As it's 35°- 40°+ here now over the next week (and possibly until mid-August), it's time for my own "summer of coding" to start. Our company website badly needs a long overdue overhaul, so I plan to introduce dark mode, simplified navigation, less "clutter" & revised galleries amongst other things. Using @eleventy, Tailwind and Shoelace.

I'm hoping too that the calf injury will allow me to get some light hiking again (above 2000m+) soon.

My wife candidly snapped this a few days ago during a routine visit to the cardiologist. Clean bill of health!

Find it amazing that he can Bluetooth into my ICD (Implantable Automatic Defibrillator), tweak things & make adjustments. So lucky to have this device.

1. When heartbeat is too slow, it sends tiny electric signals to the heart.
2. When heartbeat is too fast or chaotic, it gives defibrillation shocks to stop the abnormal rhythm.
3. Works 24 hours a day.

Everyday use, I don't notice it

Grade 1 calf muscle tear. Puts me out of next week's mountain trip unfortunately 😭. It happened a couple of days ago after a big day in the hills. I felt it go walking up some small steps leading to our greenhouse. Easily done I'm afraid when the muscles are tired and I hadn't done any post exercise cooling down. Lesson learnt. Now for some weeks of post injury rehabilitation

Zamárraga, erigeron de Sierra Nevada (Erigeron frigidus)

We found this at 3460m on Mulhacen in Spain's Sierra Nevada mountain range. Endemic and critically endangered species. Lives on poorly developed stony schist soils in shaded areas. Not usually found below 3,000 meters of altitude but can bloom up to 3460m between June and September.

The Sierra Nevada Poppy (Papaver lapeyrousianum).

Only grows near the summit of Mulhacén at 3,381 meters of altitude. After the 8 months of snow has melted, and from cracks in the rocky slabs, a small creeping plant with hairy leaves and green stems emerges. A flower of red petals and yellow stamens is born. It blooms only for a few weeks between July and August. Endemic, endangered and precious! Lucky to see these yesterday.

It's a long time since I went up Mulhacén, in fact pre heart problem in 2019. First time to 3482m altitude on the highest mountain in mainland Spain. Of course, today we went up the finest way to the summit ... where the west ridge abuts against the north face. It's a hard pull from the Collado de Ciervo but worth it for the views to the left down to the diminutive Laguna de la Mosca

After a night in the hills I came back home to Lanjarón to be met by the towns annual week-long fiesta. A celebration of colour and noise. Senses a bit blown. Enjoyed it, but think I prefer the quiet of the hills.

Images from the last 2 days trip to visit "Lake with No Name" at 2900m altitude! A magical, serene place where nature ruled. Humans don't often visit here, if ever.

My head is filled with images and experiences from this trip, the stars overhead, the tumbling waters, the stillness, the Ibex and even the mid-morning break to make a cup of tea! Here are just a few digital ones from a mind blowing overnight camp.

We arrived at the "lake with no name" yesterday afternoon. At the exit of the lake a delightful stream fell out of the hidden valley. I don't normally take a tripod, yesterday I did. Meant I could slow the shot down and close the aperture. Came as a complete surprise when I saw the subsequent image and the path made by water droplets seemingly jumping out of the stream. I guess I will take my mini tripod wherever I go from now on 😀

My first overnight trip into the Sierra Nevada mountains since the Pacemaker implant starts tomorrow. Just one night camping by a remote lake. Haven't packed yet but target base weight is 5kg, water and food taking the overall backpack weight to under 8kg🤞 Looking forward to a night in the mountains

Thanks to everyone who reached out, fediDB.org and fediverse.info will remain online going forward.

I'm not going anywhere either, though I think I need a break from the fediverse for a few days.

Experience issues with the new Import from Instagram feature?

We will be shipping an update today that fixes a few issues and makes the process much faster!

Previous imports will be able to be cleared, and re-imported. A "Select All" button will also make it easier to select all posts!

I'm investigating the setting up of a small community for my local hiking group. A place we can share photos, arrange meets, discuss trips etc. Anybody got any suggestions or recommendations of what platform on the #Fediverse might suit?
