Monster fruit and good weekends

I spent my weekend on Orust, Sweden's third largest island, staying in a red cottage with white corners which had been gradually expanded over the years in just the right way for such a house. Low doors, autumn colours, good people, late mornings and lots of good food, what more can you ask for?

Back in normal life on Monday I walked around inexplicably grumpy for most of the day. Running, as usual, brought me back to normal. It just works, even when it feels more like heavily stumbling around in the dark without ever quite getting going than actual running. Winter time is upon us once again, hence the sudden increase in darkness and stumbling when trying to exercise. I'm thinking seriously about investing in a decent light so I won't have to skip running (or stumble around like this) just because the sun's set too early.

I'm typing this on Pomum, for a change. These older PowerBook keyboards feel a lot more different from Apple's recent aluminium keyboards than I remembered/thought before. The keys feel a bit softer on Pomum, and I think the distance they travel is a bit larger too. No opinion which is better (not right now anyway), but the difference is big to be sure.

Okay, not typing on Pomum anymore. There were ... other options worth trying, so I'm back on my usual white Apple keyboard. The feel of it doesn't particularly appeal to me, but something about it seems very right when it comes to the keys and my fingers. Things are in the right places. But then, this is the board I've done the most touch-typing training on ...

Today has been much more normal mood-wise. I've hummed along nicely, getting work done, purchasing external hard drives, having brief encounters with beautiful women, got home and got various little things off the to-do-list here too. All little stuff, but it adds up to a day feeling well spent.

I would also like to add that I feel this entry might be more understandable to very valued parts of the target audience who expressed their lack of connection with my last entry.

Aforementioned fruit

Pears, lots of pears.

And with that, I bid everyone a good night.
