🎄 We now have a Christmas tree. A fake one! It was a present.

We will soon start putting up the decorations, and make some new ones with tinyMovieStar.

🌫 Smoky? Foggy?

Long story short, I was looking for a roasted chestnut vendor, and typed “smoky” on iOS’s photos thingy. These are some of the photos search uncovered.

You can find smoke on one of them.

🇺🇸 Jonathan is leaving for the US in a few minutes. tinyMovieStar will be very sad when she wakes up and finds out he’s not here anymore. We will all be a little sad today, in fact. But we have a party later!

Before that I had to drive back to the city with Jonathan, we all had a very late lunch, picked up the little one, and walked all the way to the venue.

🍿 Trolls 3 (Trolls Band Together) might be in our near future. As in “today” near future. That’s what I’m hearing coming out of the room where the movieStars are goofing around.


🤯 I suppose it’s a Child Classic all over the world: we have to wake up tinyMovieStar every single day. But, at the exact same time we do it, she’s already up today. Why? It’s a day off. No school, no work.

How do they do it?

☔ It rained a little, 15 years ago.

🥰 It’s been a while since movieStar has made an appearance!

🥱 Good thing I woke up a bit earlier, as there’s been a huge influx of people in Micro.blog. I suppose that POSSE article is working its magic.

Welcome, folks!

🚽 One of those “Oh, shit!” moments…

👀 Very slow photo day. Very slow day, altogether.

🏷 Import seems to be going fine. Sloooooooow, but fine. Next question? How do I batch tag 1200 posts??


📺 I will miss Patriot when I’m done with it. I’m on my second episode today, getting ready to start a third one…

"Though it all makes sense in retrospect, in the moment, the hairpin turns are hard to see coming. Yet that compelling, often comic intrigue is just the icing on a messed-up layer cake."

👨💻 Downloading the sticker spotter archive from Micro.blog. Will then try to upload said archive back to Micro.blog. Had to go back to the macOS side, since there’s no way to export/import without the app. No way to do it from a browser. Anyway, it should take a while.

🦥 Slept too much.


🤙🏼 Ready (-ish) to start a new week! Let’s go!!

Good morning, hope everyone has a nice one.


🦭 Almost dinner time, and we still haven’t found the courage needed to drive back to the city. We’ll have to, but…


🍹 Let me just say that drinking Poncha (Rum and Passion Fruit) instead of water, at meal time, makes you laugh a lot more….

🏊 Off to swimming class in a bit, then lunch with Mom&Dad, and the usual drive to the other parental unit. Still have my fingers crossed, I want that fireplace!

🤗 Not sure if I’ll end up doing it, but this kind of website maintenance/social media update part-time job would be cool. Work from home, looking at movieStar all the time…


👀 Back from the meeting, package also shipped already. Still doing the B&W thing, not entirely happy with this situation.

🦉 Still before sunrise, well aware it will not make it to the collection. It won’t even be worth a photo, most probably.

🥱 I guess we’re doing the “up before 6AM” thing again…

Bom dia!


I suppose a shoutout to shoutouts is also in order.

Every time someone visits the blog there’s a little “things I love” at the bottom of every page, and these are possible because @vincent made another cool service. I don’t praise it often, but it just keeps on working, 24/7.

Cool, right?
 https://shoutouts.lol/ https://micro.blog/vincent


🦘 Plans for tomorrow include dropping the little one off at school, meeting right after that, ship another Vinted sale, edit a few photos, pick up the little one. Busy.


👩🏻🎨 tinyMovieStar is back home. We all made it through the day.

🇲🇾 Still in Malaysia. At least in my dreams. Locked inside, with no photos to edit, means browsing the archive…

 https://maique.eu/uploads/2023/4c3c2c03-e301-413b-b688-5c6efa4a253c.jpg


🕺🏻 Smoooooth all the way to around the one minute fifteen seconds mark. Then it turns into something truly awesome!

I now have a dancing life goal!

🔥 Dreaming of Saturday. There will be a fireplace.


Using Dark Mustard theme with Kagi at the moment, but wondering if I should have a go at making a theme for it…

👀 Unable to walk around today, I just got this one quick shot when I ran to the supermarket for supplies. It’s going to be one boring day.

 https://maique.eu/uploads/2023/6249491d-5dc5-45b2-b666-7495d7d7556f.jpg


😆 Against all warnings, we did get in the car and drove the little one to school. We truly are rebels!

