I've been holed up at home for two days, because the weather wasn't exactly conducive to long walks. And besides, I has been binging on Gomorrah.

Originally, I planned to go to Hamburg to catch a Beluga. But I really didn't feel like I was up to it, and I cancelled the trip. Instead, I decided to go for a day trip — surprise, surprise! — to FRA. I didn't have any specific objective. But the weather was nice, and RWY 07C was used for departures (which doesn't...

Tinble now shows the contents of the preamble.md file right under the navigation menu. The file could contain a quote of the day, a description of the blog, a current status, and pretty much anything else. Right now, I use this featurette to show what I'm currently reading.
