A short and rather quiet week. Helping out my coworkers in their project was a very welcome change of pace at work.

The allergies came back with a vengeance after I ran around all Easter weekend, telling everybody that I think the worst for this spring is over. So I spent most of my days in that weird antihistamine stupor, waiting for the rain that finally came today.

This weekend is quite motorsport-centric. The endurance race at Paul Ricard was very entertaining and rather exciting at the very end. And right now the new Revival Series race with old GT3 cars is going, what a spectacle.

I hope you had a good Easter weekend, mine was very relaxed indeed. Today a (very) short little “hike” with the family, a bit of picnic, an early return home and a long nap with wide open windows with the birds singing, I can’t complain.
(Yes, technically today is Monday and already the week of the next weeknotes, but all rules fly out of the window on these weekends when Monday is a public holiday.)

I started working on a new look for this website last week, but suddenly lost interest again. I hope I can find the momentum again. Otherwise this will end up like all the many other half-finished ideas and things will look the same for another couple of years.

A little family trip to Strasbourg crowned a week that was otherwise similarly mundane as the last couple of them. The city is well worth a visit, it’s very pretty indeed.

I started reading a Japanese whodunnit on Saturday which so far is very intriguing and quite different from the usual European ones I read. Apparently it’s part of a longer series, two of them have been translated so far.

After I added the human.json file I installed the browser plugin as well and it is quite interesting to see how many blogs out there are already setting this up. I might need to clean up my plugin and actually put it in the WP plugin repo. Even though the idea of doing that really doesn’t appeal to me at all.

Not much to report on this week. It was mostly cold and rainy, I got lost in Captain of Industry (yes, again. No, I don’t learn from past mistakes) and rewatched the first season of True Detective.

I almost bought something online and about half an hour after I asked the seller to use the marketplace’s secure payment system, I got an email that the seller has been kicked off the platform for fraud reasons.
At least I saved some money this way.
