Assimilating
If you find yourself in Scotland, you must try a haggis pizza. Even more strongly recommended is a ‘pizza crunch’ (a battered and deep fried delicacy, especially popular in Glasgow).
Is it just me, or does this post start off like the opening sentence to an intriguing (or perhaps annoyingly self aware?) booker prize shortlisted novel? Sadly, it goes off the rails before it could reach its true potential.
In Athens for a conference. A lovely balmy evening and a nice chance for a meal at the hotel’s rooftop restaurant. I can see the Parthenon. I’ve never visited the city before, but hope to get to the museum before I leave.
How very timely! I was in Copenhagen very recently (for parkrun), and got this snap of the most famous denizen of that rather lively city. As for fishy folk, honourable mention to ‘Cabin in the Woods’ for their use of a merman (“They’re terrifying, and the cleanup…”).
Pick a Bond from photos you already have in your phone. (I genuinely didn’t even have to scroll for this)
Some of my favourite objects from the Danish Design Museum, here in Copenhagen.
I’ve never really liked Gaugin, but this painting is somewhat Turner-esque, and I think it is rather charming.
Enjoying the Ny Carlsberg Glypotek. Although I’ve left it a bit late to enjoy this beer on the roof terrace (chilly!).
@alexpodyssey.bsky.social found this in the wild on facebook of all places. I believe all the attributions are in the image. Perhaps something you’ll have seen already, but I quite enjoyed the punning.
Hosting a friend’s cat at home for a few days. Very hissy when meeting Basil and Anchovy. Welcome, Bear!
People may be aware of my long standing love for the running app ‘Zombies, Run!’, and I’m excited to see that (after a hiatus) they are now about to release new story content! The narrative is great (created and written by Naomi Alderman), and I’d love to know that more runners were enjoying it! 🧟🧟♀️🧟♂️
