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

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

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

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.
