Movie Log 🍿: Notes on a Scandal, 2006 - ★★★★
Enjoyed what I can only describe as pure chaos at the Lucha Libre in Mexico City earlier this week. Excellent fun and the biggest Micheladas you’ll ever see
The amazing architecture of Mitla, a Zapotec settlement in Oaxaca. Unbelievably preserved!
Finished reading: Strange Pictures by Uketsu 📚
A good mystery that reminded me of the game Hotel Dusk Room 215. It was engaging trying to piece things together.
The lovely streets of Puebla 🇲🇽
OK I’ve pushed an update to my Microwave theme that stops using FontAwesome icons and instead uses them from Bootstrap. When you get the chance to upgrade to 1.20.0, please do. If you see your icons stop working - it’s because …

I think I’ve had every lager available now
My themes all use fontawesome icons - but usage is starting to but up against the limits!
Looks like I need to find an alternative and update sharpish.

Finished reading: Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut 📚
A really interesting read. Felt like an exploration of PTSD. I’d be very interested to know where the autobiographical bits end and the fiction begins.
Stopped at a taco restaurant the other night and had what I think could be the meal of the trip. From now on, I would like all my meats cooked al pastor.
Día de los Muertos in Mexico City
We arrived in Mexico City on 1st November and thought we would go and have a look around to see what went on. Fortuitously, we’d decided to stay in Coyoacán which had shut down block upon block for the duration. The streets were packed with …
Finished reading: The Mercy of Gods by James S. A. Corey 📚
Some great universe building here, really enjoyable novel and I’m looking forward to more!

Travels in Guatemala 🇬🇹
The next destination on our journey was Guatemala. This is by a long shot the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. Sitting and watching volcanoes spit smoke whilst having breakfast is a very novel experience. With a lot of volcanoes comes a lot …
Next stop: Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Next on our travels was Costa Rica. We immediately became acquainted with the concept of Pura Vida and saw some of the most amazing wildlife I’ll likely ever get the chance to.
We saw a Green Sea Turtle crawl onto the beach and lay its eggs …
