Everything in my breakfast bowl is grown or made locally here in Izmir. To top it all, I’ve just hacked off a chunk of local honey from a slab of honeycomb.

I have no idea where my usual breakfast is made before it reaches my kitchen.

"Every man should take his 40th year off."

Steve Biddulph


Personally, I took the years off between 1990 an 1999. I thought it best not to wait to have an adventure. I’m glad I did because this year, my 40th, feels like the first year I’ve really had to work.

A dream of coffee & time travel.

I’m writing this in bed having just woken up. I’m worried that if I don’t record it i’ll forget it. And it’s too weird for me to let it be overwritten by the mundane.

The dream.

While walking past a street vendor selling coffee from what looked likes small steamroller, he attracted my attention with a “pssst” and handed me a freshly made ‘flat white’.

As I went to sip I noticed a treasure map in the coffee art. The man said memorise and drink. I did. It didnt taste like coffee.

The directions took me to an almost empty warehouse, but for a man standing next to what looked like an upright tanning machine.

He told me I had to deliver a message to a lady in the past. A lady who was going to save all people.

For some reason this felt like something I had done before and with an overwhelming sense of deja vu I stepped into the machine.

There was a flash and I was standing in a puddle, outside a bar in Newcastle. A man who i think was me called me inside and told me I needed to record some words from a girl he was pointing at. It was @jennifergardy.

The dream ended with me and @jennifergardy standing in the rain as she recited me a rhyme about germs.

I woke feeling a little freaked out as some of this has actually happened.


I think I’m going to scrutinise all coffee art from now on.

Just in case it happens again.

Curiosity.

Curiosity.

Taking off, next stop London.

This is the @TomBihn Aeronaut nearly fully loaded. There is still room for all the hotel towels and the small flat screen tv.
This could get uncomfortable should you need to run from said hotel so I use the back straps included.

My @TomBihn 3D clear organiser cube is offering me a fragrant dose of luxury in an otherwise grotty hotel room.

Last week I wasn’t prepared for this hotels meagre facilities. A slither of soap and a plastic cup.

This week I took delivery of some Tom Bihn goodies and uncertain of what this particular pouch was for, the included hook and transparent sides makes it perfect for a wash kit.

I can now imagine i’m in a respectable hotel at the same time as protecting my toothpaste from hungry cockroaches.
