What I'm doing now

Survived the heatwave: yes ✅
As of today, I have officially been living in the fine city of Zaragoza for a year, and honestly, I find few reasons to complain. Chief among them is the weather, in particular the unrelenting heatwave that I have succesfully survived, in no small part thanks to the AC unit in my flat that ramped up my electricity bill 💸, and a couple of trips that had me considering adopting the habits of a migratory bird to find less harsh weather 😅.
Speaking about trips, I managed to squeeze in a few in the months since the last update: to Finland to visit my friends still living there and have a nice BBQ on Midsummer, to Düsseldorf for a work team day, and to Santander last week, just to visit and have a nice time on my vacation week ;).
Work continues to be manageable, but the circumstances around work will change on the near future: it was announced a month ago the decision to transition to a hybrid mode of work, starting next year, and it has ruffled some feathers among my colleagues… Since I find this city comfortable, the plan is to stay put and just do the trips to Madrid or Barcelona by train, to save myself the hassle of having to change cities… Let’s see how things go next year.
Regarding my hobbies, I have taken the questionable decision to start playing Pokemon Tectonic again, and start a new run with the most recent release of the game. But if we count updating this website as a hobby, then I’ve also kept up with that, for which the Homebrew Website Club is an additional motivator and a great place to get some inspiration.
That’s it for now. Hopefully next update won’t arrive after so long 😅.
