It’s very pleasant to start a new week with a day off. The main reason was to study and to let the repairman in. Then a succession of events occurred:

• he called me in the early morning and let me know at what time he was going to arrive,
• I will be going to be on call from this evening on,
• According to the weather forecast, it was the last sunny day until God knows when.
• I couldn’t find any interactive or bottom-up way to study the security framework I needed.

Based on all the facts above, I invited some people for an evening BBQ, went out into the forest and rode my mountain bike,  bought some groceries to cook a nice salad, let the repairman fix the dishwasher, started some laundry, went out again to another forest, mowed the lawn, went shopping for BBQ food and finally had my guests.

Tam showed up to pick up his car, but unfortunately his battery was flat; since it’s a hybrid, it wasn’t possible to push it. Therefore, he stayed with us for dinner until his car could be fixed, which took about 1 minute and cost 100 Euros. At least he could enjoy some fish kebab, grilled mushrooms and other vegetables with us. It was nice to spend some time with some friends!

Ended the day doing 61 km of activities, including 48 km on my bike. Still 690 km to go this month and 6,428 km this year (7,042 km would be ideal if I can afford not to include non-bike sports as well). Too bad I won’t have as much free time this week for cycling…

Of course my mind wasn’t on security frameworks while mountain biking, but rather on organising some games on mountain bikes based on the snake game, which could be played in groups in the city centre or in the forest.
