I had to visit the office today to pick up some paperwork that I had forgotten to bring home. Earlier in the week, I'd received half a loaf of unwanted bread from an office colleague who was going on vacation. Since I had been unable to finish it and the bread was now past its best, I decided to make a quick stop by the river on my way to work in order to give the local ducks a present. The weather was pleasantly spring-like; cold enough to be fresh, but with a little sun to take the chill out of the air.
