---------------------------------------- Easter April 8, 2023 ---------------------------------------- Written in the mountains, on an iPad, SSHing to my server ---------------------------------------- Here in the mountains towering over the lake of Garda, temperature is still quite low (which is why I am writing next to a stove) but today it looks like spring, at last: the sun is shining and everywhere is cherry blossoms and rosebuds and bees. My youngest kid and I woke up early today and went out to get some meat for Monday's barbecue. It is a 20 minutes walk down into a valley and back (with a pit stop at the fountain to drink some chilly mountain water) and we enjoyed every minute of it. I love hiking with both of them, because our attention is all on the things we see around us and there's plenty of time for them to ask questions and me to answer them, or just chat about anything that comes to our minds. Once back, we went in the garden to pick up some chicory and water the plants. Then my eldest woke up and while the kids played football in the garden I went up and read a book on AI ethics (well, you'll probably hear more about that from me as this is quite a relevant part of my new job now...). Easter is tomorrow. We will be around for a few more days then the kids will have to get back to school, and El and I will fly back to London. At the thought of leaving I already miss them, but for now I enjoy the time we can spend together and our family and this cold spring.
