This is my favorite ice cream, and one of the very few things I missed in Germany. This ice cream is usually hard to come by, so I was surprised to discover it in our mini supermarket

I moved all my self-hosted applications (including this one) to my own server, so here's another snapshot of pretty flowers in our garden.

Tulips in our garden decided it's time to blossom.

It's a long, long way till we have a bird- and insect-friendly garden. But this simple and cheap bird feeder is a modest first step towards this noble goal.

Malene brought me these socks from London, and they sum up how I'm feeling about work pretty nicely.

I've been feeling a bit down, but thankfully the weather improved and I could do some gardening — the best way to lift my spirits.

ME: I can't imagine it can get any worse than the 12m/s winds we had today. /checks forecast for tomorrow FUCKING HELL!

Ahhh, the joy of being a freelancer. You get up in the morning, and spend hours researching, compiling, 3D printing... what exactly? A [Bongo Cat](https://makerworld.com/en/models/1654522-bongo-cat-mini-monitor-animated-esp32-display#profileId-1749680). Why? Because why the heck not?

That was actually a pretty convincing attempt at Bock beer. Then again, it was brewed with German hops, so no surprises there.

Immortal Pizza Alas, it didn't live up to its name. The business is very much dead, and the sign says "TO LET".

I spent this morning working on the cabinet. It turned out that wood filler is all but impossible to apply evenly. But the result is good enough for me (no one would see it anyway). The most important thing it stops further damage. Also, the wood filler tube says "Brown color". Some needs to have their eyes checked.

From the "I snatched victory from the jaws of defeat" department: Naively, I thought I could simply replace regular flour with whole-corn flour. I set out to bake another batch of bread rolls, but this time with whole-corn flour. I mixed everything, but to my horror, the mixture looked more like soggy porridge than sticky dough. To solve the problem, I added two handfuls of regular flour, hoping this would make the mixture more dough-like. Surprisingly, it worked! Next time, I should probably use a 50/50 mix, though.
