  1. I learned a new German verb yesterday. Baumeln means sitting somewhere high and letting your legs swing in the air. There was a high bench with an info sign about the benefits of baumeln, so I tried. It’s very pleasant. Who knew there’s a special word for it ?

    The whole forest floor is covered with wild garlic. [I mean look at it](https://imgur.com/7WOCwRb). Sadly I still have 30 km to walk and some hours of train ride, so I can’t take any with me. We don’t have a bounty like this near my home.

  2. Pretty vivid northern lights last night, the [camera](https://i.imgur.com/rHgtmU0.jpeg) does see them a lot clearer than what they looked like to the eye. It’s been a really strong northern lights season this year, they’ve been a lot more visible this far south than what I can remember from other years.

    I took that photo last night at a place I used to go swimming at as a child. It’s in the south side of the city, actually a neighbouring municipality, at a place that has a lot of lakeside property and some of the most expensive homes in the whole region. That spot is nestled in the middle of them, a small peninsula that sticks out to the lake. It was always very quiet and there almost never was any people there.

    Now there is a public sauna there, it was built a few years ago. It provides a good service for the people, sure, but I’m kinda bummed that this spot isn’t the small less known heaven it used to be all those years ago. I’m experiencing nimbyism for a neighbourhood that isn’t even mine.

  3. Today is the day. My favourite college basketball team in the US play in the semi final of the tournament for the first time since 2005! – I think the game starts at 11:09pm for me, so I guess my sleep schedule will be suffering, not that it exists right now anyway…

    As for the infection ive been talking about, I still feel run down and exhausted, but it is finally clearing up, kind of mad that I missed the wrestling seminar I was supposed to train in today over it. >:(
