Notes from a bemused canuck
We ordered some wine from Enoteca Capponi, one of our favourite Divinum exhibitors. When they came to deliver our order, we had the added lovely surprise of having won a magnum from their daily raffle, and they gave us a limoncello Colomba di Pasqua!. This, on top of two cases of very nice wine, will fill our bellies and raise our spirits for a while.
Bobble is taking full advantage of the new remote-work policy to work from Tim Hortons, in Leicester.
Lovely walk with a lovely dog on a lovely day. It’ll all go downhill from here…
We’ve had her a week already, and have her until Saturday. The cats are getting bold now :) As always, she’s good for my mental health, but she’s getting to be an older lady and I worry about that leg…
Divinum is done for another year. I volunteered for all 6 nights, schlepping and washing the ~2500 glasses multiple times over. Ben came to help. Katy came to drink. So did I, but I paid for my supper with 6 days of 15K-20K steps. Saw a bunch of familiar faces, some new ones. Was fun. Tired now.
Yes, yes, I know smoking = bad, but I only now ever indulge very, very infrequently. This was a quiet moment during Divinum, when the machines were idle, and the music was loud.

Colin and I achieved red-hot metal without explosion or immolation. This is a win in our books. Going to start trying again to make a fully fledged knife.
The Swiss military is doing formation flying drills over the lake this morning. They’ve been buzzing over the EPFL campus for the last 20 minutes or so. Damn, they’re fast! They’re almost already out of frame as soon as I have the reflex to press the shutter button. And the noise is impressive!
