So I was meant to be at a work thing in Vietnam this week, but it got canceled. Upside: I get to skip the 10hr flights and stress. Downside: No team Hollywood dress-up dinner, which means I bought this sweet yellow tracksuit for nothing. (Ninja sword not pictured.) #killbill #thebride
Made it to colour #3 in the gradient! That’s the collar at the top, and I’m increasing as it extends down over the shoulders. #knitting #SugarMaple
Started a new project… Sugar Maple Tee in Hobbii Twister. Love those colours! #knitting 🧶
Many thanks to the local election boards across the US who make it possible for overseas citizens to exercise their right to vote. ❤️🇺🇸 (And also to @votefromabroad and @demsabroadgermany for making it easy to request my ballot each time.)
We are now playing the “drink down the bar and eat up the pantry” game before we leave Germany. I came out of my office after a meeting today to the most wonderful smell… Chocolate sprinkle cookies made by the Snook! 😍🍪
We booked our plane tickets back to Sydney for next month. Now every time I do something in Munich, I think about the fact that it might be the last time.
(I made the mistake of saying that to Rodd the other day. He pointed out that, you know, that’s true for everything all the time. I told him to quit being so morbid.)
Anyway, all that is to say I went for an Autumn ride along the Isar today, and I was very conscious that it might be my last long ride here, so I should savour it. I stopped to take several photos. 🍁🍂🚴♀️
I ducked into the Englischer Garten for part of the ride home.
I walked my bike through the Altstadt, where I was happy to see the Christmas tree is set up in front of the Rathaus!
I also grabbed a sunset photo of the Rindermarkt, one of the prettiest decorated buildings in Munich.
Here’s my ride on Strava if you want to have a look at the route.
Dinner tonight: sous vide pork loin with white wine caper sauce (made by Rodd), with roasted broccoli and honey glazed carrots (made by me).
“How to Join Mastodon, the Ad-Free Social Network Billionaires Can’t Buy”
I read that article earlier this week and it helped me finally understand how Mastodon’s decentralisation works. I’ve set up an account on @aus.social and I’m playing around with my profile and following folks. If you’re over there, please connect! I’m @web_goddess@aus.social. 🐘
