Spent a lovely long weekend in Germany visiting Sven, Nadine and their two boys. Very happy and surprised to have had snow; I love taking pictures in the snow.

Between work, and the sun setting at 3pm, I haven't been super motivated to take a lot of pictures the last couple of weeks. And I certainly haven't been motivated to yell them into the void.

In my quest for budget baller-dom, I have picked up a budget baller sweet spot Porsche. This is a Porsche that is old enough to be cheap, but not so old that it starts getting expensive again. It is really fun.

Very fortunate to have taken charge of a Fuji GFX100S. I have missed medium format since I sold my Mamiya 7, so this is a very welcome addition to my arsenal.

Full disclosure: the only thing I don't love about living by the sea is being scared that I'll destroy my camera getting a photo that wasn't worth it. I love the good weather, and the bad weather.

Feeling a bit sick of going to Brighton and seeing and doing the same things so we went to London for the day.

Dan wanted another HMKB but they didn't have beige so he went for grey. It's surprisingly difficult to match a keycap set with a grey case.

I got a nice new lens and I've been borrowing a cool camera, but I haven't had a lot of time to use either.

Tabitha has been at PGL this week, so Charlotte and I went to Rye and Hastings for a few days.

An eye for composition is something that leaves you if you don't use it.

Went back home to take my mum and aunt out for lunch to celebrate their very-much-deserved retirement. Nearly melted in our hotel room. Went to a beach, a car show, and had some ice cream.

I love this scene, and I really like my patch and pin badge. When I found out Adidas was making these Stan Smiths, and they actually looked good, I had to try and get a pair.

Tabitha and I went on the Flying Scotsman. I admired this train as a kid, and being able to see it up close, and ride on it was a weird dormant childhood dream to fulfil

I booked Monday off to recover from ArcTanGent, then forgot I'd done it and didn't realise until just before I left. Tabitha cycled; I skated.

It's another bullet point list. No point me typing this up again. I went in a camper this year, like a bougie jerk, and I am now spoiled. I will not camp as long as I have the choice - the whole weekend was so much better this year

Lawnmower racing has been a discovery in multiple acts. First we watched a random video on YouTube, then our friend nearly drove their mower into their pond, and then 5 miles from their house there was a 500 lap endurance race. This was all in less than a month. I like that.

It's not often that a restaurant is so good that I'll make a specific post about it but there y'go.

It was dry for 15 minutes so I wanted to go and fly my drone a bit. Unfortunately, the ants also wanted to fly and it was quite unpleasant.

Absolutely sick of the 512GB space limit on my Steam Deck so I grabbed a 2TB SSD for mine. The swap is pretty easy, but very nervewracking taking something like this apart.

Nice little getaway to Scotland. I had never been before, so we decided to spend a few days in Glasgow, then a few in Edinburgh.
