it’s getting cold outside

Swimming on Sunday was again a little colder than the weekend before. The whole week had rather low temperatures even during the day. So this Sunday the lake water had around 8º C while the air was around 0º C.

Still managed to cross the lake without dying 😉

Procrastination finished

I finally finished my blog post about setting up SSH access with FIDO keys. That was in the drafts folder for a couple of months now. I’m using my two Token2 hardware tokens wherever possible now. Also for SSH connections. Tiny bit annoying to enter the PIN all the time, but better getting used to this additional layer of security.

Cleaning the cemetery in the village

On Saturday the people of the village joined forces to clean the cemetery of the fallen leaves and other stuff. We were also again cutting down some trees that have grown too much. Always a fun event working with these people. It’s a lovey mixture of old residents who spent almost their entire live in this tiny village and then “immigrants” of various age and place that either moved their or have a weekend home in the village. Everyone gets along really well and helps the community. Of course it’s celebrated with some beverages (mostly beer ) in the end.

The kids had fun jumping and diving into the large piles of leaves. The adults had fun using their machinery to cut and shred the trees :D.

In the background, there are traditional wooden buildings with tiled roofs, and a small bench is visible. The sky appears overcast, suggesting a chilly autumn day.

A wheelbarrow containing a blue snow shovel and a green rake is placed on grassy ground. In the background, a wooden fox sculpture sits atop a stack of wooden stones. The setting includes a grassy area with trees and a chain-link fence.
A grassy, tree-lined area with a small wooden structure that has a slanted roof on the right. There are a few gravestones in the background, indicating a cemetery setting. The sky is overcast, and the trees have sparse foliage, suggesting late autumn or early winter.

Two children are standing in the back of an open trailer attached to a parked car. They are wearing winter clothing, including hats and boots. The surroundings include a residential area with two houses and overcast skies. Leaves are scattered on the trailer floor.

In the afternoon some friends and I did an additional brief swimming session in the lake. The water hasn’t cooled much since last week. Was good enough for a short dip.

Calm lake with clear, shallow water in the foreground, surrounded by tall reeds on both sides. The distant shoreline features a forest of leafless trees under a cloudy sky.

PopChor is rocking on heavens door

Saturday evening we were attending a concert of the PopChor Templin. That was really nice. If it hadn’t started an hour later than originally scheduled, we would probably have stayed even longer for the two bands after the PopChor. Some impressions from their previous concerts this year can be found on YouTube.
