Farewell, sweet Aeropress prince. 11 beautiful, caffeinated years together. We made I'd guess 5000 coffees together, all over the world. Your rubber seal thingy may have perished, but your memory never will.

Morning run views in the hills above St Peter - savouring this before we're back to Berlin!
Spectacular moonrise over the Black Forest tonight, phone camera never does it justice 😀
Morning run with a view in the Hochschwarzwald! Almost worth the endless uphill slog to get up here 😀
"What if, instead of warmups and stuff before the game, we unleashed the biggest wave of bullshit imaginable? What could that look like?"
Freiburg has some excellent selling points. You can be on a tram in the middle of the city, your child randomly asks to go on a cable car, and 20 minutes later...
Fun fact: 80% of nations could improve their World Cup performance, by learning this one weird trick FIFA don't want you to know.

Adding to the list of reasons why I think BER is actually a good airport
Spent a few days in Italy last week and of course the food was great overall, but holy smokes this little place next to the beach in Albisola. The friendly lady who runs it turns out the most beautiful seafood from her tiny kitchen. Look at these prawns! 📍Rosa dei Venti, Albisola 🇮🇹
A gorgeous run through the Wuhlheide in the cool after rain tonight. Berlin's green spaces are something quite special.
Sure, we could line up the crossing signals, that's one option. But we could also
Imagine being the person who discovered bread. "Hey what if I put this beige puffy ball in a hot place for half an hour oh that looks good oh that tastes good holy shit." I repeat: magic.

A stunning day in South Wales ☀️, the running up here was less fun 🥵 but still sort of fun.
Lots of drama across the Bundesliga on the last day, but I think the English Championship takes the prize. Southampton beat Middlesbrough in the playoff semi final last week, but just got kicked out, because they sent this master of disguise to spy on them before the game...
A fun report to write, for the first and last time this season! What a brilliant day that was. www.unionberlin.international/blog/fcu-fca... #fcunion #fcufca #unveu

This little corner of the Wuhlheide looking particularly vibrant at the moment
A draw dragged from the jaws of defeat. Not an easy watch, but that Burcu rocket sparked the most chaotic celebration I can remember in a long time. Eisern!
