Today I went on a bike ride to the west end (lighthouse). On the way, I administered first aid and called an ambulance due to a bike accident I saw (a laceration on my head).

A climb to the lighthouse 🥵 was a must, of course—a clear view rewarded the ascent. In Hollum, we ate kibbeling 🐟, followed by the very creamy 🍦 ice …
