A House of Dynamite
Watched this movie on Netflix after having read about it in the paper. In the movie a single unattributed nuclear missile is launched at the US. The whole movie tells the story what happens in the 20 minutes between launch detection and impact. It is a good thriller for the first 40 minutes at least.…

The Auk adventure continues
A few weeks ago the first cherry tomatoes started to appear. Now there are more and bigger ones on the plant but all are still very green. Also, my other 2 plants are starting to bear fruit although it is too early to tell with certainty which one is the pepper plant and which one…

Growing Cherry Tomatoes in Your Auk Mini
Some time ago I mentioned I had switched from basil and parsley in my Auk mini to cherry tomatoes, chilli peppers and some mini peppers. After 2 weeks I saw the first sprouts and by now the tomato plant is a giant dwarfing the other 2. Luckily I could decide on what would go into…

Very friendly staff and prices are good, eating here will not break your bank account. They serve traditional dishes, Brussels…

Unexpected Fun: Solving Sudoku Killer in Winter
Recently I had trouble to keep up the weekly running frequency due to the cold. Last 2 weeks temperatures dropped close to freezing point and on top of that it started snowing for almost a week. Luckily I still had some days off so I didn’t have to endure snow triggered traffic jams. Luckily our…

Ulm
Traveling home from Croatia we stopped again in Ulm after leaving Lesce. Lesce to Ulm was a little over 500 km and took us most of the day. Looking for a place for lunch we ended up in restaurant Senses in Siegsdorf in Germany, just across the border with Austria. This turned out to be…

Exploring Lake Bled: A Scenic Walking Route
On our only full day in Lesce we want to go for a walk around the famous lake of Bled. We could go on foot from our apartment but the 5,5km doesn’t look very scenic which is why we prefer to take the car and park about a km away from the lake. Unfortunately there…
