Premier Inn City Center Hotel and restaurant Meridiano Regensburg
During our summer vacation we went to Croatia. On our way to Croatia we made a first stop to sleep at the Premier Inn in Regensburg. It is called the City Center Hotel but the neighbourhood looked more like some kind of business district with very little activity when we arrived. That probably explained the…

My Journey to 500K: Running Challenges and Consistency
Ever since I started running again in 2020 during the Covid shut down I have been struggling to keep the momentum going over the year. I had set my yearly target in Strava at 500k but there always seemed to be something to make me ‘stumble’ and stop running for a while. So last year…

Exploring the Navigo Museum: A Fisherman’s History
Last week we visited the Navigo museum in Nieuwpoort. We last visited it a number of years ago when they had a photo expo from Stephan Vanfleteren. Since then the museum has modernised the presentation of its collection and is well worth a visit even if you visited in the past like us. The museum…

Easy Indoor Gardening with Auk Mini: My Experience
I have been thinking about growing vegetables for a while but never really committed to the idea. We have a lot of snails in our garden and the few vegetables we have planted have been eaten by the snails more often than not. Two years ago we managed to gets some courgettes which was nice.…

Goodbye to my Old Mac Pro trash can
A little while ago I decided it finally was time to replace my old Mac Pro from 2013, also known as the trash can. The model got a lot of negative criticism because of the radical design which limited ‘upgrade’ options severely compared to previous and subsequent Mac Pro models. As I can hardly be…
