  I'm continuing to study music. This time, in a new way. From a textbook, so to speak. Well, not exactly. From exercises. I have a whole bunch of instruments. Bass guitar, electric guitar, synthesizer, and voice. I'm mastering all of them. Progress is modest. And every now and then I need to write. And on Fridays, I spend time on what I call a song. This is preparation for a song.

  The last weekend in August. Which means summer is ending too. Of course, it's already cooler. It's already August. But it was quite chilly in the morning. I was already wondering – will this day be like summer? But the answer is yes! The day was bright and summery. The clouds parted, and the day had a bright summer sky. It was warm.

  Retrowave takes us back to the magical 80s. The era of synthesizers, 8-bit computers, and game consoles already boasting decent graphics. There's plenty to listen to and play. And VHS movies are on TV. A magical time. Synthesizers play music. And you relax. Master System invites us to visit that time again. To go back there. To the 80s.

One-page websites are developing. There are two websites, each one a single page. You can scroll through them, read, and look at pictures. This is Britney Spears Second Era, a website about the musician. And Highway Star, a website about an 8-bit Dendy cartridge, a racing game.

  I haven't played much computer games this year. But, as they say, I took part in the Steam sale. And I wanted to play computer games. On my computer. Atlas. And I got carried away one weekend. When I was at home and didn't have time to go to the countryside, I got lost in the game Terraria.

  Summer is ending. It's getting colder. But the day itself still feels like summer. I arrived at the countryside. There was a clear blue sky. And summer. Then, of course, around 4 PM. The sky clouded over. And it even rained. This time I was relaxing at the countryside. That is. I didn't do any gardening. I even thought about watering the plants, but the rain came and did that for me.
