      <description>&lt;p&gt;Had coffee downtown, walked a bit, then sat in front of Humboldt Forum. Sketched Berlin Fernsehturm at sunset, finished right before its lights were turned on.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Sitting on the balcony at the beginning of 2 weeks off of work. Finished reading: &lt;a href=&#34;https://micro.blog/books/9780760374580&#34;&gt;The World of Urban Sketching&lt;/a&gt; by Stephanie Bower 📚. Sketched Champi in &lt;a href=&#34;https://micro.dimurmurs.com/2026/07/15/sketched-champi-on-his-balcony/&#34;&gt;the same pose&lt;/a&gt; on his bed again on the same page. The laurel-cherry hedges have berries, I’m wondering when the courtyard blackbird will eat them.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Saw Football World Cup final ESP - ARG (1:0). It’s been a long five weeks; I ended up watching many more games than expected (missing mostly the matches after my bedtime) - quite a lot of my free time. Looking forward to what I’ll do with those hours and my full attention span in the coming weeks…&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Went downtown in the evening for dinner out of house - sat on a Hauptbahnhof terrace as the Sun and temperature were going down for the night. Walked afterwards with the Moon in near constant view.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Went downtown for coffee then walked through Prenzlauer Berg enjoying many performances for Fête de la Musique. Got home late at dusk but before dark making the most of this longest day.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;It’s humid out here on the balcony hours after the storm - and dark. I sat outside for a couple of hours reading, then I sketched our hawthorn courtyard tree in marker. Now that it’s starting to rain again, it’s time to go in and get ready to go out…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/288775/2026/img-0215.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;A purple ink drawing of a tree with numerous small branches and dots representing small leaves is depicted on a plain background.&#34;&gt;
