    It’s the LAST DAY to nominate for the AWS Community Builders program! If you’re passionate about the AWS developer community, you should complete your application ASAP. https://t.co/Pwajgaej9G https://t.co/I4df6nYoWK


    @udondan @neil_kuan Ha! A bit of both really – people who are builders (of tech) and help create the wider AWS dev community


    My identity as a knitter has been defined by being too avant garde for the Sydney Royal Easter Show. BUT this will be my second year in a row without an entry (and corresponding rejection)! It’s like I don’t even know who I am anymore! 😱


    There is a very fine line between “That is the most hideous, cursed knitted garment I’ve ever seen” and “Ooh, I must make that,” and that, my friends, is where I live.


    @bmusedbystandr Brace yourself. https://t.co/2Ed616jCG1


    @randomknits It’s also itchy af. I could never wear it next to my skin.


    RT @Ankaman616: Release the knitwear line tho. That’s what we really need. https://t.co/pixmd6tBwR

    @BR3NDA Ew. I’d never heard of this one. So gross.


    @Mandy_Kerr Very useful when you’re trying to learn a foreign language too!

    @codepo8 Danke Kuh!!


    @SocialBobHQ You reckon? They’re actually knockoffs. 😂


    @Malarkey Holy crap, that photo *was* a GameBoy! That was my first thought when I saw it, but then I reconsidered and guessed it was something to do with a camera. That’s awesome. I have my old one but it’s dead. I wonder if I could crack it open and fix it… 🤔

    @The_McJones I went to Flemington Markets in Sydney once and bought like 2kg of peeled garlic. We lived like damn hell ass kings for a couple weeks, I tell ya.


    Phew. 27km bike ride south along the Isar to Grünwald today. Our longest yet! https://t.co/FVO4Ftd8CK https://t.co/ASHbkmZEvS


    Knitting with Kris! Time to finally cast on a new project… https://t.co/YTHlokdD6L https://t.co/qUfHtsXVVv


    @bmalum_ Bird sanctuary?? Didn’t know about that.


    Germans LOVE white asparagus. We’re still a bit early for the proper season, but I couldn’t resist when I saw some in the supermarket. My very own “salt bae” cooked it for us. ❤️ https://t.co/FYAP34dLi0


    @philnash Lol. Like my rant about Pants, yarn, and stitches the other day. (These are all computer-related things.)

    Blog post: We took advantage of the sunny day for a loooong bike ride (27km/17mi) south along the Isar all the way to Grünwald and back!

  • Grünwald

    Thanks to the crappy weather in the past few weeks, I’m falling behind on my 2021 cycling challenge. Today looked like a promising day for a ride though, so I somehow talked the Snook into joining me for a trip south along the Isar.

    Grünwald und zurück

    The bike path was wide and mostly flat, but we could also see mountain bike paths off to our left and a fair number of folks whizzing through the trees. We stopped every so often to have a drink of water and look at the scenery. There are a lot of channels (natural and man-made) and islands along the river, and it divides at various points into different streams that come back together.

    The Snook and the Isar

    We stopped next to the weir about halfway to Grünwald for a picnic lunch. We sat on the river stones and ate our sandwiches while the clear water trickled past. It was very pretty.

    Picnicking

    See that high bridge behind us? We did not relish the idea of figuring out how to get up there, so we decided to keep going to Grünwald and use the bridge there. It wasn’t far on the map, but those last few kms were tough. The nice flat path ends, and you end up on a fairly hilly and rocky bit with the mountain bikers. We walked most of that section, partly due to tiredness and partly for safety. (Our bikes aren’t really designed for off-roading!) See the spiky bits on the elevation chart? Yeah. That part.

    One last panorama of the river…

    We didn’t really check out Grünwald, but I did spot the castle high up on the hill. The ride home on the left bank was much flatter and easier, and we did the return trip without stopping. Final distance was 27.1km (16.8mi), bringing my total for 2021 to 79km. Poor Mr. Snook is cross-eyed from tiredness, and my face is the colour of my shirt! 😂
