Coffee and clarity. ☕️

Wednesday morning run after dropping my daughter off at school, followed by a coffee date with my wife at the local neighbourhood café by the canal.

With things being quite frustrating at work lately ahead of my departure in 2 weeks, this little Wednesday morning routine is exactly what I need for my own sanity before diving into the day.

A man wearing earphones is taking a selfie on a bridge near a river during a morning run, with Strava stats showing a distance of 6.73 km, time of 43 minutes 10 seconds, and a pace of 6:25 per km.A pedestrian bridge runs alongside a calm river with trees and buildings visible in the background under a clear sky.A calm river or canal flows through a cityscape with buildings on one side and a tree-lined walkway on the other, while a person walks along the water's edge.A man and a woman are sitting at an outdoor table near the water, with the woman eating a pastry and the man smiling at the camera.A partially eaten piece of chocolate cake and a cup of coffee rest on a wooden table with a blurred cyclist riding by a waterfront in the background.

Happy Apple OS upgrade day to all those who celebrate! 🍎 🖥️ 📱 🤖 ⚙️

Something I actually haven’t blogged about: a neighbor in the building next door was selling this vintage bike for a cool 50€. So I bought it, sent it down to the shop for some upgrades and maintenance, and now I’ve got a brand new Vintage bike. Very excited to ride it all over town for my solo trips & commutes!

As a huge Blink and Travis fan I have actually his memoir about a year ago, so the first half was essentially a visualizer from the book, but nonetheless, what a guy!

Stoked to have found tickets for the Paris Screening of NOFX’s documentary on Sept. 17!

A colorful, cartoon-style poster features caricatures of band members around a van and a pool, promoting the film 40 Years of Fuckin Up by NOFX.

Amazing day today with our friends/neighbors. Our daughters are born 6 months apart but will start school together next month, in the same class.

The day started with a children-friendly screening at the cinema (in the Kids Screening Room, co-designed with LEGO), a lovely picnic in the part, and — a guilty pleasure— the museum exhibition of the summer: Beyond The Streets, a street art retrospective at Villette !

A scene from an animated movie featuring a talking worm and a butterfly is being projected in a movie theater with a few people seated in the audience.A family is enjoying a picnic on a colorful blanket in a grassy park area with various items and a stroller nearby.A gallery space features various colorful artworks on the walls and people, including a woman pushing a stroller and a child walking alongside her, exploring the exhibits under the sign TAKI 183.A cozy, oversized cushioned seat with red and white stripes is set against a pink wall adorned with music event posters and a skateboard deck featuring a red and white design.A little girl in a blue dress holds hands with her reflection while standing in front of a mirrored wall filled with rows of colorful cans.A spacious art gallery features various contemporary artworks, including a colorful mural, whimsical cartoon-like characters on a display, and a black and white patterned installation that visitors are observing.Four pixelated alien figures are displayed on a wall, each created with contrasting colored squares on individual rectangular canvases.

We were missing a couple of (exciting) signings to wrap up the off-season, and this might just be it! #ParisPourParis
