Book: The Third Man, Graham Greene. A short thriller for the screen, set in post-war Vienna. Not bad, but ultimately rather unsubstantial.

Got another badge on Stack Overflow - http://tinyurl.com/3te7hj - now the addiction demands a Popular Question

Concert: Schütz and Distler, Nederlands Kamerkoor. The pro-version of Cappella Gabrieli is impressive, but modern classical is still horrid

Potato salad: I accidentally boiled the potatoes for 2 hours, but they're nicer than usual, so I guess that means I usually undercook them.

Book: JPod, Douglas Coupland. Microserfs updated for a new generation of geeks. Recognisable, funny and beautifully evil.
|

Off to Coffee Company for an hour, before choir practice later - concert with http://cappellagabrieli.nl/ soon

Book: Then We Came to the End, Joshua Ferris. Coupland meets Mad Men in this petty office drama. The plot is too little to late; mediocre.

Back in Rotterdam, slightly browner and much more chilled-out and rested; finished a fourth book for the week yesterday and swam in the Med

On a terrace facing Ajaccio's palm-lined boulevard; it's hot but a little early for pastis, so I'm making do with a pre-lunch white wine

Back at the beach after a nightmare hike down from the Foce d'Orto pass at 998m. Local beer really hitting spot.

Hiking around Piana, Corsica, earning today's lonzu and terrine de sanglier, on the way back to Porto

Indian summer: curry from Sangam last night, lunch in the sun at Entree today. Nice.
