Photo Post
The Snook stopped me after lunch today. “It looks like there’s a hole in the back of your jumper!” Upon investigation, yup. There’s a random increase that shouldn’t be there, smack in the middle of the back of a garment I finished OVER A YEAR AGO. Time to frog and reknit…
Edited 09/03/2025: Yeah, so that increase was supposed to be there, but I just forgot. I frogged it and moved the increase to a less visible spot.

@BugHunterSam Two years is a decent run, and enough time to see if it lines up with your career goals. Good on you for making the decision! I hope you’re able to find something that gets you in your preferred field. 🙂

@jennapederson @thebeebs It’s literally happened to me twice now, but upon investigation it was “subscribe and save” purchases that I completely forgot about. “Oh right! It *has* been 3 months since I ordered contact lens solution!”

Munich Cycling Challenge
Now that Spring is on the way — and we’re still in lockdown — I’ve decided that I need a goal to motivate me to get out and about. I’ve really been enjoying riding my bike (now that I’m in a city with decent cycling infrastructure), so let’s make it public: I’d like to cycle 1000km in 2021. 🚴♂️
Current progress from Strava:
Distance: 32.4km
Time: 2h 36m
Elev Gain: 93 m
Rides: 4Obviously I’m going to need to step it up if I’m going to come anywhere near the goal!
I went for a long ride yesterday to check out Südpark. Munich has a Westpark (near us), Südpark (not too far away), and Ostpark (on the other side of the city). Oddly enough, no Nordpark! The ride was just over 10km and most of it was on separated cycleways.
The park itself was pretty muddy, and I stuck to the paved tracks to avoid getting too dirty. There were folks out walking and riding bikes, and the playgrounds were full of kids. I’m sure it’ll be a lot prettier once it gets warmer and everything turns green!
Hilariously, on my way home I found myself following a dude who had honest-to-goodness glow-in-the-dark testicles hanging from his bike seat. 🙄
Last week I went on an even longer ride through the Altstadt and down along the Isar, making a giant loop.
I made it to the Marienplatz just in time to hear the Rathaus-Glockenspiel chiming. I’ve never seen the city so empty, but there were still a few folks (spread out, socially distancing) watching the show. There’s a rule in place that you have to wear a mask in the Altstadt, so I put mine on once I stopped.
You can ride quite a long way along the Isar. There are separated cycleways and pedestrian paths, and lots of folks were enjoying the sun.
It’s also been heartening to see the patches of crocuses appearing everywhere. It may still be chilly and damp, but Spring is definitely on the way!

@LareneLg @Amys_Kapers And that reminds me of someone yesterday who mentioned she is on @joinClubhouse but doesn’t use it much, because someone she had to block on multiple platforms “invited” her, and so his his name and avatar appears on her profile page. She can’t remove it, and it’s triggering. 😕
Redone sleeve. I LOVE IT! Much better now that the patterns *don’t* line up. ❤️ https://t.co/KCKmTzYMez
