Finally managed to find the time to sort through the pictures from this year’s motorcycle trip. About time, too. The entire batch can be found at my gallery, but here’s a taste:

I am currently feeling slightly more stupid that I did just an hour ago.
Whatever possessed me to start experimenting with VBA in Excel?

First day back at work. Back in the dark and drizzly icebox called Stockholm. When people hear “Stockholm” most think of meter-high snow drifts, snow scooters and possibly polar bears prowling the streets. Sorry to say, there are no polar bears. And while snow and snow scooters most likely can be found further north, Stockholm is having none of it.

It’s bleak, is what it is. Typical northern-Germany-weather, except that it’s already pitch black at around 3pm. Coming back from sunshine and 25-30 degrees it’s all rather depressing.

So, the first day at work has been a bit of a challenge. Not ready to fit back into the 9-to-5 job and everyday life. It all feels a bit meaningless. Unreal.

Midlife crisis come knocking? Possibly. Maybe it’s time for a change.
