Westland Boat Parade

Early in the afternoon Esme, some friends, and I went to see the Westland Boat Parade. The boats are decorated with flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

Later, when I got up, Esme spotted a tiny rodent. It ran towards her, she was still sitting, and nestled itself against her upper leg. Carefully I picked up the little animal and Esme took a few photos. I guess it's a common vole, Microtus arvalis. I moved the tiny animal to a safe spot in the shadow of a tree.

Dangit, Git!?!

Git is hard: messing up is easy, and figuring out how to fix your mistakes is impossible. Git documentation has this chicken and egg problem where you can't search for how to get yourself out of a mess, unless you already know the name of the thing you need to know about in order to fix your problem.

Nobody (2021)

A docile family man slowly reveals his true character after his house gets burgled by two petty thieves, which, coincidentally, leads him into a bloody war with a Russian crime boss.

In the evening Esme and I watched Nobody. I liked the movie, it reminded me a bit of the John Wick movies, and give it an 8 out of 10.
