The option of renting a bike becomes interesting for me at 30 Euros per month (with a 3-month minimum commitment). Indeed, it costs me about the same to maintain or buy an old bike on ‘leboncoin.’ More importantly, I save time and have the opportunity to test a brand new bike.

I am glad I gave my last bit of energy before vacation. I have no mental energy left to do whatever is needed for my students’ exams. I saw on the board that most of my colleagues don’t even have a single grade for their little monsters. I guess they will pay the price in the last weeks.

It’s healthy to reset everything to factory settings from time to time. I just did that for my blog and my Garmin Fenix 6 Pro. I am also tired, even though I have everything ready for my students. I wanted to take this Monday off, just because I only have two classes.

There come the roses’ diseases, as usual. I think it was a bad choice to pick roses for this type of garden—not enough sunlight, not enough space, hence all the usual hard work for not much reward in the end. I also noticed a lot of cheap flowers that are being replaced very quickly.

April and May are tricky months to deal with when it comes to growing plants. You are eager to start your seeds and take your plants out; however, the temperature and the sun are on a roller coaster. From previous years, I chose not to hurry. The plants underwent unnecessary stress, and in the end, I had the same results without much work.

It is time to take these chilli trees out and let them enjoy the summer sun. They have outgrown the AeroGarden.

New machine and new location with the latest Canonical-Ubuntu-24.04-2025.03.28-0 for my blog! From the outside, nothing has changed thanks to the domain name: ptran.ddns.net. It is healthy to reinstall everything from scratch from time to time because of the technical knowledge required.
