I tested the new “bike” path that goes to Luminy and I fully understand why many cyclists still use the road – it’s decent enough for running (although the entrance in Luminy is awkwardly placed when coming from the calanques) but not so nice for road cycling training.
The weather (and temperatures) have also been quite wild in Marseille this year – loads of rain right now but very warm back in October, the poor plants didn’t know what was happening, blooming out of season!
Help. I’ve fallen into the rabbit hole that are Minecraft quest modpacks. Good thing that only really happens every eighteen months and lasts a week or two.
Bought the first part needed for making homemade holiday cards. Now I just need stickers, tons of stickers!
I gave in and got a gym membership, mainly because I have three gyms in a 400m radius around my house. The one I chose has a nice “women’s gym” that’s quite nice and quiet in the early hours when I usually go (the general gym floor is also quite quiet but it feels less cosy)… and now I’ve googled strength exercises for runners. What in the world is happening? How long till I hate all gyms again?
I got super excited about getting a new perfect IV critter in Pokemon Go yesterday. I wish I could go back in time and tell my 12-13 year old self that 30-something year old me was going to be awesome and have all the right priorities. Always celebrate the small things in life!
I’m putting off going for today’s 8km run by post-processing photos and scheduling posts. Maintaining a running streak is all fun and games but then you realise that there are still a couple of months of the sun only appearing every couple of weeks because of short daylight hours and general cloudiness. The summer always makes me forget what’s to come!
Sometimes I think I’m abusing the “hold” system for our library system by always having holds on about ten books (some of which I will most likely not get for another 3 years because there are 245 people in front of me in the queue for 5 copies) but then I remember that we’re allowed up to 100 holds at once… so clearly I am not the worst offender.
Back in Helsinki, the autumn colours were still around – it’s been quite an incredible year in terms of weather, hasn’t it? Now if the snow could just come already…
I went back home through Nagoya where we had about an hour of delay, but hey, at least the plane was mostly empty!
This is the last time I’ll complain about this new WP editor, I promise. But gosh, scheduling and editing stuff cannot be done easily using this! Everything that used to require one or two clicks now has to be done using multiple (and you can’t easily be reminded of things, such as if you’ve already scheduled posts for a specific day). On top of that, the editor runs so slowly on my mac, granted it’s from 2013 so a fossil by some standards but it still runs stuff like Photoshop really fast, so what’s with this website?
After a morning of walking around I went back to that burrito place I liked last time – still as good (and with very reasonably sized servings, no nap needed afterwards). I also picked up some Halloween KitKats, and I actually now forget what they contained, sweet potato I believe.
(again, this is only second post written and scheduled with the new WP editor and it is still very much a mess)
This is the first post I’m trying to make using the new editor and it is a mess! I can’t for the life of me figure out how to easily insert multiple photos at once without creating a gallery like you used to be able to… yikes!
Also now the little calendar on the side no longer shows which other posts are scheduled for a specific day – sad to see that feature go, it was very useful to me as I schedule things up to three weeks in advance so posts keep on coming even when I’m on holiday or will be busy.
