@smveerman @maartje @Stephanie @jessebot Chocopasta bevalt goed, gebruik de chocopasta puur nu toch al weer sinds februari. Fleur de sel is voor mijn (niet altijd even verfijnde) smaak net iets te veel.

4 potten AH delicata chocopasta, 3 keer puur en 1 keer puur fleur de sel

Day 18: Resolve a note: Might keep this to one note today, since my brain decided to add way too much detail, though at least it looks pretty now. www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/190…

And a small extra bonus for day 16, I mapped some remaining landuse.

Day 16: Americas: Decided to take some inspiration from @juminet and map my local "Amerikaweg". Due to it's length, the before and after maps looked the same, so skipping them today. www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/190… #31DayOSMChallenge #Maptober

[Off-topic, border controls] While going home via one of the local roads, did notice some police officers standing at the first bus stop after the border, most likely ready to stop the local bus 620 (which still runs every hour despite trains running again), so it seems they're still wasting […]

Day 11: Street-level photos: Maybe it's the excellent quality aerial imagery, but I don't often use street-level photos during mapping. It definitely has it's use cases, hence why I've also captured and uploaded some myself (I really need to get started again). But anyway, I'm getting off track […]

Gamble paid off, home early, and got to ride my favorite bus on my favorite bus line. Though next time I'd like a transfer that has more than 50 seconds, especially when having to traverse a big intersection. Also, after one taxi (💲), two trains and four buses I'm back home, and very tired.

Probably choosing the scenic route, it has fewer waiting time (maybe)

Now in a bus to Gieten and I'm a bit unsure what to do, I can either go home directly and save 15 minutes, go home via a bus that's now diverted along the old railway from Assen to Gieten, or I can take a scenic route via the beautiful Balloerveld... Choices are hard

In Winschoten, the first two train to Groningen are cancelled and, the first one to Leer as well, so I've bent of my original route, and am going via Stadskanaal and Gieten. Not necessarily faster, but I don't want to wait another twenty minutes.

[Rant: Timetables + border controls] Probably best to ignore the fact that there are only 2 trains per direction per day on weekdays, the rest of the day a change in Winschoten (or Bad Nieuweschans) is required, adding an extra 15 minutes on top of the already longer travel time compared to the […]

Somewhat random fun fact about the Vanderveen department store: Despite Assen not even being in the top 50 of largest municipalities, this is the second largest department store in the Netherlands, only after the Bijenkorf in Amsterdam. Occasionally my hometown does surprise me a bit.

I expected lots of stuff to happen today, but somehow cycling home at night eating an ice cream wasn't on that list. At least it was a fun day/night out.

@Edent Sadly I don't have a photo, but I've also seen some units where the buttons are spaced out a bit more and they had a distance sensor for each button, allowing you to press a button by holding your hand in front of them.
