Trying different things.
Today we were reminded of what it feels like to not be cold all the time. 17°C, glorious sunshine. Sound of birds chirping in the park. Faint noises of spring slowly edging towards us.
Spent the weekend working on an air powered car with Ryan. Sooo fiddly but it was fun working on it with him and getting tools out. I would have preferred a chunky Lego set but for my engineering training it was great.
Israel drops abuse charges against soldiers. That is what is heading towards Lebanon. Isreal is a rouge nation, with an army of rapists. The sooner everyone understands this and takes clear action to stop this morally bankrupt government, the better the world will become. https://www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2026/3/13/israel-drops-abuse-charges-against-soldiers

The New York Times

It’s not every day I read the description of a beer that puts a smile on my face, La fin du Monde (The end of the World):

"This rich and sophisticated triple has earned several international titles thanks to its refined taste marked by notes of fruit and spice, supported by a slight bitterness. It is a tribute to Quebec, the land encountered by French explorers who thought they had reached the end of the world."
