They look comfy. I like that rounded look…reminds me of a certain series of pencils [cultpens.com]

There is only one kind in HK: unbearable.

It's quite incredible that people are wearing hoodies in this weather. 30°C and sunny…

It's a never-ending battle that I probably wouldn't mind too much with most of my family, who're far tidier than I am, but dad actually just has piles of stuff in the living room, dining room, and walk-in closet that he hasn't touched since we moved in and is unlikely to ever get around to "fixing". Not to mention the 4 or 5 large boxes of stuff stacked on the balcony, as well as another 5 in our other apartment. All electronics and bags.

It's getting to the point where I can't actually throw anything that's remotely usable (10 year old binders , etc.) out without him intercepting it and stacking it on top of one of his piles.

Cleaned up (out?) the stationary cupboard yesterday.

Now dad the hoarder is annoyed.

Rather difficult to put up with someone who hasn't thrown anything away in 10 years.

If you can't carry, stroll, and then go the whole nine yards — a full Pelican with extra bodies, batteries, long lenses, tripod…

as I recall, a beer in Scandinavia is always(?) accompanied by a glass of aquavit.

On the other hand, Scandinavian beer is as low alcohol as it gets.
