We live as long as we fly
After a couple of hours of walking around with our mouths hanging open in amazement, our stomachs started rumbling, and we took the opportunity to step out into the fresh air in search of grub.
On the evening of the day I moved in with Giovanni, Katya flew in from Liverpool. Curiously, trains in the UK are often more expensive than planes. Look what the Labour party has brought the country to! Katya pulled a fast one, and relied on luck and the Ryanair staff being in a rush at the end of boarding. For the umpteenth time, she flew with a bag noticeably larger than the only recently allowed free one — a small personal item. Nowadays, everything bigger costs money. I still have fresh memories of the time they made me throw away two kilos of excess weight on Norwegian when I was flying from the US. Therefore, I'm on edge (or maybe just because my nerves are shot) and brought a tiny foldable backpack, just big enough to fit my mini-laptop. Because of this, I had to buy a more comfortable mini-backpack at Decathlon so I could comfortably hike the mountains in Romania. I'll keep Katya's experience in mind for the future, I'll try to take my work backpack for the laptop.
For the hundred-thousandth time, I blindly trusted what I was told instead of relying on my own knowledge and calculations. I had figured out in advance when Katya was supposed to make it to the center from the airport. Instead, I headed out for the time she sent me on WhatsApp, and didn't even double-check. Nevertheless, the family reunited successfully, we didn't even have to write to the "Wait for Me" TV show. At home, I had neither the energy nor the desire to plan for others as well. I dumped it all on Katerina. Especially since she is also an experienced traveler by now, and she has ideas about where to go and what to see. First on the list was the Camera Obscura and World of Illusions museum. And that's exactly where we headed the following morning.
Сегодня полдня провёл, возясь с электрощитком. Дело простое, а время сжирает чудовищно. Если нет схемы, или не продумаешь работу — пиши пропало. Последствия ремонта и других недоделок в квартире оказались чудовищно велики. У меня даже очертаний горизонта нет, когда же я с этим монстром покончу. Вам смешно, а у меня руки опускаются. За две пары выходных я достиг следующих невиданых высот.
Ещё немного повозился с блогом, надеясь улучшить конвейер создания и публикации постов. Уже лучше представляю, чего хочу, но идти к этому долго.
Посмотрел интервью группы Грот Дудю, послушал. Раньше, оказывается, мне уже присылал её Рыбаков, но я не проникся. А в этот раз попёрло. Мелодично, местами правда до сладости. Тексты на уровне. Не уверен, что сумел бы такие выдать.
Или вот мощная песня, ловко закручен текст.
