Such a lovely sunset during this evening’s 58km ride, you get three pictures, not just one 🥳

Add yesterday’s 67km ride & others earlier, and that makes for 232km this week. Which is decent, all things considered 🤷‍♂️

So the #EBU is trigger-happy about good manners and disqualifying the #Netherlands from the #Eurovision for, we can only assume, something like "I told you not to f****ing film me you slag" -Joost Klein-, whereas squeeky clean #genocide by #Israel is welcome with open arms, because you know, non-political innit! https://news.sky.com/story/eurovision-2024-netherlands-entrant-joost-klein-questioned-by-police-over-incident-dutch-media-reports-13133294

You'll definitely see much better pictures, but this is mine 🌞🤷‍♂️🙂

The massive sunspot group AR3664, one of the largest for years, has been flaring & chucking out massive amounts of particles towards us for days 💥😬✌️

Which is why there's a severe geomagnetic storm warning for tonight & a good chance of seeing aurorae way down south in Europe 🥳🤞

#Netherlands : I will never forget them for "Sha-la-lie, sha-la-la", Im glad they made up for that with their Eurovision win.

This year, Joost singing about Europapa and I really like it! Its quirky, its fun, its weird, its Eurovision!

#MayThe4th is #dutch rememberance day (#Dodenherdenking), May 5 is celebrated as day of liberation from the Nazi-regime (#Bevrijdingsdag).
It will be interesting to take part in the two minutes of silence at 20:00 for the first time, as a German visiting dutch friends.
Let’s not forget the progress in peace that has been made but appreciate and be part of it.

(And because you did know about #Maythe4thBeWithYou you now remember this information about the #Netherlands !-)
