I haven’t managed an update to the site for a while for various good reasons. Here’s a quick peek into my chaos at the moment. I can’t write about everything for reasons I can explain later so here goes:
- My ancient Subaru broke its wishbones and ended up in the great gravel road in the sky
- I have had various interviews (more about this later) but did involve quite a lot of travelling
- Whilst exploring an area of interest my motorbike was totalled (link here) by a reversing SUV
- The ground floor and part of cellar of our house flooded and needed clearing
- The pool pump needed urgent repair and new filter setting up
- The horse needed to change stables at short notice (grrrr)
- We may be moving house soon, at least we’ve now got the ground floor cleared and dismantled due to flooding
- the pandemic appears to be picking up pace again after a lull (delta variant)
- both of my teams have departed the european championship prior to expectations
- I had an online meeting for a hundred people to prepare, organise and host
- we have a kids’ birthday party here tomorrow with various small guests
- some red deer and a wild rabbit family have moved into the bottom of the garden
- and the climate crisis seems to be so far advanced that it’s actually making headlines (good in a way but worrying)
On a positive note, my tomato project is moving along, here are some slightly older photos. Currently they have a frame to support them and are supported at intervals:

And the view down over the hills is still beautiful in the morning:
So I shall hang in there and just get the jobs done one by one. There will be a few new things to report soon and in case of any boredom seeping in, there’s always the German national elections bearing down on us in September 2021.
