    The plan for Monday was to do more tourist stuff, but was hampered by rain. Part of the Monday plan had been to go up the tower, but … I already know what clouds look like, and while the rain wasn’t bad enough that being outside was terrible, it did mean that inside options were…

    Yes, I had currywurst again.Don’t make this weird. The hotel room came with a drink voucher for some reason (because they don’t have a bar?) so something claiming to be local seemed like the way to go. Oh, and I took a picture which I’m pretty sure every tourist ever has taken.

    A day, or at least some of a day, of being a tourist in Berlin. This one’s mostly photos. Slept … Badly, but also slept in a bit, which made up for it. The hotel has a push-button pancake making machine, which I didn’t notice at first, so I’ll try it out tomorrow. Because pancakes.…

    This story properly starts yesterday, at a leaving ‘do for someone at work. Just one drink turned into more than one, and then another pub. No big deal; I travel light, so packing takes very little time. Then someone found themselves stranded, because their intended place to stay fell through, so the lounge at ‘my’…

    In hindsight, going straight back to work the day after I got into the UK was what might be described as “A Mistake”.Kind of wiped me out on the blogging/summarising front, though it did lead to a hilarious situation when I edited the Big Red Couch episode we recorded that weekend, and had no memory…

    The so-called Con Crud, that low grade illness that so often happens after a convention, arrived early, I’m assuming because of time zone confusion. Or just a lot of air travel and airports. It seems to be, as it were, buggering off, but I’m still a bit wiped, and was getting an amount of “You…

    I’d intended to do my standard “blog all of the things until people are totally sick of the sound of your typing” thing for this trip, but as it turned out, I didn’t. Oddly, the reason wasn’t laziness, or at least wasn’t all laziness; I found it difficult to think of the Auckland & Wellington…

    Nymphadora made sure to tell me, as I left this morning, how much she would miss me.And my ability to open food sachets. I actually got some work done, fixing some code I’d written, then documenting the damn thing while I still remembered what the requirements were.Also discovered that our version control system had decided…

    To be honest, this is mostly a post so that I can try linking images from Instagram into CraigBlog. Just so you know. A group from work made the arduous journey to Haddenham for the beer festival. Naturally, we did brunch first. The setup is a big sun-baked field, with a stage where bands¹ did…

    This holiday, because I’m doing a round-trip through NZ, gives me a chance to get some stuff from storage & bring it to the UK. More importantly, curated stuff; I’m sure it’d be possible to get everything moved, but that’s not much use until & unless there’s a place to move it to. All of which…
