Forgot to return to this. Basically, we wanted to go to Prague this year, assuming (given no-fly policy) we'd need a full day each way, possibly overnight stays. But in March the European Sleeper Train extended to cover Brussels-Berlin-Prague, so we decided to try regular trains out, ES back...

Other examples of mellow fruitfulness doing a lot better, though:

How's your local blackberry situation? Bit ropey round here. A few early ones in July, but now it's gone a bit 2022 – either dry and seedy, or dried up before they even formed. But also, many still way off ripening, as seen here. This Comma is positively livid at the state of affairs.

Drinking it now, for the first time in ages. I do like it, but it's softer/smoother (cask) than I recall.Drinking it now, for the first time in ages. I do like it, but it's softer/smoother (cask) than I recall.

v3.4 is out! * Video * Disable autocorrect in search fields * Bug fixes Known issue: Delay when you press play to watch a video, and sometimes a glitch at the start. I find this really frustrating, but for now it is what it is. I hope to get a solution for this in a next release. 🧵1/4v3.4 is out! * Video * Disable autocorrect in search fields * Bug fixes Known issue: Delay when you press play to watch a video, and sometimes a glitch at the start.

It's starting to annoy me (pub gardens sound like cattle farms) but I'm also being tentatively self-analytical here... have I been doing it all along?It's starting to annoy me (pub gardens sound like cattle farms) but I'm also being tentatively self-analytical here... have I been doing it all along?

Wondering if any linguists have studied the recent phenomenon of (mostly Millennial and younger?) blokes going "yeahyeahyeah" as their standard form of agreement. The 2020s equivalent of the Aussie question intonation?Wondering if any linguists have studied the recent phenomenon of (mostly Millennial and younger?) blokes going "yeahyeahyeah" as their standard form of agreement.

Oh, and MGIF is truly bizarre on country lanes. On a lovely straight gentle downhill the other week, a prim elderly lady made damn sure to GIF... then pootled along at lower speed than I'd previously been going 🙄Oh, and MGIF is truly bizarre on country lanes.

My rides are mostly in rural Surrey, and Just One More applies to overtaking: there's always one who has to cut in far too tightly in front of me, while also giving the oncoming driver the fright of their life.My rides are mostly in rural Surrey, and Just One More applies to overtaking: there's always one who has to cut in far too tightly in front of me, while also giving the oncoming driver the fright of their life.
