Well, that's a major downer. Was scheduled to go out with the local Bromptonauts for a tour of the city's obelisks, went to top up the tyres, discovered the back wheel had a puncture. In a mad rush, because of course I had left checking too late, I took it apart, fixed the hole with a quick patch, pumped it up and discovered I had failed to fix the hole.
So, excursion abandoned, and I am peeved at myself for waiting till the last minute to prepare.
Last week, I received a nice comment about my little 35mm Focal Length
Equivalents site (short: FLE). And that was enough motivation to improve
the site. I still had - and still have - ideas to improve the site, and so
I spent some hours to make it a little better.
Group outing on Sunday with FIAB Ruotalibera, from Cesano di Roma station to Parco Leonardo station. Perfect day for it, sunny but not too hot, although the technology let me down.
This is pretty interesting. Maybe I can use it to play around with my old Macbook Air and learn some new stuff too.

“A [17-month] Girl Nearly Died After Drinking Raw Milk.”
Sure, as a grown-up feel free to make your own decisions about your health. But should you really inflict them on people who aren't (yet) equipped to decide for themselves.

Visiting the Kunstpalast, "Deine Freunde" concert, beer and bike riding at Frankeninferno, a work trip to Belgium, and school singing at the Tonhalle. (66 photos)
I think I went a bit overboard in trying to distill a theme from cassava, chestnuts, rice, food names, and — abandoning the theme — fruit breeding. But they are all there in the latest Eat This Newsletter.

It’s a space movie. I like space movies. But this is not the best of its genre IMHO. I can’t complain about how it’s made, really. I definitely enjoyed the acting and most of the visuals and sets.
Rocky is very cute and I like how their friendship develops. I found the flashbacks on Earth were a bit too silly. And this could have been shorter. So, this is definitely more on the “light entertainment” side of space movies. I guess I generally prefer my space movies more doomy and gloomy instead.
But was ok overall.
