As always, spending time with Annelie Wambeek is effortless. She taught Anja and I how to cook a few Sri Lankan dishes. I love it when non-spicy spices come together to give me a zinger.

Hate that I’m the type of person who stands in a monitored line on the streets of Amsterdam to get lunch.

I’m intrigued by what’s happening here. When I saw Sydney’s red carpet look I thought of Billie Eilish’s “coming out” as a bombshell. I wonder if a part of me is offended. I don’t think so. I don’t, by the way, think it’s crazy that those far right articles celebrating Sydney’s outfit as the end of woke were written by women.

There’s something undyingly hip about the baristas at Coffee Company Oosterdok.

I’m attending my very first Saturday Writers' Cafe at Omek. Couldn’t be disappointed if they tried.

After having set up my content management system around an Obsidian vault through which I publish content at a fixed daily time, I’m reverting back to iOS shortcuts. It’s more fun to publish immediately; it helps me capture the small things more easily.
