Yesterday was my 35th birthday.

Here is a list of things I did and enjoyed, in no particular order:

  • drove my car to a nearby town and back
  • went rock climbing and the gym was almost empty
  • played some Death Stranding, and this sly devil Kojima had some surprises for me:
    • there was a happy birthday cake in the private room
    • Mads Mikkelsen wished me a happy birthday!
  • took my dog for a walk
  • rode my fixed gear bike to the shop
  • had some coffee, which I made in a moka pot
  • ate delicious pistachio-filled croissant
  • did some basic woodworking: cut an OSB board down and used it to mount a hangboard above a doorframe
  • talked with my parents on the phone
  • played some some Mario Kart with my wife
  • watched a silly-but-fun movie (The Fountain of Youth, 3/5)
  • watched a bit of Rouge One (fresh off Andor season 2) while sipping a nice rum (Sailor Jerry)
  • caught up on my language lessons

Simple pleasures. A great day.
