Springtime - Already!

My birdfeeders are empty or almost empty now... record high temperature of 16,5 C at Monday here north of Dröbak! So no snow left as you can see from my balcony. My flag pole has done it's duty for this Winter with much variety of temperatures (more than ever!) - I've shown that CO2 and aerosols together with increased mono cultures around the world must take the blame. It's very important that small turbulences are created in the air because of much variety in the landscapes, and not that still air or violently currents in the air dominate.

But instead of keeping a variety of landscapes and plants - like rocks, small hills and different bushes, people level the ground and burn those plants everywhere in an attempt to keep the landscape open - for more variety, the politicians say... but that is totally crazy! If we want a variety of landscapes, that must be done carefully and gradualy with plant eating animals and earth shifting and aeroating animals like wild boars and moles in their habitats with small hills outside the cities, which also could be transformed with green roofs, etc. A lot of ideas that cost just a little money and brain - but the politicians won't listen! Only a few environment friendly green parties understand this, but they seem never to get much influence most places (also here!) of the world.

Sadly no more ski trips for me this early of Spring, but that is a small sacrifice, of course. Luckily I have my roller skis - I started the season already today; I've never used those roller skis this early of a year before! With my Garmin Forerunner 310XT (picture above) I measured 8 km at 36 minutes and 11 km at 50 minutes - a speed of 13,3 / 13,2 km/h. Best result last year was 14,1 km/h - but that was later in the year, so I think I'll do better this year. Because of more unstable weather during the Winter, I have not been able to use my skis very much, so I have gained several extra kilos; now the scale show 88,5 kilos - ten kilos overweight! 3 - 4 times of roller skiing every week from now on!
