It was a rainy day back at the office.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Anna practiced installing the Window’s operating system on an old computer we had.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
She also screwed her own laptop apart, as one of the fans had broken, and was making a very loud noise. The local shop didn’t have the correct spare part, and failed to order it, so it wasn’t until she’d moved to Denmark in the fall that she managed to fix the her laptop.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

We got a new fruit delivery, with a random sweet potato thrown in for good measure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Emma kept recording her home-reading.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Emma and I ended up at a cafe…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Anna’s summer plants kept growing under a random LED-lamp that I’d bought from Ikea a long time ago.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

A sewing club! Yay! Yum!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Random image from outside the gym. Spring was in the air.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
It looks like I squatted 100 kg. My squat depth has been pretty acceptably deep this year, but learning to optimally and correctly stiffen my torso, as well as trying not to collapse forward, has been this year’s focus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

It was a partial-solar-eclipse-day! I went hunting for some old film-stubs…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Out in the yard, buds were budding, in spite of the white on the ground.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

We drove over to Reykjanesb\u00e6r for a dinner with friends. They’d just reclaimed their old TV corner, after it had been temporarily walled off and made into a bedroom for the youngest one. As the oldest one recently moved out, it was no longer needed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

I have no idea why I took a photo of the lifting plates, unless this was after a rearrangement, where they finally took the wheels off the racks, so they were less wobbly?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Attempting to shine a light on the too-leggy miniature-sunflowers. Thus endeth March 2025!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
