LinkedIn just recommended me a post about the Holy Week but it turned out to refer to something else than I had in mind 😅 Sorry 🚴🏽‍♂️

Patrick Bijsmans @patrickbijsmans.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

Back at the office after a productive week of #writing - with some nice walks to clear my mind

Patrick Bijsmans @patrickbijsmans.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

Completed the toughest marathon in 🇳🇱. Nearly 900 metres of ascent - not the whole country is as flat as a pancake and below sea level. Very muddy. Shoes only just made it to the end 😅 #trailrunning

Thanks to @hdijkstra.bsky.social for organising another great @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social ESPO writing retreat. Productive 2 days, finished first draft of new chapter - hopefully the rest of my writing week will be as productive 🤞🏼 And hopefully Hylke’s successor will keep this new tradition alive!
