November rain

It is a strange life we're living if the first proper November rain is the most exciting thing that has happened in quite a while...

Hm.

In times like these...

 ... I could write a long post about all the things I am not doing. Limited to our municipality and leaving the house only if necessary, my life is just an eventless uninspiring continuum.

But the Christmas cards are all finished waiting to be written.

My book is in press.

The terrace fence is painted. 

We do get out occasionally, staying away from everyone. What could be more appropriate than the middle of the river.

Perfect!

And .... again a cycling post. 

With Covid going on, the Giro and La Vuelta overlap for a few days.

So Slovenians managed to win two Grand Tour stages in one day :-D

Well done, Tratnik for winning the Giro stage and Roglič for winning the Vuelta stage.

We are so being spoilt by these guys!

Almost perfect

Imagine compiling a 326 page document in latex and ending up with:

0 errors, 0 warnings, 2 badboxes...

You cannot imagine how these two underfills bother me. But they are in the table of contents and I just gave up on tweaking the toc line spacing. Oh well.

Almost perfect. Almost happy.

Getting ready

I know it's only the middle of October but I so want this year to be over soon that I already started thinking about Christmas.

Plenty of presents are already ordered (and some already arrived!) and I even started making Christmas cards...

So this is probably the earliest Christmas card teaser ever:

:-)

The importance of understanding mathematics

Current situation is a perfect proof why people need to understand basic mathematics. 

Everybody - and I mean everybody - should know how an exponential curve behaves. Period.

A lovely late summer

What a lovely late summer/early autumn it is!

We are paddling:

 

And yes, this is a home-made kayak. 

Our corona-baby :-)

We are hiking:

We are cycling:

No, we are not bored.

And and and and ...Alaphilippe is the world champion! Me happy. Me very happy :-)

And Giro starts tomorrow!
