Sunday: 2°C outside (felt like -1) and figured it was a good time for a hike in the woods, hills, and fields of #Bavaria on a trail I've been eyeing for a couple of years now. Muddy trails for about half the distance but easily negotiated.🚶‍♂️🌲
Would've liked if the walk was longer but 10.7kms felt good, especially after a 2-month break in any such activity.

How cold is it outside?
This is our #refrigerator for 3 weeks: Just leaving things outside on the balcony, under a very warm blanket.🥶
In fact, it got so cold in the last few days that we had to bring things back indoors so they don't freeze too much.🥶🥶
