Warm gusts passing through blackberry bushes on the shoreline carry with them that distractingly sweet summer smell inside the companionway, making it difficult not to want to be out there, either cycling or skating.
Whenever we're not busy playing outside, doing errands or stuffing our faces with wild plums, I spend some of my time translating the lesser known Solresol documents, more specifically Joséphine Sudre's Théorie & Pratique, and incorporating the different families and categories to the En-Sr Translator.
- Released Permacomputing 101 talk.
- Optimized Uxn11's screen drawing.
- Incorporated families and categories to Solrela.
- Enjoyed diving back into Middlemarch.

Almost on holiday!
I am in Poland, loving the cooler Summer here. I have a flight booked for the middle of August, but first, my holidays will be coming up!. I am looking forward to be a turist, rest and recovery.
I finished reading “The Maniac” by Benjamín Labatut. I have moved on to a classic: "Thinking, fast and slow" by Daniel Kahneman.
I've been writing a new sci-fi story! It's not my usual style, or my usual setting, but still better than nothing. Even if it goes nowhere in the end. Though I keep coming up with ideas, so who knows. To think it all started with a joke post on Mastodon.
(Spoiler: it didn't go anywhere after all. Oh well.)
Anyway, until then, there have been more heatwaves. The current one is pretty bad, but about to end. Been slowly chipping away at chores and errands regardless. Trying to update my personal wiki a little, too. Just enough to let people know it's not completely abandoned yet. Oh, and my link-directory wiki has inspired someone to make something similar! Recognition is always a good feeling.
Can't believe this year is more than half over already. Summer is always too short. At least I got to go on my yearly trip to visit relatives and change the air for a few days.
This July I'm finally getting rid of some old cruft from the website. Not sure what will replace all that stuff. Maybe some art; all my other sites have art sections now. But first I have to up my game and make more of it.
The cicadas are done for the summer; cricket season has started. Too bad I can only hear them with one ear. The other one works fine, except for high frequencies.
Oh yeah, a new heatwave just started. That's, what, the third in less than six weeks? Either way, this one's bad. It broke all records elsewhere, almost did here, and is set to continue in some places. Comparing notes with friends in distant lands is surreal.
Last but not least, I'm finally done going to the dentist for this year. Never mind the expense, it's been a very stressful July just when I really didn't need that.
