I have been trying to be more active in the last days, averaging around 16.000 steps each day, both treadmill supported but also more walks with Aika. Today I came across this blue net hanging ourside of a barn and I just could not figure out what it’s supposed to do.

I thought this is a decent picture of a Kohlmeise (google the english name yourself - not going to use it here) but then remembered Jasper’s pictures of birds (1, 2) he took and felt ashamed.

Fresh snow fell overnight, so naturally, you get a snow photo the next day. It has always been this way, and it always will be.

Love this kid. Kellin can take a half-broken toy, a pile of week-old snow and immerse himself in a new adventure so easily.

Cake

We needed to cancel Tilian’s kids birthday party on short notice due to last-minute guest-to-be cancellations of 66% of participants. Fortunately the cake was already prepared and needed to be taken care of appropriately.

I went back to the open-cast mining ground and found a great spot to photograph these massive steel giants that have scarred the landscape.

Hello Windpark my old friend! Next to walking in the mornings outside with the dog, I get to walk even more indoors now. We got a treadmill at home since yesterday and I spent my meeting-packed day walking.

Ambiguity

Ambiguity gets a bad reputation at work, and people treat it like something is broken. “There’s no clear direction.” “Leadership doesn’t have a plan.” I’ve sat in meetings where someone said exactly that, and I’ve read the same feedback in employee surveys for years. (And I take it somewhat personally as I am that “leadership”.)

Tilian’s 8th Birthday

Tilian turned 8! Time flies so fast. We spent the afternoon building a decommissioned LEGO (42097) set I have been hunting online for him for a while. The bags are not numbered!
