2021-01-02 - New year and
first update
There are now 30 days
until we take over the new summerhouse. Tina has already
spend all of our money ten times on furniture and stuff. I
am more realistic and have only spend our money two times.
There is not much to do at this time other than just wait.
As we always do - we
keep to ourselves new years eve and watch movies. This year
we had a shrimp cocktail as starter. Then we had lamb chop
with potatoes and tzatziki. As dessert Tina made lemon
mousse.
It was super - Tina really knows her shit.
Afterward we first watch
the movie Tenet and then
The
midnight sky on NetFix. I think both movies were wired
in each in their own way. Tenet was kind of confusion and
the story was just a little to fantastic for my taste. The
midnight sky was okay - but way to slow at times.
On monday it was time
for the annual cleaning behind our shower cubicle. Last year
I left this metal cookie jar behind the shower, because it
was leaking just a little bit. That turned our to be a huge
mistake from my side. It was completely rusted and the
bottom just gave away when I pressed just a little. It had
also left a huge mark on the floor - what a bummer.
After a lot of polishing
with ceramic cleaner I almost got the mark reduced to almost
nothing. The main purpose of the cleaning was to check the
stop valves and to exercise them a little so they don't get
stuck.
On tuesday I took a 25
km long bike ride along my usual walking path. That was a
lot faster than walk but kind of busted my knee because my
saddle is adjusted wrong. At times I just fell so old'ish.
I have revived
my previous computer after a 2 year exile on the
attic. This machine is incredible. If think I build
it in 2010 or around that time. The motherboard is a
P6X58D Premium from Asus. It has a Core I7 in
LGA 1366 socket, 24 gb ram and a SSD drive. And it
still fells like it is way faster them my current
work laptop from work. The only reason I had to discard it was because
OpenSUSE
stopped supporting than socket. That is not a
problem as I only have installed Windows on it. The
plan is to bring the computer down to our coming
summerhouse. I the beginning we won't bring any
expensive stuff down there. |

Tomorrow sunday I plan
on doing yet another super long walk. I am not sure if my
legs will love that - but that's what they will get. The
weather forecast for sunday is around 3 degrees, little wind
and some sum now and then.
On monday it's back to
work - or back to work from home again. I really need to don
more workout and move around. I have aleast gained 4 kilos
this december. I cannot afford to buy new cloths one site
larger at this point and I really don't want to become fat.
My plan is to use Tina's
exercise bike way more until I can begin coming back to work
and enjoy my bike ride.
New top picture
I have changed the top
picture to yet another picture from my trip to Norway last
summer. I think the location is around
here.
chinese Corona news
This might sound stupid
- but that is exactly what I am experiencing. Many years ago
(>10) I had the flu and a sinusitis - I remembered it as a
tough one. Since then I have had problems with runny nose.
Especially in the morning. Sometime it can ruin a hole day.
But after I had Corona I have not had any problems with
runny nose. I am not concluding that Corona fixed my nose
but - just saying it is different. It could of cause also be
because there is less pollution in the air - but still, the
Corona was a turning point. |
