Plumbing

~ Veselin ~ 7 Comments

I hate plumbing but at the same time if a mild plumbing issue appears, I attack it like a Pitbull – fiercely and with a very mild competence. Today the toilet in our shared co-working space didn’t stop filling the water tank. I changed this thing and now it stops.

Little did I know that it can actually be regulated up and down, and when it doesn’t close the faucet, you can pull it down and potentially achieve the same without the new mechanism. I only discovered that when the new mechanism stopped filling the tank way too quickly. Still, the problem is solved, one way or another.

The Iron Bridge

Not a tourist attraction but I liked the view. The little one wanted to go there to buy a specific type of candy from a specific store right next to that bridge. Who am I to resist to an offer to walk 1 hour with no particular purpose?

We saw many snowdrops on the way to the bridge and back.

Onyx Storm: should I do this to myself?

~ Veselin ~ 11 Comments

Onyx Storm is out. Back in June, I ate books 1 and 2 of the series like ice cream on a hot summer day and rated both 4*/5. The problem is that this new book is huge, and 4/5 is not a very high rating for my blog. More like meh. Where do I draw the line when a series is interesting but flawed with plot holes bigger than TON 618?

365 Days

~ Veselin ~ 11 Comments

I challenged myself to do a 365-day blogging streak last year and managed to do it. I have to admit that I messed it up a few times mostly during trips, most recently 2 weeks ago in Agaete.

The blogging streak doesn’t work very well with timezone changes. You can be on a streak, come back home, and the streak is broken 5 times over the last 7 days. So I had to change post dates and slightly cheated to keep it going.
