Bamberg, a city so pretty it looks like someone forgot to switch off the medieval setting and just left it on “peak.”

You should post on TikTok

I am not a TikTok or Instagram person to be honest. I shall consider it though. Thank you for your ask 🥂

There’s something extraordinary about watching a sunset from an aircraft window. Up here, the world doesn’t just move, it transforms. Entire cities drift past in minutes, their lights flickering into life before disappearing behind the horizon. Oceans, vast beyond comprehension from the ground, slip beneath you in a matter of hours. And as the sky changes colour by the second, you’re reminded just how immense the planet is and how astonishingly small it can feel from 35,000 feet.

After a week involving Hamburg, cafés, running, vegetables, and other forms of unnecessary self mprovement, I’ve made a discovery.

Organic apples are nonsense.

What I require is lamb curry. Proper lamb curry. Paneer. Rice. Vast quantities of both. And a Mission Impossible film so absurd that by the end Tom Cruise is hanging from a supersonic helicopter attached to a submarine attached to the Moon.

This is the way. Sunday. Just surviving…

Ran 7.8 km this morning. Then I bought organic apples, pears, and enough leafy green vegetation to sustain a medium sized herd of alpacas. The plan is smoothies, soup, and possibly becoming a woodland creature.

Unfortunately, somewhere between the running and the agricultural shopping expedition, my feet resigned from active service. I can no longer feel them. They may still be attached. Investigations are ongoing.

That taco was so good, I briefly considered making it my next of kin. Meine Arbeitskollegen aka die Vereinten Nationen der Nörgler am Esstisch. 🌮😂

Über den Alpen. ✈️🏔️ Ich liebe dieses Gefühl. In der Luft zu sein hat mich schon immer fasziniert. „Weil ich fliege, beneide ich keinen Menschen auf Erden.

Flying over the Alps. Dreamliner LH

Heutzutage ist Ehrlichkeit ein echter Fluch. Du lernst jemanden kennen, investierst Zeit, führst echte Gespräche und denkst: „Das könnte tatsächlich etwas werden.“ Dann machst du den fatalen Fehler und magst die Person wirklich. Und was passiert? Erst werden die Antworten immer kürzer, dann herrscht Funkstille, und kurz darauf bist du blockiert. Einfach so. Schneller als ein Sportwagen von 0 auf 100. Traurig. Aber offenbar gehört das inzwischen zum Dating Paket dazu.

I always drink my coffee in cafés. This is chai.

Now all we need is a proper South Asian chai shop here, like they have in Amsterdam. I’m tired of having to explain that I want a chai, not a “chai tea latte” which is about as sensible as saying “tea tea latte.”

My Swedish colleague Ida hearing me complain and asking me to drink my white people chai 😂

Every time I go to Hamburg, the rest of Germany is melting at 1,747,848 degrees while Hamburg immediately summons biblical thunderstorms out of pure spite.

Even if your day is chaos, take a minute for your mental peace. Look up at the sky. Then sip your espresso tonic. And no, it doesn’t have alcohol in it, just espresso, tonic water, and ice. Disappointing to some. Refreshing to everyone else.

[tordenvde]

That’s a cool mix

Thank you ☺️ Sounds more fancy than it is. Thank you for your ask

We waited 45 minutes for the pizzas. Forty-five. Minutes. By any reasonable measure, that’s ridiculous. And yet, the moment they arrived, all was forgiven. They were magnificent. Spectacular. Proof that sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for. A cracking Sunday, in the end.
