Despite streaming services, I still have my local music collection and will not get rid of that anytime soon, but I like Qobuz to try new artists or listen to back catalogues that I don’t own.

I’m very happy with my Qobuz subscription: they have great editorial content and pay artists better than the competition. Try it for free for two months with my invitation link – I don’t think I get anything besides the joy of people moving off of Spotify […]

Staying in a holiday house without a useable internet connection is quite stressful to me, I have to admit. It’s not like I want to do a lot of online things, but resolving some things would be helpful …

I'm still stuck on sleeve island with my cardigan, but I'm already planning my next big knitting project. I'm really in love with this sweater by Natalie Meredith right now. I think it would look amazing in a sunset coloured variegated yarn for the upper part. #knitting

Im Durchschnitt von mehreren Schweizer Städten sind nur etwa 3 % der Strassenfläche für das Velo reserviert – das ist weniger, als die Autos Parkplatzfläche auf öffentlichen Strassen zur Verfügung haben.

For whatever reason, I simply haven't been on the shore all that much, this summer. A trip to our old favourite, Cockenzie in East Lothian, was called for. ...And an #AmperSand was thusly delivered. It's been too long. More here in the archive, if you're new […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

An Ampersand formed on the beach by arranging red stones and worn bits of terracotta on the otherwise quite dull, gritty sand. You can see the approaching edge of the rising tide only a meter or two away, now, in the sheltered village cove. A couple of sea-glass hunters are walking along the beach, looking for treasures more shiny than the large glyph.

A close-up shot of the red and stones which make up an ampersand formed on the sandy beach.

Looking down on an ampersand formed on the beach by arranging red stones and worn bits of terracotta on the otherwise quite dull, gritty sand. A shadow is cast over the ampersand by the legs of the photographer, who's standing just next to it. His feet don't make the lettering any more beautiful, but they provide a sense of scale!
