organized pizzas for the lunch for all people. What are programmers talking about on their day? About AI which would, or wouldn't, make them unemployed in several years, decades, or never. I am feeling that all that buzz around AI is a next bubble. Something is on the way, but many things are only a creative projection. I was frightened when people are saying that ChatGPT made a perfect memo from a teleconference meeting for them. They are putting a full transcript of meeting and are happy from several paragraphs of text which is pretending to be a memo. I was always thinking that a memo should be an organized and planned thing to fulfill its goals to be a roadmap for next actions. So I will be facing fake memos in the future. Or it's only an old man grumblings. 20230912 ======== 7:35 ---- Anybody who was playing Jagged Alliance 1 computer game will probably recognize it. - "It will be very hot day" Elio says. Yesterday in the afternoon was like on a Metavira island. 18:30 ----- Late afternoon was spent painting the clay sculpture made on Sunday. At the end I've realized that clay building and painting it's also a lot of fun for me. 19:30 ----- I'm the small-cult follower but in moments of sin I'm watching every Apple Special Events. So I'm watching it also today. There are always much of "amazings". I've thought about their ecological way of doing business. They started calling themselves as green so those was so frothiness at that time. But today they advertised themselves as "our devices keep the value for the longest time" and with exchange old devices for a new one with a hundreds dollar discount. It's smart way to make prices acting in the opposite way. Cheaper devices are tend to be single use and resource wasting. We will see what will happen in the real world. 20230911 ======== 7:50 ---- Two men, both around 60 years old, were on a bus near the USA embassy. - Is there the USA embassy? - Asked the first one. - I don't know. I'm not interested in politics. I don't watch TV news. - Responded the second one. The US embassy has been in the same location for many years. I didn’t expect anyone to be unfamiliar with it. Today is September 11th. YouTube has been showing me videos about the WTC for several days. There isn't any news about what happened 22 years ago, but people still remember it. I can clearly recall the moment I first learned about the first plane hitting the building. 18:00 ----- I was on a bus when I spotted the ticket inspectors. They were waiting at a bus stop, trying to blend in with the other passengers. I don't know why, but they always seemed to stand out in such situations. Two large men were attempting to fit in on the opposite side of the bus stop, looking in different directions as if they were characters in a cartoon. Then, like secret agents, they scanned all the people, trying to guess who didn't have a valid ticket. So many people without tickets had enough time to leave the bus. I observed two women with a wheelchair who suspiciously waited until the very last moment to disembark. I must have appeared to be the last person without a ticket, as I was checked at the very last second. Just before me, they caught a young man who had been on the phone, loudly discussing a job position that their mutual friend had just informed them about – a seemingly impossible fact. Either there are so many people without tickets that they always catch someone, or they aren't as inconspicuous as I think. *** I want to share an experience I had in Vienna several years ago regarding ticket control. The ticket inspectors had a different approach; they were highly visible in their orange vests. At one point, they blocked every entry and stairway at a large metro station. Accustomed to operating discreetly, I found their display of power amusing at that moment. Fortunately, I had a valid ticket with me at the time. 20230910 ======== 10:30 ----- And now something totally different. I've started Sunday playing with my child with a clay. We made a castle. Hands were red from the clay and needed washing. It was of course a high risk of moving red color through the all bathroom. Finally everything was fine. Now the sculpture is drying on the sun. 15:15 ----- I've finally connected to the #phloggersgarage IRC channel. I added my phlog to the list. 17:30 ----- It's almost 2km on foot. We are at river beach again. Sun is lowering and surrounding is full of orange shades. On the river many boats are passing near us. 19:00 ----- I crossed the river using a ferry. Two members of the crew were on board, in sailor like outfit, and they consistently played loud music. Today, it was something known as "Italian disco" in Poland, which is quite popular at all wedding parties among people in their forties. However, at an actual wedding in Italy, Italians mentioned that this type of music was embarrassing for them. Customs differ from one place to another. 20:10 ----- Today Polish national football team is playing a match. It will be broadcast in TV. For some reason Poles are thinking that football is a national sport. But we are always losing at the most unpredictable moments. Sport specialists are explaining the reasons. The coach is changing. And the story is repeating. Simultaneously Poles are the best team in the volleyball. But for the unknown reason volleyball is less prestigious than football in Poland. 20230909 ======== 13:15 ----- We've went through the city for more than 2,5km. I was on my foot. He rode on a small scooter. The journey passed in the best atmosphere without any turbulences. Now we are a one of largest park in the city. There is a playground here. In a tree shadow is very comfortable. Outside the park was too hot and humid. 13:40 ----- We've visited a poster exhibition. It's always interesting to meet the art. 15:00 ----- It's almost 6km on the foot. 16:00 ----- I am able to look at trees tops from my windows. It's a distant city landscape. I realized today that Autumn is coming. Several trees are in the shades of yellow. Forming green with a bit of yellow spheres in the line of totally green trees tops. Every day from now there will be less green color there. Less expressive shapes. More yellow, red and brown. Finally colorless blobs and branches. I've been amazed how Japanese are living inside the nature around them. And how they observe every change. They are preparing a special parts of city parks with plants for example forming one color during bloom or during Autumn. It's helping people to observe the changes. Because in the certain moments the nature will made a more significant thing. And it's easier to wait for that certain moment every year. With more developed sensitivity of nature people in Japan are probably aware of things which aren't noticed for the most of us. 20:00 ----- I've been contemplating which beer style to choose for tonight. My favorite IPA is always a solid choice, but I've been tempted by the Baltic Porter lately. It's a stronger style, but I enjoy its chocolate and cherry flavors. It's important to note that there are no actual chocolate or cherries added to the beer; I prefer to stick to the original recipe without any artificial additions. Of course, there are styles where such additions are the foundation, but that's not my preference. 