I spent the past weekend in Amsterdam. I really enjoyed watching utility cyclists whizzing about or just ambling along. For large parts of the city, this also means less noise compared to other urban environments. Also, also I have a soft spot for the Dutch and their way of being. ❤️🇳🇱

PSA, for whomever needs it right now:
The five Tiffany Aching novels by Terry Pratchett have an audiobook edition read by Indira Varma (with Peter Serafinowicz for the Nac Mac Feegle) and it is *wonderful*.
[I listened to them through my public library and the Libby app, and maybe you can too?.]

Fair play to the picker who put this single piece of ginger into our grocery delivery. We DID ask for one (1), and this very much is it!

A person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic.
