Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

May 29, 2020. These flowers are overflowing out of the little garden right in front of the house. It was another scorcher today, and yet I was indoors all day working extra hard to get a bunch of stuff done https://flic.kr/p/2j6S3Bi

May 28, 2020. More record-breaking heat, and our 13-year old air conditioning unit has died and has to be replaced. These pandemic days have been really hard - not on us, but on our house, which for some reason has chosen these few months to show the signs of wear. https://flic.kr/p/2j6zYW9

May 27, 2020. I had big plans for today but instead spent the day writing a blog post. Time well spent, though. It was too hot outside to cycle, so I stayed in and comforted out cats - pictured here are Emma (top) and Charlemagne (bottom). https://flic.kr/p/2j6zWZU

May 26, 2020. The incredible heat wave continues. I made it out for a 25K ride in 33C heat. Today was otherwise planning and meeting day - I had sessions on Zoom, Teams and Meet. A multi-tool day. https://flic.kr/p/2j6CsKj

May 25, 2020. These are growing in our back yard. It was a bit cooler today so I took a rest day from cycling and focused on work - including exploring Deno and reading papers. https://flic.kr/p/2j5HS2S

April 24, 2020. This is a frog I saved from being squashed by traffic by herding it from the road to a nearby wetland. Today's ride felt tougher even though it was only 55 km, but then I found I did it at a pace of 19.4 kph which explains that. It was very hot and mostly sunny (= 2.5 litres of water consumed en route). https://flic.kr/p/2j5kfF4

May 23, 2020. I had a nice bounceback day today, cleaning my office to fight back against allergies, and doing a nice 66 km ride to Dunvegan (and a bit beyond) and back. My average speed was down to 17.2 kph, owing to the stiff breeze I was riding into, but I felt good the whole way. https://flic.kr/p/2j4VF1r
