Last day in Warsaw. I will leave for the airport tomorrow at 5.30. Looking forward to seeing and hugging friends and family, but sad to leave and go away from my partner. I hope to be back in December though, so quite soon.

Uncomfortable words I wish I had heard sooner in my life: perfectionism is fancy procrastination and people-pleasing can be an act of manipulation.

First day in Warsaw. The weather was lovely and I walked more than 20K steps. Today was dedicated to just walking around the city and figuring out good areas for an apartment. Tomorrow is supposed to rain: good day for a museum visit.

I see myself and my past with much more clarity now. I don't think it's just hindsight (some of it, yes, for sure), as I have recently felt like I finally found myself. Or... this is a midlife crisis. Which I wouldn't necessarily see as a bad thing: I worked hard to get where I am, I can finally do stuff I couldn't do when I was young and too busy following other people's rules.

I have a really long day ahead, so of course I have been woken up by uncomfortable dreams 3 hours before my alarm would ring.

Such an intense work week! (I know it's only Tuesday, but it feels like an entire full week has happened). And I booked two therapist visits, one dinner, one D&D session, a COVID vaccine and a bunch of screening medical exams all before the end of the month. During which time my partner will move to Poland and I need to plan a visit to family in Germany and a visit to our UK office in the Sunny (not really) Milton Keynes.

I long for Autumn: the cold breeze in the morning, quiet evenings, the trees looking all shades of red and yellow, drinking tea and wearing oversized hoodies and comfy socks.

New phone is here. Setting it all up was *tedious*. I hope this lasts me at least 5 years.

A while ago I wanted to turn my RasPi into a small server to host my projects, web site, etc. but I have kind of abandoned the idea now. Sure, I would own all my data and be in control of them, however I'd still depend on a domain provider and internet provider. I think I have now concluded I am happy to abandon the idea.

I wish Astrobotany had an option to delete messages. I have few that I don't really want to see anymore, but I don't want to give up my account. It feels like something too small to bother an admin and I don't have a GitHub account to make a suggestion. I wish I could code, I'd work on a solution myself and push it.

I haven't been distro hopping for several years, however I am thinking of swapping Arch with something else on my laptop. Perhaps just plain Debian? Pop!_OS? Back to Manjaro? I would like to go for something I can settle with again for a long time. Before Arch, I'd hop from distro to distro every week. I am not planning to do that again for sure! But I need a change.

What client do station users use to browse Gemini? I am using Lagrange on my phone and it's amazing. I'd be interested in a terminal client that I can use on my headless RasPi that does not have vim-inspired key mappings (I expect most programmers over here will cringe reading this, LOL).

Today is my last day off work, and it's so warm that an extreme heat alert has been issued. I wish I could rewind time and go back one week to enjoy a few more days of cooler holidays.

And landed. There was some disruption earlier this morning in Frankfurt due to a protest organised by climate activists, however my flight was not affected.

Going back home tomorrow. Sad to leave Germany and go back on my own (my partner will hopefully join me again soon), but also looking forward to be home.

We went to the Gutenberg museum today. It was amazing. Also I did not know that there are so many things to see in Mainz. Maybe I will have a chance to return one day.

I finished reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy yesterday. Beautiful book, very painful to read. It immediately went into my list of favourites.

The next part of my trip to Germany involves staying at my partner's family and getting some R&R. We do have a couple of potential day trips planned - including following your suggestion @bavarianbarbarian , but we'll see how we feel and what the rest of the family wants to do. I have some thoughts around me being here as a guest that don't fit here (too wordy XD ), maybe I will put them in some diary entry in my capsule.

Morning visit to Herrenh盲user G盲rten before we embark on a long train trip back to the Frankfurt area, where the family of my partner lives. The weather has not been able to settle between scorching hot and rainy/cold-ish. Looks like we are getting a cooler morning today.

Quick visit to the Elbphilharmonie and Alter Elbtunnel, then off to Hannover on a (greatly delayed, feels like Italy) train.

Day 3: boat trip, naval museum, some food was had. Went on top of the Feldstra脽e Bunker. Now trying to avoid the football fans and go back to the hotel. The museum was *way* bigger than expected. Overall a great day again.

Day 2 in Hamburg: breakfast in a cat caf茅, walked around the city a bit and walked into a triathlon competition, spent the entire day in the Kunsthalle. The William Blake temporary exhibition was amazing.

Leaving Berlin to go to Hamburg today. it is currently raining. Hopefully it will clear up a bit as travel in dry weather is more comfortable.

Went to Checkpoint Charlie today. I was 10 years old when the wall fell but I remember it well. I felt a really strong sense of melancholy and sadness looking at the pieces of the wall being sold: the world felt so much different back then, like I could actually feel optimistic for the future. It's a mix of innocence lost and the current political events now making me so jaded and sad.

Landed in Berlin! My train to Milano to the airport was 20 minutes late and my flight to Berlin landed 20 minutes early. Funny it all balanced out though it was basically faster for me to go from Italy to a different Country than it was to travel between cities in my Country.
