We managed to arrive home in Freising today, just before the blistering part of the day. I think it was a good decision to drive early. I think it was also a good decision to not do much except hang out in the garden. It was a good decision to order delivery food. It’s alsoContinue reading “Home!”

Warm and sweaty
God, it’s warm today. We’re visiting my mother in the east of the Netherlands, just before driving back to Bavaria tonight and tomorrow – we’ll sleep somewhere halfway. This weather though. It’s no joke. Luckily, my mother set up a play pool for the kids, to their great appreciation. I have mixed feelings about theContinue reading “Warm and sweaty”
Castle
I spent my evening in a castle. A beautiful wedding. No time to write. Tired now. Short post today.
It’s not a bear, it’s not a pig, then what is it?
Today I spent our public holiday by visiting a local zoo with the family. Now, I thought I was pretty familiar with what’s going on in the animal kingdom, but today I found out about a new animal that I had never heard of, and am not even sure I needed to know about. AContinue reading “It’s not a bear, it’s not a pig, then what is it?”
Life happened
Not too long ago I had all the energy in the world. I could stay up late and wake up early. Drink and eat all I wanted. I would feel reasonably fit the next day. Fast forward to now. My God, I’m not sure what happened. Age happened. Kids happened. Life happened. Most days I’mContinue reading “Life happened”
Catching up instead of catching fish…
It was a beautiful late afternoon to go fishing. The sun shone bright against the deep blue sky. We decided to try our luck at the Maas, the river that gave the city of Maastricht its name. I’m not from here, and I don’t know this river. To be honest, it had also been aContinue reading “Catching up instead of catching fish…”
Empty your plate already!
If you find yourself throwing away perfectly good food, you’re an asshole. Let’s be clear about that. There, I said it. God this pisses me off so bad. I recently had a dinner with some people I thought I knew well. At the end of the otherwise excellent evening, they suggested we’d throw out aboutContinue reading “Empty your plate already!”
More pictures? More rants? More what?
WordPress statistics, as I have written about several times, are a weird thing. Unpredictable as hell. However for almost the entire time I’ve been daily blogging, one thing was almost a given. The number of views was pretty much double the number of visitors. I always saw this as a good sign: if visitors likedContinue reading “More pictures? More rants? More what?”
Same boat, etc.
I wrote yesterday’s post in the most horrible circumstances. We had arranged to meet up with Dutch friends with kids the same age as ours (under 3 and under 1). The location would be some kind of camping farm, or whatever. When we arrived yesterday evening, I brought the kids to bed, and this turnedContinue reading “Same boat, etc.”
Friday Findings – Volume 3
A short overview this week, although not for lack of interesting things that happened. Here are the highlights from my week in ecology: Collaborate – collaborations are vital in academia. You can do more together than alone, and multiple brains are smarter than one. It’s also much more fun to discuss and discover with others,Continue reading “Friday Findings – Volume 3”
