  • Spreepark

    I snapped this on my phone while cycling past Berlin’s abandoned Spreepark amusement park today.

  • Template for inline skating events at Tempelhoferfeld

    We are meeting at Tempelhof [date TBA] to go inline skating. It would be great if you could join us 🙂 We are meeting at 2:00 pm (5pm is better if it’s hot).

    Levels: All levels are welcome. Lots of beginners join us, so don’t be shy 🙂

    Meeting point:
    We’ll meet in the Southwest corner of Tempelhofer Feld. I’ll be there with a bright red T-shirt on and a black cap (and skates obviously 😛 ).
    Closest public transport is S-Tempelhof (Südring S41/S42/S45) or U6-Tempelhof. It’s is about 3 minutes from the entrance of the S-Bahn across Tempelhofer Damm, then you enter the park, pass a few bicycle racks, continue the path to the right hand and then there is already the toilet container and next to it two concrete benches, where people will be busy changing their shoes (see the big blue X in the lower left hand corner below)

    What to bring:
    There is no changing and storage place at Tempelhofer Feld so you need to be in comfortable clothes already and you need to bring a small backpack to carry your shoes and other stuff. Some water, sun cream and sun glasses might be helpful.

    Equipment:
    Own inline skates required as there is no rental station nearby.

  • Potsdam bike trip

    Thanks to Craig for organising kick butt cycling trip to Potsdam 🙂

    The tastiest magharita pizza I’ve ever had!

  • Hate

    Well this escalated quickly! I responded to a question on Facebook regarding how to do deal with morons who ask extremely basic questions without bothering to search for an answer first. lol

  • Oslo winter 2018

    Oslo winter 2018

    I headed back to Oslo for the WordCamp Oslo conference, but also to visit some of my favourite humans.

    Thanks to Leah for providing the skiing clip of me. I have enough trouble staying upright on those darned skis let alone doing selfie videos 😉

  • Back skating at Schlachtensee

    I headed back to Schlachtensee for some skating again, this time with more than just me on the ice 🙂

  • Skating on Schlachtensee

    I went ice skating in Berlin today 🙂 Beautiful super thick super hard ice. I had the whole lake to myself except when a dad asked me if it was safe for his daughter to hop on for a photo opportunity.

    To my Berlin friends: Don’t try this unless you know what you are doing. There are some sections where you will just fall straight through the ice. There’s a picture in my video below of a hole which I stuck my hand into to confirm if the water was cold … it was indeed very cold!

  • Fish n chips with ice cream

    This is what happens when you order fish n chips from a drunk chef. Fish n chips, served with ice cream and a banana fritter. Not sure if genius or stupid. I enjoyed it very much 🙂

  • Lady Ryan

    I keep seeing people posting these photos on Facebook of themselves as the opposite gender. Everyone else becomes ugly opposite gender person.

    Lady Ryan on the other hand is totally HOTTTT!

    I guess when you start from a low point, you can only go up from there 🙂

  • Elena’s visit to Berlin

    Some pictures from a fun days worth of site seeing in berlin with Elena.
