March 2019

45 photos – Published on Dec 29, 2019

March was a mixed bag. I was doing lots of trips back and forth between Ratingen and Düsseldorf, preparing the move into our new apartment. Plus, I started a new/old job again, being busy working full time again.

In between, we or I visited family and friends for birthdays, I “celebrated” my own, the camper required maintenance – and of course spending time with Zoe is always on the list.

Had to eventually buy a new Mac. The old one continued to fail on me. It was getting very impractical and annoying, so I needed something reliable again.

It’s a refurbished 2018 MacBook Pro 13 inch with 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM. Sweet machine (apart from the keyboard maybe). And much smaller and lighter than my previous 15-inch MBP. Setting it up right there in the Apple Store.

The main task for the new flat was to add a completely new kitchen. And we were pretty fast on the planning and buying. But putting it all together streched out across the whole month and seemed almost never-ending. Fortunately I had the occasional helping hand – thanks Bernd and Sina! – without which we wouldn’t have had a functional kitchen by the move-in date at the end of the month.
