🥰 Full day at the beach, surfing, playing, running around. At pick up time, she asked to stay a little longer. I suggested another beach on the way back, one she loves, with a very nice spot for a light meal.

She agreed. It would take 15 mins to get there. She fell asleep as soon as we started driving, wind in her sweaty, sunblock-covered face. Woke up as soon as I parked at the new beach.

Got out, had an ice cream (the café was closed, it’s Monday). Dove into the ocean. Got out, covered herself with my sarong, and off she went, across the parking lot, to check a French license plate. Of course. She’s into numbers and letters, license plates are awesome. And we have a lot of foreign ones driving around.

Back on the road, she got a cup of sliced fruit from a gas station, and ate the whole thing while she told me every detail of her day. Road trips with her are always fun.

It is simply a collection of photos that I upload daily.

Yeah. But they’re really nice.
Make sure you check both links, as the two of them are great photographers.

🏊‍♀️ Old Skool Pool

Outdoor seaside swimming pool with bright blue water, surrounded by orange and stone walkways, black straw umbrellas, and a view of the ocean under a cloudy sky.

🏖️ Not a bad spot for her first surf lesson…

Sandy beach with scattered dark rocks, gentle waves, and surfers in the water, with green hills and cloudy skies in the background.

🥰 I kept getting recommendations for FreshRSS, when I dropped my longtime Feedbin account. I wanted to test it, but I’m really cutting down on subscriptions very aggressively, firing up an instance with PikaPods is out at this time.

Luckily the FreshRSS site links to a few people offering accounts on established servers. Some have a small donation attached to it, or the really nice pay-what-you-can-afford option. Others are free.

Turns out most of the free ones listed are not accepting new accounts, but there is one that still does! Arguably, the best one, as it has an awesome cherry on top: it’s a French gay server, so I get a rainbow on the FreshRSS logo!

Merci, Barbapulpe, for having so many great services available 🏳️‍🌈

🏄🏻 Ready!

🚌 7:20AM. Literally two of us on the bus, conductor comes in to check tickets. Rare sighting this early in the morning.

🏖️ Here we go. Up at 6AM, time to get the surf trip on the road.

I use “trip” lightly, since we’re coming back home every day.

🥔 A lot of things still make me sad.

🏄🏻‍♀️ Surf Camp starts tomorrow for the little one. Guess who’s spending a week at the beach, or close by?

I know it’s going to be depressing, sad to see this happening all over.

🚶🏻‍♂️ Walking in the other side of town. The Alamo came to mind.

🥖 You know you’re in good hands, when the bread basket looks like this, and it’s freshly baked on a Sunday.

😊 I used to call this corner, The Hong Kong Corner. Based entirely on movies. Then I visited, and, somehow, I still keep calling it the same thing.

Curved modern orange building on a sunny street corner surrounded by older colorful buildings with a clear blue sky above.

👚 I have one particular t-shirt, bought decades ago, that I can no longer wear in public. It’s been stuck in a drawer for a loooong time. tinyMovieStar used it today, as pajamas. She loved it.

🧠 Seems to be taking a little longer today. My brain is still stuck on “idle”, there is something wrong with the gear box.

Albania. Ivanka. Communism. Get rich quick schemes. Corruption. Flamingos. A whole country learning a foreign language to watch tv. History. Looting. EU. Jared. Kalashnikov. Dua Lipa. Politics.

It has it all!