(Not really, though, it’s not even raining at the moment).


📺 Whenever I start using a new service, I’ll check to see if Matt has reviewed it.

Lucky me, he has a video about Kagi.
 https://micro.blog/mattbirchler https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=spiBZSPJReM


🕵♂ Used the hundred free searches with Kagi, now trying it with the Starter plan for a month.


🍝 Cooking Spaghetti Bolognese (or Bo-Log-Nay-Zee, as some would call it) for dinner. One of tinyMovieStar’s friends came over, and is staying for dinner, with her mom. Happy chef.


⛈ Tomorrow should be fun, as we’re already getting SMS weather warnings from the government. Non-essential travel should be avoided, and people should work from home, if possible.

Of course my only work-related meeting of the year, in person, is tomorrow.


I love what Studio Underd0g are doing.

"While it takes the World War II-era Dirty Dozen watches as inspiration, the quartet of new watches meets the brief in a playful way that only an underdog could."

🆘 As I feared, I have already asked for help...


👀 The rain is here, and so is the darker mood…

Just in time to keep up with @Gaby, and his B&W photos.

🎄 No! Just no!

tinyMovieStar: “But, Papi, it’s not Christmas yet…”

me: “Yes, my love. You’re only three, and even you are aware of that.”

💰 EyeEm seems to be back in business, after a stormy period.

I have received the money the owed me (today is half-a-beer day!), and I’m looking forward to the usual $0.03 per photo sales…

🧰 On Thursday I have a meeting, a friend wants me to help with social media management/website update and maintenance for her shop. Not sure if my skill set is adequate, but it would be a nice way to spend some down time.


🌧 Soon we’ll have a river running wild…

 https://maique.eu/uploads/2023/a7c35a12-e4b6-4c0e-9065-5a4f7c819e51.jpg


🚀 Exporting...! I'm one step away from not having to think about this assignment ever again. YAY.


🐌 Again trying to find excuses not to edit this today... But I have to... But... It's boring...


👨🏻💻 Dropping the little one at kindergarten, and then spending this lovely rainy day sitting down, editing photos.


🇯🇵 A subject that pops up regularly when driving with this particular friend, Japan. That led me to dig through the archive for unedited/less published photos.

🏡 Back home. Long day.

At one point I was one meter away from @crossingthethreshold, and didn’t see him, because I was texting him!

He saw me!

🔋 Some Tesla Superchargers are located in really nice spots.

👀 Going… See you later…

 https://maique.eu/uploads/2023/6e5b1fc2-80a8-4d6e-833e-3320e55a2afc.jpg


☕ Rise, and hopefully shine.

Didn’t get as much sleep as I wanted, or needed, or wished, but here we are. The time has come, let’s get up, get dressed, and walk out the door.

Day trip, will spend most of it on the road. And charging the car, since we’re taking the Tesla.

First move? Coffee!


😕 I’m back. tinyMovieStar woke up a couple of hours after going to bed, and came barging into my room. She snuggled for 5 minutes, then left.

Now I’m awake, and she’s back to sleep.


💤 Time to go, leaving early tomorrow.


😎 Test!


🗞 Recent events have brought me back into checking the news sites more often than I probably should.


🌧 We had lunch, have to get back to the city, but the weather is just whispering: take a nap…


😻 The usually late Caturday photo…

🍲 Family lunch, always awesome. We are very privileged. Big family, someone is bound to show up.

 https://shoptalkshow.com/586/ https://micro.blog/manton


👨🏻🏫 Having another espresso, and I’m ready for class.


🧐 4PM, not a single photo shot. Can’t remember the last time that happened.


🍏 We’ve been here before, multiple times, but it’s one of my pet peeves. I’m sorry Apple Maps sucks so much at actually navigating here, because the app looks SO good. No one else has this attention to detail!

Trees, crosswalks, everything looks so perfect. But follow directions = get fines.

Back in the day, I was happily making themes for Mona. Feels like a lifetime ago. Not even using the app anymore, thanks to icongate.

🐲 Slower day today, at least until I have to pick up the little one.


👀 Museum visit, and fog by the river. It was a very unexpected end of day.

⚽ Also, we’re watching the Beckham show. Even though we don’t like football at all, the show is so well made that we now love Beckham!


🕵🏻♂ So many photos to chose from, can’t decide on the ones I’m sharing. The museum visit was super cool, and the weather foggy right outside, by the river.


