Today was the first day since a long time that the sun showed its face.
It's been very grey in the Netherlands for weeks so that was a welcome surprise.
Steemfat 3 is in full effect but I didn't feel like going to the gym this morning.
So I decided to have a 50-minute walk as a substitute.
It might not burn as many calories but a bit of sunshine on the face must be healthy too right?
I walked in a polder called Krimpenerwaard, which is not far from my house.
A polder is a big piece of land, surrounded by dikes, that has been pumped (early days windmills, now electro engines) free of water.
Basically a good example of what the Dutch are known for worldwide, water management.
The land is roughly 2-3 meters below sea level.
The sun was out and clear blue sky. It was beautiful.
Even though it's 'dry' land. We still need to have these levies all over to deal with the groundwater.
In the summer animals (cows mainly) walk free here and they put these grates on the paths so they can't cross them.
After the walk Bianca and I went for a drive to Bergambacht. It's a small city deep inside the Krimpernerwaard. It's an old town. Very quiet (especially on a Sunday) but nice.
I wanted to take Bianca to a place called 't Centrum. I go here sometimes with @s3rg3 too, for meetings.
Inside they have this old movie poster theme that I really like.
As per Steemfat I ordered fresh juice which again is no substitute for the best beverage in the world.
For lunch we had eggs. I ordered mine with roasted beef instead of cheese and bacon. It was delicious and I think healthy enough. There was even salad!
I think weather can affect my mood a lot. I love a bit of sun even though it can be cold. Makes me happy. And I think Bianca even more (she's from Brazil). We had a simple yet great day!
