Finally made it to Europapark

Posted on October 19, 2021October 21, 2021 By admin

It was a very early morning, a longish drive to and from, and only involved à modicum of drama and arguments. We still managed to have a good day, overall.

For future reference, if we go again, this is what we did:

Switzerland Swiss Bob Run
Matterhorn Blitz
Austria Alpenexpress Coastiality
Tiroler Log Flume
Italy Ghost Castle
Volo Da Vinci
Scandinavia Fjord-Rafting
Vindjammer
Netherlands Pirates of Batavia

Gold medallist in losing shit

Posted on October 18, 2021October 21, 2021 By admin

With great skill and talent, the boy has managed to lose his wallet, with bus pass and debit/credit card. We are so not amused. We’ve turned the flat upside-down. I’ve scoured his room (and will probably need a tetanus booster). No luck. And, of course, it’s our fault for not having thought to put a GPS tracker on it.

I hate my life.

well, that’s a record….

Posted on October 13, 2021 By admin

I’ve just been through 3 days of advanced project management training through Webex. Super interesting, but I’m braindead. Also, for the past 3 days, my step count has struggled to go beyond 1000. Today is a record, at 412.

I need to go run.

Another song for the cry-list

Posted on October 6, 2021 By admin

As I’ve previously mentioned, certain (many) songs make me cry when I hear them, even if I’m in an otherwise good mood. It’s been known for years. So I’m going to keep a list of the ones I can remember from recent times:

Anywhere away from here – Rag’n’bone man and Pink
Bring him home & Finale – Les Miserables
Too much love will kill you & Love of my life – Queen
Your song – Elton John, covered by Lady Gaga
All of me – John Legend
Ave Maria – Marc Martel

15 years…

Posted on October 2, 2021October 3, 2021 By admin

Katy and I took an apero lake cruise to celebrate our 15th anniversary. Boarding and service were a bit shambolic but then we managed to snag a pair of deck chairs on the aft deck and enjoy the view with a nice bottle of wine.

Quote of the day

It is a fact that although the Death of the Discworld is, in his own words, an ANTHROPOMORPHIC PERSONIFICATION, he long ago gave up using the traditional skeletal horses, because of the bother of having to stop all the time to wire bits back on.
--(Terry Pratchett, Mort)