20230908 ======== 8:00 ---- I've stepped about 130 steps of outdoor staircase. I've been looking how to describe a staircase which isn't located inside of building in English. 13:00 ----- My wife was stung by a wasp. Pharmacist said that it's common in last days. There was a woman with seriously swollen hand for medicines. My wife fortunately isn't in so bad condition. 18:00 ----- It's almost 200% of my planned activity for today. It's good when such information motivates us. However, some people are said to be somewhat obsessed with measuring these measurements. 20230907 ======== 7:30 ---- I'm waiting at a bus stop. It will be 25 Celsius degrees but now it's chilly. 14:00 ----- I'm after two meetings with clients. Another tough day. 18:00 ----- I watched a YouTube video about USA and driving license. They said that only the most poor people don't have a car and don't drive it. A bus travel is always a difficult thing because there are no many bus lines and all bus system isn't enough developed to make possible for efficient travel by it. And of course it isn't safe to travel by bus because of other (poor) travelers and the overall comfort is low. So, it could be seen by people, who reading this and they are from other countries, that I'm crazy because I'm traveling by bus every day. But fortunately traveling by bus in Poland it's a different thing. In the biggest cities there are plenty of new buses with air conditioning. Bus system is covering many city's districts. On my usual route there are several lines every 5-10 minutes. It isn't always like in a private limousine but it is comfortable. Sometimes people don't appreciate the things they are used to. 20230906 ======== 7:50 ---- It's two weeks of everyday phlogging. The next day is beginning. 18:30 ----- Today's questions asked by my four old year child: - If Santa Claus must pay for presents given on the Christmas Eve? - How water was made? - What is a fire? - How the first human was created? It must be connected with his yesterday 5 minutes non-stop speech about magnetic field and magnets, what was showed to him on a science show in the kindergarten. 20230905 ======== 16:30 I had been working from home for almost 2 years. Then I've switched to working from office for several months . It wasn't easy because my commute time is more than 30-40 minutes in the morning and the same in the afternoon. The first thought was that it's a big waste of time. But today I was working from home again. I can't do it in a proper way. It's late afternoon and I was mainly sitting at the desk. Maybe I did more tasks (it's sort of a "home office rage"?) but my work-life balance was violated. The same time during office day I have done about 5000 steps. I have been on a lunch outside. I have chatted several persons face to face. Instead of that I've ordered food to go and I've been staring at the screen during tele conference. 18:30 ----- And now I have almost 8 000 steps on a counter. 20240904 ======== 7:40 ---- Mornings are chilly now. 13:00 ----- I felt relaxed in the morning. Now I feel overworked. Review of the team priorities for the upcoming week. Several e-mails about matters in projects. Overdue analytical task for a client. And a recruitment meeting. 18:30 ----- I'm reading about the Interstellar Meteor 1 (IM1). Someone gave 1,5 million dollars donation to scan bottom of the ocean with a magnet and attract 1mm metal balls, the remains of IM1 detected in 2014 [1]. This story is interesting as the 'Oumuamua, so called 1I/2017, the first interstellar object passing the Solar system detected in 2017 [2]. But the 'Oumuamua was too far and too fast to obtain any further details. People said it could be a probing tool scanning our system. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNEOS_2014-01-08 [2] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ʻOumuamua 20230903 ======== 10:50 ----- I've printed several coloring pages of Star Wars. There are many spaceships here. I'm sitting on a sofa now and I'm looking at my child who is drawing. He preferred to draw a new sketch instead of coloring. 14:45 ----- It's time for a second espresso. I've experimented with many ways of making coffee. I like visiting coffeehouses. In my home I'm using the Bialetti coffee pot and a manual grinder. 15:55 ----- I'm on a city river beach. There are public sunloungers, even a special smaller one for children. City provided also a free of charge ferries for people to travel between riversides. Several years ago there wasn't any of that. There is still a smell of summer here. 20230902 ======== 11:15 ----- I've ordered color pencils, plasticine and other for kindergarten. 17:00 ----- I'm the kitchen chief today. Spaghetti with tomato sauce and Grana Padano cheese. I like a bit more of garlic. The key of good result is /al dente/ pasta and good olive oil. I'm buying oil and cheese always original brands from Italy. It's worth to say that it's the best season for tomatoes now. 19:40 ----- As a lullaby again - Star Wars theme performed by philharmonic orchestra. 21:20 ----- It's always a good idea to rewatch /The Sopranos/ series. 20230901 ======== 7:50 ---- Yesterday was the National Blog Day (stylized as 3l0g Day). There isn't much of progress in that area in my case in past year. I was posting more in Tinylog or Phlog rather than ordinary Blog. There aren't many new subscriptions in my RSS aggregator. 17:50 ----- I'm sitting on a sofa with my child. He is watching a cartoon. I listened his news from a kindergarten. He enjoyed the first day in the new school year. Now I'm thinking about weekend. I'm chilling an IPA bottle for late evening. It's my favorite brand "Misty" brewed by /Trzech Kumpli/ (it could be translated as "three buddies"): https://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Beer/Beer-Ratings.asp?BeerID=480975 I like IPA and especially NEIPA style. "Misty" is ranked as fitting the style. And it's simply a good beer. I'm hoping that it's available worldwide, because it's worth it. 20:30 ----- And now for something completely different. Symphonic version of Star Wars The New Hope version performed by Wiener Philharmonikier. Music video on Apple Music.
