118 and 1st at the same time
And just like that, a year has gone by. With small defeats and small wins, with some big defeats and some big wins. Yet, let me tell you, no snow on New years eve is the first time I see it… Well, in homecountry that is. I did not see the snow when I was…

117 oh, look, month gone by!
Lazy? Certainly. But not this time. I have been busy in all other aspects of life but writing. I must apologise. I actually owe you 4 written stories as I promised some time ago to write every week. So here we go. Failed big time. But to get at least part of my failure right…

116 fun is must in life!
I now am going to tell praise to myself for being such an excellent person. Because today, drumroll!, I slept until 13.00 sharp. I won! I won, if there ever was a competition on ability to sleep night and day. I surely won! Winning is always a good feeling. I remember it from the days…

115 tadaaa!
I am mighty. I slept until noon today. Noon. Without blinking an eye, one might say. My colleagues phoned me at around 9 in the mo and I just silenced both calls. Because I knew it was not business. I just pressed the sidebar on the phone and turned my pillow the other way around,…

114 tough times
The storms and floods. Until now these kinds of things were sort of modest, or childsized. In Europe that is. Now not so much. I remember big events like this week in Spain happened literally never before. Or have I blocked it out?…. I remember last big storm with actual damages in Europe was perhaps…

111 to shop or not to shop
There is one thing in life that I dread more than anything. Yes, you have guessed it. It is not eating bugs, going into the small spaces like lifts, flying or spiders. It’s also not working hard or cleaning shit (actual shit even) up or doing anything nasty. It’s shopping. Well, that’s a bit confusing…

110 autumn/ keeping my word vol 2
Another run, another year coming to an end. With all the crops ready it sure has it’s charm. Pumpkins, apples, pears, my favourites mushrooms, everything for hearty dinner right from your own garden! When I was younger I had a strange urge to go to my island every autumn. I loved the smell of autumn,…

109 I am keeping my promise vol 1
I am keeping my promise to write weekly even if I fell ill suddenly. Ofcourse on Friday evening. As always. You know just in case it’s serious then you have to go to emergency room not your regular doc. It’s a no brainer – important health things always start on weekend or at night of…

108 yes, I’m sorry
Again, I must apologise for this long gap in my mighty blog. First things first. I went to my house/ cottage and hold and behold! there they were, muschrooms! Right on my lawn. Right the same way as every year with the exeption of me being on time to pick them. They are called Coprinus…
