While in #London I bought some Paxton and Whitfield #shortbread. It is very good. I try a lot of brands and am often disappointed. I am happy to say Paxton and Whitfield exceeded my expectations. I now wish I could easily buy more but am glad I can not for my ❤️ health!

Fuck. I am going to #reInvent for the first time - session registration was today but work got in the way and _every_ session I wanted to go to is full. Fuck.

My #Squatch #discgolf bags quality is not as good as my #Pound bag. The shoulder strap on my new (ordered in June) Squatch bag tore today. I hope the warranty claim goes well. The strap only lasted a few months of part time use. Not good. My pound bag had to have the strap replaced after 7 years.

A pretty poor ending to a great trip. #britishairways downgraded me from business class. Intl Business is pretty sweet usually so that stung. They'd overbooked. I was placed in a seat next to a baby who stayed upset for 7.5 of the 8.5 hour flight (that was delayed at least an hour for take off) 1/5

The crazy 2.5 weeks of Europe is over. Aberystwyth Wales -> Prague Czech -> Vienna Austria -> Budapest Hungary -> London England It's been fun but I'm ready to go home to Wild Wonderful #WestVirginia. (I could be convinced to move to London though) Country roads take me home

Bought a new shaving cream at the Camden market today and I gotta say. I smell really good! Damn good! share.google/EScJcaCygDQV... I opted for the cedar / sandalwood option. It's nice.

#Harrods claims to have everything for everyone. That is not true. They have a lot but you need ALL THE MONEY to buy things there. Absurdly expensive. Some nice feeling clothes for sure but..damn.

Just had some delish paneer curry at The Natural Kitchen in #London. I'm so stuffed. The curry was great and the naan was oh so tasty. I could eat that all the time. What a supper! Yum yum yum!

Went to Selfridges saw a rain jacket I liked. Saw the price £2375 What in the actual fuck?

Bill @rawlinson.us · 01/10/2026

I'm not quite posh enough to appreciate buying plums at 6£/kilo at Fortnum and Mason. But it's kind of fun wandering around a store that feels like a Christmas catalog of food. #london

Bill @rawlinson.us · 01/10/2026

A proper pint. #guinness on tap in Europe always tastes better. Unfortunately it's a lot more expensive too.

Bill @rawlinson.us · 01/10/2026

If I were moving to #london I would like Bethnal Green or Shoreditch I think. A little away from the central area but still vibrant. Victoria park is a gem.

Bill @rawlinson.us · 01/10/2026

I can't eat there because of alpha gal but holy smokes "the flat iron" in #London looked and smelled amazing.

Bill @rawlinson.us · 30/09/2026

Prague, Vienna, and Budapest were all cool. I'm back in #London though and it feels so much more.. Me. I love this big city with all it's different bits, neighborhoods, and vibrant energy. It's a Wednesday night and is solidly alive. It's my favorite big city and it reaffirmed itself instantly.

I'm in London and, appropriately I was greeted by an Aston Martin

Vienna airport. British airways works much like small Huntington airport. Same two ladies work the ticket counter and gate. Surprised they aren't loading bags too

Women's basketball news is dominated by whining. Men's basketball news is by travelling. No wonder I don't watch either.

As a VERY casual fan of premier league. What is the massive issue with the man city finding? Did they violate a salary cap? I don't understand what the big deal is. Please help #premierleague #football #mancity

Just had dinner in Budapest it was great! Buratta Salad. Chicken stuffed with duck fois grois, zucchini with walnuts and feta, and Somlói for dessert. Somlói was a chocolate mousse with walnuts? I don't know. The main, side, and dessert were all new flavors to me. So good stand25.hu #food #Hungary

My day sized sample of #Budapest has been cool. I'll definitely visit again someday for longer

Bill @rawlinson.us · 28/09/2026

Cottage cheese dumpling) a #Hungarian desert) not bad but would take some getting used to.

Bill @rawlinson.us · 28/09/2026

Tried #Unicum -a bitter in #Budapest. I liked it. I thought it would be a lot more bitter or astringent.. it was kind of nice though.

000

Bill @rawlinson.us · 28/09/2026

The countryside between #Vienna and #Budapest looks about the same as it does in Nebraska.. Just more trees. Plenty of hunting stands too (tower type) People are the same everywhere. Trying to tend to their families. Doing their best. Folks try too hard to pretend we've got big differences.

Bill @rawlinson.us · 27/09/2026

Booked train from Vienna to Budapest round trip via Hungarian train website. ~$4 round trip! For tomorrow. Wild. Looking forward to a day in #Budapest

The #Austria v #Kosovo match was cool but the energy wasn't as much as I had anticipated. On the plus side I discovered a way to watch sports I enjoy more - music on my earbuds during the match! #gamechanger 3/4 of the goals were scored in front of me also helped. A 3 K 1.

Belvedere art museum was neat in some ways. Amazing building. We've only walked the upper so far. Saw Klimt "The Kiss" as well as some other #art. I'm not really a "go to the museum" guy so I'll read up on things. Sorry no alt text. My fav in this batch is the village.

I'm not in the right place to find Hefe but I'm happy to get one at lunch today. Schneider Weisse. So good. Das ist gut! Also two Ferrari's drove by in short order which was very cool. #vienna

I can't eat veal (alpha gal) so chicken schnitzel it is. This is pretty darn good.

I had a bunch of good food in Prague. The best restaurant was out of the center of the city by a bit.. Dejvická Sokolovna. It was by a train station. The duck was so good and the price was perfect. #Prague #Duck #food

Duck with red cabbage. Potato dumplings Ave bread dumplings. Yum!

Radler along the #Danube. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon. At the lighthouse cafe.

Bill @rawlinson.us · 26/09/2026

Huge. I mean the biggest, billboard, in #Vienna had a bit of fun at corporal bone spurs. I used Google translate. Initially, instead of "fluff" it said blah blah..

Billboard features an emoticon of Trump and the caption "Also orange but without the fluff"

Bill @rawlinson.us · 26/09/2026

nachtmarkt is ok but the Brunnenmarkt was much cooler. I lived here I'd shop at Brunnenmarkt. #vienna - the nachtmarkt is more cafes and tourist trinkets

Bill @rawlinson.us · 26/09/2026

Going to the Austria Kosovo match tomorrow. UEFA Nations. Should be fun night full of energy from the crowd.

Bill @rawlinson.us · 26/09/2026

I'm really digging Vienna. The huge outdoor food market Brunnenmarkt was super cool - all the food!! We've not even hit the more tourist focused stuff and we've really liked it here.

020

Bill @rawlinson.us · 25/09/2026

Interesting. Restaurant put a little solar light on the table with a coaster over the panel. It's a brief political message. Google translate helped my limited German. The sentiment isn't wrong - protect your freedoms. #democracy

Arrived in Vienna. Accidentally picked a vegetarian/vegan place for dinner. It's a cool joint. Looking forward to my quiche! The view from my seat is pretty good.

In Prague if you look of the Charles bridge at the right moment you'll see a troll on a dock.. if you walk to find a better view you'll discover it's a Vodyanoy - or, in #DnD terms a Sahuagin. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodyanoy

Fancy coasters to catch the condensation I guess? It's ceramic. At the two places we went with art nouveau vibes they used these

My last beer in the Czech Republic. Plus a fancy pastry filled with apricot in a beautiful setting at the train station

On a train to Kutna Hora. Not sure where we were supposed to sit so we sat in an empty car room thing. Hope we don't get in trouble in the #Czech Republic cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kutn%C3...
