Telepizza have just announced two new pizza flavours: hamburger and hot dog - so perhaps it's time to give pineapple a break, is it really the villain of the piece?

City of Strangers I sit upstairs on the train. I don't usually do this in the summer because it gets hot, the shadier lower deck being the smarter choice over the summer months. I am not in the mood of travel or anything else today though, I am anxious about the whole trip, and so decide to break…

My next two trips are Edinburgh and London, seeing as I am just flying and there's almost zero adventure involved, I might not bother blogging about them - might keep my powder dry for later in the year when adventures abound #travel #blogging

An evening with Van the Man mainly playing songs I've never heard of, but at least it ended with a bang - even if he's too much of a stroppy fuck to take a bow and give us a wave.

Madrid's wonderful Feria del Libro was a bit hot and busy yesterday, but what a cracking thing it is - strong recommend if you're into books (although obviously largely in Spanish, and the authors doing the book signings are mostly Spanish) #madrid #books

Just finished Adrian Edmondson's excellent Beserker autobiography. I found it moving and inspiring, he was always one of my favourite people, even if some of the comedy didn't always quite click with me.

Looks like Mauro has left dEUS again, there's a new fella on guitar (Simen Følstad Nilsen from Aiming for Enrike) - it's not clear if Mauro's absence is temporary due to ill-health, or more permanent. #dEUS

Exploring the local Vilnius music scene, well - buying a Kamanių Šilelis CD (local experimental folky type band), so that counts as exploring #Vilnius #music #travel

My desire to follow the stoic principle of temperance is bettered only my desire to drink red wine ... why does this keep happening to me?

I don't know if travel narrows the mind exactly, but it certainly makes me despair for the future of humanity

I might get my bike out later (or tomorrow) and go for a ride. I like the idea of cycling far more than the act of actually doing it, but I am trying to be more adventurous in life, so - no promises - but maybe.
