Journal Week 42, October 2026

Another week with its ups and downs, both health wise and weather wise. Some good bits, some nights when I had some sleep. And some very short, broken, nights, when I felt rather blh and beaten. The constant changing of the weather didn't help to much either, with the temperature and humidity swings. But, Koa and I have gotten through the week... Another week done and dusted. Onwards to the next one, where Koa will turn 8 months old.

It was yesterday - I had thoughts about and resilience and how we might use preparing for the worst as a good excuse to sneak in some good change while we're at it.

One Last Outdoor Shower

The weather is changing fast now. I noticed on the weather forecast that our temperatures might drop below 32F this coming weekend. So after my morning run, I took the last outdoor shower of this year. It was cold, as it supposed to be, but I felt good. In the back of my mind I was thinking that Im going to miss taking cold showers al aire libre..

I've been slowly working my way through Inktober prompts. More like practicetober for me. Playing around with diary comics, preliminary story ideas, and sketches, and initial panel ideas.

Journal Week 41, October 2026

Another mixed week, both weather wise, as sleep wise, as energy wise, as emotional wise... Heck, everything seemed to fluctuate from one side to another and then take a huge turn and change again. I would love it if there could be some more (positive) stability. I wish for more better nights, more rest, less pain, less struggles, and preferably, also less issues with controlling my emotions. It's been a bit of an usual week, as in that things are the same, in some kind of way... It would just be great if things would become a bit easier, a bit less challenging and difficult... But, never give up, never surrender... So, I just keep trying to go on, and hope that I'm doing the right things, and that things may (finally) start to get a bit better/easier/relaxed... A weather forecast graphic from Weer & Radar showing a 14-day trend for Herpen, dated 4 October 2026.The chart displays daytime maximum temperatures in red dots and overnight minimum temperatures in blue dots (in degrees Celsius), along with sunshine and rain indicators across 14 consecutive days starting on Monday:Week 1:Monday: High of 20C, low of 7C, sunny.Tuesday: High of 20C, low of 11C, sunny.Wednesday: High of 20C, low of 11C, sunny.Thursday: Noticeable drop with a high of 13C, low of 11C, two raindrops indicating rain, and overcast skies.Friday: High of 12C, low of 7C, one raindrop indicating light rain, with low sunshine.Saturday: Rebounding to a high of 16C, low of 11C, sunny.Sunday: High of 16C, low of 10C, sunny.Week 2:Monday: High of 17C, low of 10C, sunny.Tuesday: High of 16C, low of 8C, sunny.Wednesday: High of 16C, low of 7C, sunny.Thursday: High of 17C, low of 7C, sunny.Friday: High of 17C, low of 8C, sunny.Saturday: High of 16C, low of 6C, with low sunshine.Sunday: High of 16C, low of 6C, one raindrop indicating light rain, and low sunshine.Overall, the period starts warm at 20C, sees a brief cold and rainy dip mid-week around Thursday and Friday (down to 12C13C), and then settles into mild, mostly sunny autumn weather around 16C17C with chilly nights dropping into the single digits.Quick links to the days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday.

Little Memory 2.1 is out, with fixes that came from feedback on 2.0:

- Fixed a visual bug in iOS 27 where the paging dots didn't match the toolbar
- The import screen is clearer about the two toggles you need to turn on
- Opening a day in a large diary is faster
- On a 2nd device, the app now knows you have memories in iCloud and welcomes you back

Thanks to everyone who sent in bug reports and feedback.

I will be having a surgery very soon. Wish me luck!
I'll bring more as soon as I get back
In the meanwhile, does someone know what these Chinese words mean I'm really looking forward to understand more about their culture.

Another incident has taken place that illustrates the need to be careful what you tell AI. A Florida woman is facing felony charges after she used Claude as a diary and allegedly wrote that she planned to "shoot up" the Sheriff's office. After a human reviewer examined the statements, they were reported to police.