🖼 At the museum, seeing a piece for the second time. First sighting happened eight years ago, in Macao! Liked it much better then.


👌 Hand-picking hundreds of photos for the class on Friday...


🪂 Not the best assignment []or photo for that matter), but the look on this paratrooper’s face always makes me stop for a second, when I’m going through the archive…

🚁 No “Ride of the Valkyries” for us, but that helicopter at dawn, over the river, had the right vibes…

👟 Marathon Morning

⏰ True to form, here I found myself again: alarm set for 06:20, awake at 05:15!


📺 Watching "Patriot". Showed up on Prime, glad it did. Funny, quirky. And still a spy show.


🍃 Slower afternoon, even time to go visit Mint!


👀 Almost back home. But saw these this morning, when I was close to the venue.

❌ Don’t move!

 https://maique.eu/uploads/2023/86eb1a12-a657-4831-bde3-b4eff55b8cda.jpg


🚇 Here we (?) go. 08:30, not a lot of people around…

 https://maique.eu/uploads/2023/66792f9b-9d59-47c1-9f46-d7b09bb4345e.jpg


Others will have a very different Saturday. Still a bit odd to open The Guardian and find

"Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Palestinian group Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel on Saturday."

 https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/oct/07/hamas-launches-attack-on-israel-with-5000-rockets-live


🌄 Up early on a Saturday, getting ready to leave for today’s work. Should be a lot more fun than previous couple of days, with happier photos. See you later.


💖 To Love Is to Live

🏨 It was a rather uninteresting morning, photo wise. Heck, it was a rather uninteresting morning all together!

 https://maique.eu/uploads/2023/8bb5212b-5c74-4bf3-b6d0-8ae77bfbc07a.jpg


🏃♂ Not a runner myself, but the race takes place in one of my favourite roads in the country: the Marginal.

Cascais to Lisbon, see for yourself.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYWOFhcj34k


🎟 Quick assignment today as well. A press conference, and picking up the press credentials for the marathon while I’m there. Should take about an hour.

Before that I’m dropping tinyMovieStar off at kindergarten. She’s awesome, have I said this before?


🌳 Good Morning!

Let’s go, final push!

The Rat Catcher, 2023 - ★★★ https://maique.eu/2023/10/05/the-rat-catcher.html


🛴 Rode a scooter back home. Should have stopped a couple of times more, but I was rushing, and it was a 10,5Km ride.

🤔 Wondering if things are fixed already…

 https://maique.eu/uploads/2023/9bf8ae99-0ae3-459f-ae24-9d8cecea535c.jpg


🔋 Camera is charged, iPhone is charged (more important than camera today), Watch is charged, AirPods are charged, Power Bank is charged. I’ll have another coffee, and be on my way.


The Ringleader: The Case of the Bling Ring, 2023 - ★½ https://maique.eu/2023/10/05/the-ringleader-the.html


⏲ Waiting for my time to leave for today's small photo shoot.


😅 Yup, I guess it’s not a great day to share stuff on M.b. Things are a bit messed up… Hopefully better later today, otherwise I suppose it’s a postless day.


Bottoms, 2023 - ★★★★ https://maique.eu/2023/10/05/bottoms.html


🤓 Was curious about how good Holafly would work on the trip (still a couple of months in the future), so I thought about testing it in my own country. I have plenty of photos and videos to send in the next few days, so their unlimited plans are welcome.


😩 Slowly (very) making my way through the hundreds of very uninteresting photos from this assignment. Bored out of my mind.


👀 Another quick walk around the block, another package needed picking up. It doesn’t look like it, but these are super close to the other, more regular, photos I usually post. A different city, it seems.

 https://maique.eu/uploads/2023/b02cc4da-a62d-4f0a-9ce2-14b9566feaf4.jpg https://maique.eu/uploads/2023/9f259714-76fc-42a6-a20e-52f6a919a318.jpg https://maique.eu/uploads/2023/2eb58bf1-ea33-4ddc-87fe-18594610a5df.jpg https://maique.eu/uploads/2023/6d5c9792-9163-405d-9afc-c1b2ee97212d.jpg


👀 Perfect drop off at kindergarten today, no tears were shedded.

😫 On shampoo, and similar, labels… Could the font on those be any smaller? Am I the only one that showers without glasses, and has less than perfect vision? How many times have I wasted conditioner, while looking for the shampoo bottle?


