I made myself the agreement that I would not overcomplicate my journal: every +evening before I go to bed, I walk downstairs, often with a good glass of something or other (🍷), +and type away at my keyboard, without syntax checking, spelling checks, lots of research and +editorialization. Just write, almost a _free word association_ style. I then rely on readers +(there's a few out there, I know who you are! I have _Plausible_ analytics!!1), to point out all the +typos and weird grammatical constructs I used. + +Today is a no different -- on *this* site -- but I spent most of the entire day typing up an article +which I promised I'd write one week ago, [[Last Monday]({{< ref wk2day1 >}})]! I start off the +article in the morning before lunch, but I don't get very far. I go upstairs to feed Dougie (my +starter culture), and scoop out two spoonfulls to make a levain for tomorrow's BBQ, and another one +for a rustic _Buurebrot_ (German for _Farmers Bread_) that I want to make: _En Guete, Vorteigli!_ + +## Afternoon + +After lunch, Marina and I go shopping, as we need a bit of groceries for our guests tomorrow: Aad +and family are visiting from NL, in the beautiful town of Luzern. They'd like to come over and say +hi, maybe have a spot of barbecue in the afternoon. So we go off to get a little bit of foozle for +when they get hungry. Can't let guests go hungry, you know! + +Our first stop is the _Jumbo_, a local gardening and home improvement store, much like a _Lowe's_. +We have a wasps nest and also an ant colony, and they are overstaying their welcome. We buy some +insecticide, and I also randomly buy a new showerhead because I have fallen out of love with our +current one. It's loud, leaky and it no longer sparks joy. Out with the old, in with the new! + +As always, we end up buying the stuff we have on our grocery list, and about a million other things +we do _not_ have on our list. I'm intrigued by the _Marques de Riscal_, which is a Gran Reserva from +2016, very much ready to drink (in fact, I'm drinking it now!), and has a 30% discount, which is +nice. All that shopping set me back almost two hours, but we did manage to charge the car a little +bit, which is nice. + +Back home, I ate some soup! And as a proud _Schwyzerdutch_ person, I eat it either with _Maggi_, or +as was the case today, with a good helping of _Aromat_. After that, and also beacuse it's 33C +outside today, I am sweating through every orifice. My solution: go downstairs where it's nice and +cool, and finish the IPng article. + +Before I know it, it's 17:30 and Marina demands a G&T. She comes into my office with a _Lavender and +Echinacea_, sniffs it, and says it may not want to have a lot of strongly flavored tonics. I say: +"I shall be the judge of that!", and I put the bottle to the lips, only to drink a tiny tiny amount. +This gin is great! + +## Evening + +For dinner tonight, sauteed _Mangold_ (German: _Krautstiel_), with an onion, boiled potatoes and +porkchops with gravy. I inhale it, it tastes so good. After dinner, I quickly clean up, because I +have one more thing I want to do: play with the Silhouette [[Cameo +v5](https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/cameo-5)] a little bit. I download, for the first time, +Silhouette Studio, and click around a little bit. I quickly resort to begging Marina to come explain +it to me, which she does. I cannot overstate how helpful it is to get your first learning curve +jumpstarted by somebody who knows the tool/product/process already. I feel like I am in the fast +lane, am able to make the pin design I have in mind, and she shows me how to do the finer operations +like merging, defining the cutting lines, how to do shape intersections, color matching, and how to +put fiducials on the paper, so that the Cameo can automatically discover where to cut. + +The Cameo is so cool! It's relatively quick, very quick, and super precise. I'm a bit sad that I +didn't splurge and get also the new electrostatic bed. This way, you don't have to use the +self-adhesive cutting mats, which are not terrible, but also do mean a bit more fidgetting is +required to get the paper back off. With electrostatic mat, or so they way, it just autoreleases +when the cut is done, so no more fidgetting! So I decide to buy one anyway, as our local shop has +a few in stock. Why not? I'm in a midlife crisis, and the alternative is that Ferrari, and nobody in +my family wants to see me rock up in a Ferrari. Electrostatic mat, it is! + +At about 20:45, the skies turned violent on us, and we saw a bit of a thunderstorm. In the back of +the house I could still see some blue skies, but there was a thundercloud right overhead. It had +lots of scattered sheet lightning. I also looked in the front of the house, where it was pitch black +and heavy winds were chasing through our _cul-de-sac_. Wow! Here's a little video from the backyard: + +{{< video src="/media/vdo/IMG_0623_0.12.56.mp4" type="video/mp4" preload="auto" >}} + +I finally finish my article - I do this somewhat _Inception_ style, with filming a video of me +submitting the website, and seeing it being automatically built by Drone and pushed to the NGINX +webservers. It's a nice demo, and I feel good about my work, make a little bit of noise about it on +[[Twitter](https://x.com/IPngNetworks/status/1823100780812853413)] and +[[Mastodon](https://ublog.tech/@IPngNetworks/112951035809607019)]. + +Then, after the rain dies down, I think of Aad and family - who are arriving in Lucerne tonight. +According to the Swiss meteo radar, all hell has broken loose over Lucerne. I hope they made it to +their resting place. Marina and Quinn have already turned in for the night. Quinn has to +get up at an illegal time tomorrow, 05:00 or so, `trombone.wav`! + +Me? I decide to take care of business. We bought some Wasp repellant spray, which on the can says +"Use after dusk or before dawn, when the wasps are in the hive". That sounds about now! I go outside +and see a few dozen wasps sitting on the wooden beam under our garage roof. It says "spray for 5-20 +seconds from 1m distance". I press the nozzle, and oh my lordy! It feels like this spraycan actually +has a _kickback_. A gobsmackingly enormous amount of gunk comes splurting out the nozzle, and it +covers the whole area in white foam. Heheheh, take that, wasp! I don't think they know what hit +them, and I was certainly surprised that this hairspray-sized can ejaculated itself in like thirty +seconds or so. I look forward to see what carnage I made tomorrow. This was **awesome** (for me, at +least). + +## Pictures of the Day + +{{< gallery-category >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-12/IMG_0612.JPG" caption="In the shop, I hesitate and want to buy these two adorable but otherwise useless (and non-floof) chickens.
