🍿 Watched Rogue One again, after finishing Andor. Loved following the story arc and the characters. Rogue One flows seamlessly from Andor to New Hope. Great writing, cinematography, a touch of humor… I think this might be “the” best Star Wars movie, ever.
📺 Watched Andor Season 2 this week. Unpopular opinion, but I found it just “meh”. A well-made and boring space-opera.
Having tabbouleh for dinner tonight! 🥗
A month ago I went to Andalucía. It was amazing, I visited castles, went to two fancy restaurants, took a million photos telling myself I would make an online gallery, maybe even print and frame a few… and I still haven’t downloaded, edited or even looked at the images. It’s a struggle! 📷🗺
One blog to rule them all
I’ve been blogging on and off since the early 2000’s. I’ve blogged about linux, going to university, movies, programming, photography, moving to Rio de Janeiro, moving to Sweden, moving to Spain, gardening, traveling, learning to play the piano, learning to sew, learning esperanto…
Sadly, none of those blogs are alive today and I think the main reason is I was misguided by the idea that “you need a niche”. I tried to put all the things I enjoyed in my life into tiny individual boxes. For each box, a blog. As one of those persons who is into everything, I am never excited about anything long enough to keep writing about it forever.
Now I realised I don’t want to commit to one topic for the rest of my life. I want to have a truly personal blog that reflects my person. Maybe today I’m really into baking sourdough bread. Maybe tomorrow I’m really into wind-surfing. Who knows. I don’t need to create a wind surfing blog to tell the world how much I love it.
Everything bundled together, just like in real life. This will be the One Blog to Rule Them All.
Sunset at Ciutat de les Arts i Cièncias
This weekend we went to the xmas market at Ciutat de les Arts i Cièncias. I’ve been there many times before, but I’m not sure I had actually seen it during sunset and blue hour. The colors, the reflections, the shapes, it was so inspiring!
Today we visited Chelva, a really beautiful pueblo that is known as Valencia’s Chefchaouen (a city in Morocco). In love with all the white and blue! From there, a quick hike in the Ruta del Agua trail. 🗺️
Yesterday we went to the beach. There was no one around, we could run off leash, smell the fresh air and dip our paws in the Mediterranean!!
Exhausted dogs after a 9km walk through forest and sandy beach!!