🏃 Long day at the computer today, and then I'll have four days on Marathon assignment. Bye bye, weekend.

😅 Also, 8PM, 28ºC. Awesome, the end of the world is near.


🦖 Natural History Museum is having a Night at the Museum kind of thing, with loads of scientists showing off their work/schools. We went with the little one. She had a great time, as usual.

💔 Time to kill before another photo shoot, decided to check a place where we spent years of our lives. It’s full of tourist oriented stuff, almost all the OG places gone by now. Made me feel a bit sad, but tourists seem to be having a ball.

I guess it’s still cool, if you’ve never been.

⏰ Woke up with the watch alarm buzzing on my arm. First time in forever, as I’m always up before that.

Started adding places to the map already.

Seems like a good time to give Organic Maps a thorough test, even though we’ll have an internet connection the whole time we’re there (hearing good things about Holafly).

🍗 Odivelas https://maique.eu/2023/09/25/odivelas.html


Testing @heyloura’s M.b web client. First post 🙂
 https://micro.blog/heyloura


🥘 Arrived early, as I do. Now waiting for lunch at an Indian place. Smells delicious.


🚇 For now, though, let’s ride the Yellow Line to the end, and see what’s there!

I know, of course, what’s at the end! The opposite of a rainbow: Odivelas.

(Joking, Odivelas people!)


🇹🇷 🇯🇴 movieStar woke up and said we’re going to Istanbul, with a side trip to Petra. That’s that.

We were planning a 3-day trip to Rome, but that would be too expensive. So this is the alternative: further away, longer trip, and (much) more expensive.

She might have missed a couple of math classes.


👀 Before starting work, I’ll scroll down the September Photo Challenge timeline… So many nice ones!

🥈 When the word “flare” showed up on the calendar, I immediately thought about the photo I posted, a recent one featuring (what else?) the movieStars.

While checking the archive, this one was also a strong contender. But, obviously, when in doubt, the movieStars always win.

⏰ Woke up way too early. Went to work, shot another doctor, and was back home by sunrise, just in time to wake the movieStars up. Perfect.

👀 Back from this morning’s shoot, a quick (and mostly painless) one. Going a bit outside of the city, and not the best looking venue. Anyway, it’s done.

🥱 Good Morning, y’all!

Posting today’s photo next (sorry if you’ve seen this one already, it’s a classic), and off I go to a wonderful day in the exciting world of doctor portraiture.

See you later, have a good one.

I will use a classic, often seen, photo instead.

Failed.

🧸 From yesterday. So many still left, I suppose I’ll post them after we get back from today’s event.

🌧 Wedding day, waking up. Raining cats, dogs, and all sorts of other animals.


🖼 Attending an homage to a colleague in a while. Will probably try to catch some of the exhibitions before the main event.

🧧 While trying to pick a photo for RED, I came across hundreds from my redRules folder. Haven’t yet picked one for the challenge (even though I’m almost certain where I’ll land), but a HUGE gallery post is coming in a couple of minutes…

Get your data plan ready!

🍿 I really want to watch “The Deepest Breath”, but I was crying by the time the opening credits rolled by… Not sure I’m ready for this today.


🎟 Ok, we haven’t been here in a while as well, but I have some Bluesky invites. Is that something people are still looking for?


👰🏻 movieStar’s best friend is getting married on Saturday. She’s been living with her groom for many, MANY, years, and have a daughter, older than tinyMovieStar. She finally managed to talk him into it!

Weather today: sunny, clear sky, hot.

Weather on Saturday: cloudy, cold, wet!

🍎 Apple event later on, and all I can think about is I have to pick up a hat a friend left for me at the brewery.

It’s a new-in-box hat from said brewery, with the old logo.

And that is all I’m picking up today. That, and tinyMovieStar, of course.

We’re done.

🗣 Lucky me, tomorrow is Day Trip to Sevilla day! I was going around in circles thinking about the “language” prompt, and now it hit me: Spanish is super familiar, but it IS a different language!

🤨 Wondering if I should just post an old panorama before we leave, or hope for the best and try to get a new one when we get there. This is the biggest decision I have to make now. I guess it’s a good day.


😡 Someone I cannot stand? At all? Christine Lagarde. As soon as she shows up on the news, her arrogance front and center, I have to mute, and wait it out.

Not a lot of people have this effect on me.


🏖 Time to go, beach day ahead.
