Tester turned SRE. Love all things observability, figuring stuff out, learning, collaborating, pairing. And 📚, all day, every day.

So grateful for my life.

Regular reading is doing me good. Always cheerish Agatha Christie, and found a nice fantasy with kingfishers Nettle and Bone. Also finished another bike with poems - which I read in breaks during my volunteering gig.

August was a great reading month, all books were 4 stars or more. I really enjoyed how the reflective voice of Marlen Haushofers "Die Wand" resonates, even though it took ages to get through the book!

In July I started to track my pages read in a bit more detail, and just essentially read more overall (deleted Instagram from my phone 😉). Finally finished @annleckie.com 's "Ancillary Justice" which is just so so good. Mind-blowing, highly recommend.

Only one book in June, a sequel, Caroline Wahl, Windstärke 17. Too much going on, hoping for a better reading month in July!

Two surprise reads - didn't quite enjoy "Yellowface" as much as reviews suggested, and enjoyed "22 Bahnen" more than I thought I would.

Also a bit disrupted reading, as I've started to lend ebooks from my public library, so switched books whenever something got available 😜

Not as many books, not as many pages as in the previous months, but all very enjoyable. Marianne Bellottis book "Kill it with fire" about managing aging computer systems was an absolute highlight. 💙📚

March felt like a slower reading month. Lots of changes happening to keep me occupied elsewhere. I was happy whenever I could squeeze in books. Again, Agatha Christie is such a staple for me, glad she wrote enough to keep me company for years to come! 📚💙

"Luxury always comes at someone else's expense. One of the many advantages of civilization is that one doesn't have to generally see that, if one doesn't wish. You're free to enjoy its benefits without troubling your conscience."

Some stuff found decluttering my mum's house (she's moving):

* Slowworms, long dead
* Huge spiders, very much alive
* Drawings from her school days (50s-60s)
* Small soaps from about 30 different hotels
* things my Dad used back when he was detonating stuff (legally, safe)
* Hats, loads of them

“I don’t know anyone with Long Covid!”

I promise you that you do.

Long Covid is an invisible illness. You won’t know someone is impacted unless they choose to tell you.

Many folks hide their disabilities because the world is NOT kind to disabled people. Be an ally. Be someone we can confide in
