raspi 3

My raspi 2 suddenly stopped working for an $unknown_reason I only know it lost ssh connection all the time. So I decided to get a raspi 3.

It arrived on November 24th. You could have seen me broadcast on irc the steps from the moment I put my hands on it until I finally plugged it in:

Which film are we going to see today?

Last Wednesday I went to the movie theater with a good old friend of mine. We had been exchanging a dozen text messages trying to decide which film we were going to see. There were many many films to choose from: Ben-Hur, Pets, Cafe Society and some more. I wanted to see Suicide Squad more than any other, and when we arrived at the place here is what we saw. It was clear, we had to see it. By the way, it was great, I quite liked it.

Kitchen garden April 2016

It's April again and the kitchen garden is becoming greener and greener. It is lovely to see plants grow so well. I sowed lima beans, tomato plants, spinach, green and yellow chard, artichokes, carrots, onions, zucchini, lettuce and I'm not done yet ...


This year I added several strawberry plants.


Personna blades

I wanted to try personna blades for some time but I couldn't find them anywhere (except online). This week I found them in a supermarket.


I must admit they are pretty good. They are really sharp but at the same time, soft with your skin. Added to my collection of favourites...

The Force Awakens, twice...

I just couldn't help it, I liked the film so much that I had to see it again...
