eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 26/09/2026after I watched ‘De Gaulle: Resistance’ I found this in the french history section in waterstones. can’t recommend enough, loads I didn’t know. 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 20/09/2026i am absolutely all for screaming about ‘gas’ prices if it makes life more difficult for the orange moron but um i’m reasonably certain the average european would shrug pump today in london (i honestly don’t pay much attention usually but i converted dollars/ gallon to compare and um:) 100
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I have not had a lot of sleep and thus feel ill-equipped for today’s NYT crossword clues 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 14/09/2026those of us over t’pond had to wait a bit for our copy of @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social ‘s book but here tis, made it out of LHR customs :) 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 12/09/2026if you have the chance to see it, do (can just turn up but always worth checking the website 1/2 days before for a timeslot, i got mine yesterday) 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Pottering around the Louvre earlier in my usual haphazard manner, and found these :) 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 11/09/2026i wonder if writing on it is a regular feature or if this is a first :) 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 11/09/2026come to potter round the army museum, where a ceremony (retirement i think ) taking place . sound on:) 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 11/09/2026didn’t know it was up again so brief confused ‘what’s in the sky’ as i walked towards the gardens :) 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 05/09/2026lot o gravel needed for this weekend’s district line works :) 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Seems vaguely like cheating to choose a word where you think it’s a word but can’t remember what it means 100
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Nat Gallery have a room full of mountain and other nature paintings, till Sep 20. Waldmuller. 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 12/08/2026On the left, yes that works. On the right, no, doing that over your shoulder for nanoseconds in selfie mode clearly does not, presumably bc it’s still too bright for the lens even at peak. Oh well;) 110
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 12/08/2026it did seem a load easier than the cardboard options being used around me:) 110
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 12/08/2026i wondered if the common’s usual evening emptiness be instead all eclipse watchers, more people showing up now tho and more with cars than you’d usually see 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 04/08/2026is ‘small cute fluffy’ time o year in St James Park (where all critters prob happy bc it just rained :) 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 10/07/2026if you’re hot today well at least not wearing a bearskin hat 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 08/07/2026happened upon this in Waterstones yesterday and it’s so good 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I’m going with ‘because the american education system is in a sufficiently appalling state that half the population are unable to determine when someone on a ballot is a moron’ 010
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 07/07/2026surely somebody will snap up ‘untitled soundtrack album’ at the RA summer exhibition :) 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 04/07/2026NYT’s entry for ‘most blindingly obvious statement of the year’ (Seriously how does this exist? Is it ‘we have x column inches to fill and we don’t have enough ads today’, in which case what’s it doing on the website too) 110
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 03/07/2026my annual ‘attend sports’ day, currently pondering why umpires can’t just have padded chairs rather than have to inflate a cushion :) 100
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 02/07/2026our station used to be nicely covered in astroturf this time o year, but last couple years whoever shelled out for that decided not to:( 100
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 28/06/2026meanwhile in zurich a surprising lack of competition for this shady spot. maybe everyone by the lake ;) 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 27/06/2026there was an ‘ultra’ race going on today so walkers carefully picking way over steep rock etc had runners flying by :) 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 27/06/2026much to own surprise did the climb halfway up the Hornliweg today (which is technical enough it makes the ascent weirdly easier bc you can’t hurry). reached the familiar sign and then no higher bc alpine blue trails without a rope , nope nope :) 100
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 26/06/2026warm on the trails today when one wasn’t in the woods. and also preparation afoot for the Zermatt marathon tomorrow, for which people seemed be training (isn’t it better to rest the day before?) running up and down mountains at all let alone in heat, you’d have to be out of your tree:) 210
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 26/06/2026sound on for a restful 25s. this is the Gorner gorge near Zermatt, can’t recommend enough if you get the chance. never seems very busy least when i’m here, can sit by that pool for ages mostly undisturbed (may be different august) 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 25/06/2026up by the glaciers today. it’s a great trail and v doable in good weather the location does mean a lot of non walkers go down it, meaning an ‘idiocy in mountains’ contest would have many entrants 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 24/06/2026was pottering along trail earlier and came to section where trail setter had clearly thought ‘um ok right we need a rope here’, with the result that i spent five mins thinking err yes this actually is v exposed :) (didn’t need the rope but i think someone without good gear would. or in wet) 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 24/06/2026my carefully chosen ‘not too serious’ trail route has successfully moved my legs from mildly aching to ouch-ouch-ouch on stepping , worth it tho :) 010
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 23/06/2026the dam is always impressive even if familiar with it. couldn’t cross today bc people working on there 000
eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 23/06/2026from the Matterhorn Trail earlier. north face overlooking, the ridge to the left is the ‘normal’ route (which supposedly doesn’t require much technical skill, but i went over in a heli once and it looks um terrifying up top:) 100
