I've found the most chill goat at the Nizwa cattle market (at Nizwa, Oman)

Went to the Anselm Kiefer exhibit at the Royal Academy of Art yesterday afternoon. One of my favorite paintings was Die Orden der Nacht ("The Orders of the Night"), which has Kiefer gazing at sunflowers. This constellation of sunflowers serves as a conduit between the earthly and the celestial, and the painting is still resonating with me today. I dig. 

May we all be as happy at this dog dancing in the rain.

Everything you need for chocolate fondue (chocolate not pictured)

Stumbled across some goats while in the English countryside. They reminded me of Zenzi, my favorite Swiss goat who lived next door. 

An important test to see whether or not someone is worthy of being in your life

When I came home and my flatmate offered to cook me dinner

We went a tad bit overboard, but I enjoyed cooking, eating, and watching the World Cup final. We had over 12 items to eat, 33% of which fell into the desserts category. 

In honor of the World Cup I made some chocolate chip cookies. The entire flat smelled like goodness during the second half of the match. 

Dad bought me dinner tonight where we chatted over good food. His stories of me when I was younger made me laugh. 

Today I got to pair with Ben at Codebar. We refactored code and fixed a broken feature.  Not only did I learn a lot, but I got to implement a fairly cool feature.  I'm very fortunate that I get to pair with a senior developer every week.
