The Shape of Paris by Brett Novak is my intro to the creative freestyle skateboarding of Andy Anderson. I appreciate flowing street style skating videos, and this one is not only a study of the athlete’s artistic and technical ability, but also a love letter to the city of Paris. (via kottke.org)
Finished reading: The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher - a new habit of mine as of this audiobook is reading on my weekend midday walks: very good, will continue 📚
Many cyclists (in groups or alone) on my midday walk. I plan to start getting out on my bike within the next few weeks as well…
Spent the sunny, warm day in Potsdam walking among the early flowers on the Freundschaftsinsel and the vibrant paintings at Museum Barberini in the Avant-Garde: Max Liebermann and Impressionism in Germany exhibition.




There are snowdrops in our courtyard once again, with more flowers this year - today I caught a glimpse of them from the ground level.
‘All you need is a chair and a view’: could daily ‘dusking’ make us healthier and happier?
In the Netherlands, dusking, or schemeren, was once an everyday ritual, with families sitting together to observe the end of the day and the coming of night.
Right now as winter comes to an end I‘m nearing the dusktime during work, but I‘ll start walking around that time soon and see how it is - we often take night walks, which are nice, but I do love a good twilight…
Found a front yard full of my first flowers of the season (on today’s first day of meteorological spring): purple crocuses, snowdrops, and winter jasmine blossoms on a walk under fair weather clouds


Inkwell RSS reader by @manton (beta) is great, has got me reading through feed posts that I’d been skipping over elsewhere. The in-browser flow fits in well with Micro.blog-ing - I was wishing for a bookmarks/posting functionality, and it’s all there. However making highlights doesn’t work on iPad.
First outdoor café visits of the pre-spring season - 18C and sunny - and long walks downtown and back this weekend
Currently reading the audiobook: The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher - started listening a couple nights ago while the Champions League game Bayer Leverkusen - Olympiakos Piraeus (0:0) was on in the background 📚
