Becoming an adult feels like slowly being pushed into a managerial position you didn't really want.

Safari on Mac 14.4 is absolutely awful for me. Constant crashes and dysfunction with full screen switching. Safari has always been a bit flaky with this but this is the worst I have known it.

I made a Caesar Salad.

Well, I made a regular salad, then stabbed it twenty-three times.

Follow me for more recipes.

Granada on a wet and windy Wednesday morning. Initially I was annoyed that the person stepped into the frame, but I think it works better than the later frames with the dead space in the left.

The climate's challenges and answers in one picture. Beznar reservoir in Andalucia, just starting to recover from drought conditions, with the HEP dam in the background, and beyond that, some of Andalusia's many, many wind turbines.

Lemons - one of the most prevalent sights in this part of Andalucia - on a tree with the Sierra Nevada in the background. The only sunny day of my visit, on the morning before I left. So it goes.

Mood lighting signals sunrise on a 787-10 on the way to Amsterdam. The windows remain tinted letting no light in from the outside. It's a pretty pleasant cabin if you are able to sleep on planes.

A Delta A330-900 waits for me at E pier on a gloomy AMS morning, for the 7hr 22min flight to JFK. The A330 and A350 have this black eyeliner around the flight deck windows; it's very distinctive.

From AMS-AGP last week, somewhere over Spain. Transavia (the Dutch word for 'late', apparently) 737-800.

An A330 NEO for this flight. Another brand new aircraft. The transatlantic legs have all been on shiny new stuff. WiFi not working on this one though. Shame I cannot do any of the work I was totally planning on doing. 😉

When I get home I am going to purchase a clock and send it to Transavia. Apparently they have not heard of them.

Amsterdam is generally a very well thought out airport. Been through here a few times now. The toilets are always spotless and unlike JFK and Newark not spaced 5 miles apart.

Early at AMS for my flight to New York, and onwards to home. This journey started with a late flight from Spain and a little cabin in Schipol, which was fun, if not exactly cheap.

I'm watching Pru Leith on the telly at my dad's and she just used the word 'hack' when she meant 'tip'. I am unusually irritated by this.

That feeling when you have a look at Linkedin and see a former boss write about how LLMs mean the end of coding and programming as a job. That now the only thing needed to get working software is to describe clearly what you want, something they were always manifestly incapable of doing

Coordinating the return of my missing baggage to an address in Rural Spain is fun. Curiously, the local habit is to use WhatsApp for everything.

I made it to Spain. My luggage did not.
