I have just started re-watching breaking bad (third time). And I’m shocked by the spelling of hydrofluoric acid. It is not “hydroflouric”.

A warning about the supposed final Fall album that’s coming out soon: it is NOT a real Fall album, it’s just Mark E Smith rambling nonsense over music that has no connection to the vocal

My laptop camera suddenly stopped working this afternoon. I googled everything I could, used ChatGPT, installed drivers, uninstalled devices, did a hard reset, went into device manager, terminal, the bios, oh, I don’t even know how to describe half of what I did. But nothing worked.

Well done, me! I’m just about to board my second flight of the day, taking me back to Madrid, after a 12-day, three-location holiday (Munich, Salzburg and Ljubljana) with trains or buses between each. I didn’t miss a single one or confuse any checkout dates (unlike last year).

Postojna cave. The journey begins with a dizzying train ride through narrow tunnels, opening out into giant cathedrals with towering organ pipes. But they all go whizzing by so fast. I’m amazed no one has had their brains bashed out. Bet a few phones have been smashed, though.

Salzburg beer hall. Woman on opposite table has spent ten minutes creating content about her currywurst. General shots. Close ups. Selfie stick full extended distant shots. Reaction shots. Pretend eating shots. Smiles! Gasps! Curiosity! Disgust! Whimsy! She hasn’t yet eaten a bit of it.

Salzburg. Seems ok so far.

I’m in Munich. Watching a woman chainsmoke. Five in a row so far, lighting one from the other. It looked like she had a box of 55 cigarettes. I googled, and sure enough, Germany sells boxes of 55. And 77.

I am watching H is for Hawk. I thought it would just be a slow film about a depressed woman moping over her dead dad and training a bird how to hunt. And it is. But as films about moping over dead dads and training birds how to hunt go, this is one of the better ones

Although it’s true that a search for Lake Ontario shows it labelled as Lake Ontario/Lake America, a search for Lake America brings up only Lake America Family Physicians in Florida. It’s like four seasons landscaping all over again.

To market, to market went to my brother Jim, and somebody threw a tomato at him. Now, tomatoes are soft and they don’t hurt the skin, but this one it did: it was wrapped in a tin. Get away, get away, it’s a bloody fine song and I’ll sing it all day. Miss you, Mum.

Looks like a photo shown on the news while a senior police officer tells the press that the couple are not under suspicion, but they would very much like to speak to them because they might have seen something.

Saw a very inspiring news video this morning about a man jailed for attempting to throw drugs into HMP Hull. I've been thinking about it all day and felt a tribute was merited.

I can’t believe there isn’t a restaurant or brand named: Tómate un Tomate. Or, even Tómate un Tomate, Toma Tė. (Translation: Have a tomato, have a tea)
