Hiking desire

Feeling: lowkey
Listening: school lecture

I've been planning some stuff for the summer recently. I really want to hike/bicycle every few weeks for a couple days and nights, depending on how I'll be employed.

We have the freedom to roam around here, so I for example would be allowed to hike and bicycle in nature no matter who it's owned by, as well as camp (but not make fires) temporarily on said land. Once I get my fishing liscences for this year I could also do some fishing, though that of course depends on what town I am in, for I would need all the necessary liscences for said town.

Anyway. I do have some other plans for the summer: work, mainly. I've applied for many summer positions and then that will give me time to look for a longform job.

I'm happy to mainly do some random jobs for money, as my rent is thankfully pretty cheap with the terrace having mainly shady occupants... Most of them likely see me just as shady, heh...

Anyways I'll be happily waiting for spring. Winter is nice and all but the heating is expensive. And I can't find as many birds! I indeed need to make a list of all the birds I want to see this year, as well as fish. Here are some prototypes for those:
