I am very hesitant in deciding whether or not to sell the aji here (this will remove possibilities of, say, "a" as below), but I think it's big enough to be worth it?

I forgot the charging cable for my laptop at my work as student assistant. Since it's Friday I have weekend without much laptop time in front of me. Therefore I might be unable to post much moves.

I think I have to link up my stones now, because I fear his groub is stable enough to cut where I played now. I don't thnk he'll protect his territory now because it doesn't seem to be that big and he gets an ugly empty triangle. Linking up while reducing his territory here a little bit was my idea here. Some better explanation will come at Monday I hope.

Can white aim to make points in the centre-right somehow? I don't really like the game much anyway; the two stones were forcing moves, and 'a' remains..

Working with the idea that the squared group is weak, I'd like to play this 50 and pretend to attack (alternately: attack) the circled stone before perhaps trying my other sequence: Problem is, maybe not forcing enough. Revisiting the left seems kind of desirable.

I had a lot of trouble deciding whether or not to tenuki. But I think the block will be double gote (if white did not exchange the last few moves, then the block will probably have been annoying to ignore), and even though it's about 20 points it's just yose. I've been a bit worried about this for a while now, so would like to make this part territory. The last thing I'm worried about is a wedge between my 1 point jumps on top, but after I take gote from this sequence white will probably block on the right side and I can decide if the the wedge is a big issue (I always have a lot of trouble with those cuts - when I try them they fail miserable, when my opponents try them they work spectacularly :p).

It might be that he can't attack my territoy at the side as good as he can now, but I don't see a good way to link up my groupes here and I don't get the reduction I got in the game. Let's look at the current situation. I think I can't tennuki which leaves me with two options:

I prefer Dia. 3 because something in the area around 'a' might be better without the solid wall he gets at Dia.2. Besides Dia. 3 is better for the endgame

Whhops Correct, somehow I forgot that black shouldn't play the hane at Dia.2 What I had in mind while writing was this:

I'm not sure whether I should be happy with his last move or not. It's not as ative a my idea, but it's a good defense against something around 'a' Now my idea is to give him strongness were he wants force him into an overconcentrated form. While I do this I want to build up some territory in the middle. Her is a possible sequence:

Of course he has some reduction moves, but I'll look for an opening if he reduces. Until now this game was very peaceful, but I feel the position is not the best. So I'll look for a position to complicate things but I won't rush things where I see no way to win the fight. Maybe one can see this sequence as an invitation to make a dangerous move.

Feels a bit aji-keshi. I was a bit worried about weaknesses in my shape at bottom, but not any more. I guess white is trying to make something out of N8 area, but I think better to just play the other side directly as this cover will be sente regardless.
much anyway; the two stones were forcing moves, and 'a' remains..
Correct, somehow I forgot that black shouldn't play the hane at Dia.2 
What I had in mind while writing was this:
at 'a' would be better in this game and I still prefer Dia.3
