I want to go to bed earlier than normal, but I'm having a cup of #tea now because I realised I haven't had caffeine today, and I don't want to get hit by a delayed lack of caffeine headache tomorrow...

(For those interested, it's loose leaf Lapsang Souchong with a dash of my home-made masala chai simple syrup in it.)

In an attempt to get more #fruit / #vitamins in me, I've grabbed the #smoothie blender again, and bought some overripe #bananas (yes, the ones from my earlier shopping rant) and frozen #blueberries.
For this one I mixed them with some #cinnamon, coconut milk and vanilla sugar.

Not quite sure why I stopped making these? Maybe I just grew tired of them? Or from cleaning the smoothie blender (though it's not as bad as I remember)?

At any rate, that smoothie blender is one of the best cheap #secondHand purchases I did from #FINN, along with the coffee beans grinder for the missus. So, of there's some appliance you bought one a whim and never use, maybe put it up cheap on your local market; you might make someone really happy with it. :)

Started an alt for @FiXato here on toot.cat to see if #Glitchsoc is a closer match to what I want out of a #SocialMediaPlatform, feature-wise.
So, it's time for a re-introduction:

Who am I?

-=-
I'm FiXato, a stay-at-home father of a two-year-old I often refer to as #BeardGrabber.
While I was born in the Netherlands, I've been living in northern Norway for quite some time now.

What do I do?

-=-
In day-to-day life I take care of our son while the missus is at work, and when I have some spare time and headspace, I like to tinker on my various coding projects.

Aside from that, I like to play some mobile Android games such as #PokémonGO, #Ingress and #MarioKartTour.

Overview in hashtags:

  Emigrated to #Norway (#northernNorway to be more precise)

Trying out #EikerMjød (#mead from the #Eiker #Ølfabrikk AS brewery in #Mjøndalen, #Norge, pictured on the left), and #KriekOfTelemark (#Kriek #cherry #fruitBeer by the #NøgneØ brewery in #Grimstad, #Norway, pictured on the right).

The #mjød was not quite sweet enough to my taste tbh, but still decent. The #cherryBeer was a bit too sour, but that was @Siiw's pick anyway. :)

Greek Beer and a Sunny Beach
The Daily Photograph of today is one I took in #August of #2016 on #Crete, #Greece, at a beach of #Rethymnon.
It was a hot day at the #beach, and @Siiw and I enjoyed a nice can of ελ Ζυθος #beer to cool down a bit.

Definitely one of the better #vacation spots I've been to. :)
