I took this photo yesterday in the evening. The pond in the park is always so picturesque. 🖼️

This morning I was in a bit of a bad mood and got the idea that I needed to do some exercise again. I had taken a break for a week due to a cold. I also wanted to get out a bit because the weather was good. Then it was a spontaneous but perfect decision to go for a bike ride again.

There’s a big river nearby and another town about 30 km downstream, but there are regular trains from there. So I cycled the 30 km downstream at quite a fast pace on my non-electric city bike. I then took the train back.

It was definitely fun and a mood boost!

A few sheep are mowing the lawn in the park. And there is at least one lamb too! 🐑🐑🐑 “määähhh”

Nice weather, good mood. 😌 Spring is definitely my favorite season! 🌷

It was a bit cold and quite windy today, but otherwise the weather was beautiful with a clear and sunny sky.

I took advantage of this opportunity and used my pedelec again after a long time to do what I originally bought it for.

I bought it in 2018 (German blog post from back then) so that I didn’t always have to drive to university by car. I sometimes took the bus or train, but the public transport to the neighboring town 15 km away (Wolfenbüttel) wasn’t that great and the journey took a long time, especially at off-peak times (for example in the evening after the last lecture). A normal bike wasn’t a good alternative for me either, as I didn’t want to sit in the lecture hall sweating.

Anyway, today, after a very long time, I cycled past the university where I studied from 2017 to 2021 and completed my bachelor’s degree in computer science. From 2020, mostly just from home, pandemic and all…

It was kind of cool to stop by there again, I got a bit nostalgic. But I’m also kind of glad to have the degree behind me, as I mostly saw it more as a necessary prerequisite for my favorite job.

Everything in the park is covered under the white magic! ❄️

The water is still frozen and there’s some snow on top of the ice. ❄️

Forgot to post this… Frozen ❄️🥶

I captured the first real snow this winter this morning ❄️

The last week was really rainy, so I didn’t leave the flat much. And now walking at sunset time, everything looks so pretty.
