WTF: Blowing Raspberries
We Talk Friday (WTF) This is a semi-regular series that I will run on Fridays to hold discussions on a current topic from the week gone. The aim is to keep them light and conversational, though some might

Just Desserts
I feel like this week I have driven about a million miles, but it hasn't really been that much. It is more just that I don't drive longer distances these days, so are no longer accustomed to sitting in

Stepping Down
I don't know what happened last night, but before five in the morning Puusti the Dog woke up and I couldn't get back to sleep. So by five thirty in the morning and after my coffee, I was in the basement

Gapped and Declined
We are all average. Some (like me) are just more average than others. Yet, no matter how amazing we might be at something, or how amazing we think we are as a person, we are far less unique than we believe

Nothing Ventured
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Well, I achieved a a lot of nothing today, as from morning to evening was spent driving Smallsteps across what felt like half the country so she can spend a few nights

Fully Unhinged
Renovating is a bit like that old lady who swallowed a fly, and then a spider, then a bird - until she finally dies after trying to swallow a horse. You start with one thing, but then that one thing turns

Getting Played Averagely
I was out with a couple ex-colleagues (still friends) the other night for a drink and a chat and we spoke a fair bit about parenting, parenting styles, the breakdown of multi-generational households and

To Farm and Back Again
And zero tasks were done. The plan was to get started on the next phase of the basement clean-up and floor painting project, but instead, I did nothing and went to a farm in the country for a slice of

Up The Walls
Not the most exciting game. But it was the final and that can almost be expected. I am glad Spain won, though I would have liked to have seen a few more shots at goals by Argentina - their attack was

Rains, it Pours
The rain has been absolutely pissing down for about twelve hours straight, but I still went into the city to meet a couple ex-colleagues for a quiet drink and to talk some nonsense. Much of it centred

Berry Made it
And picked it! With the rains threatening, we got to the farm and began picking the berries, even with a few slivers of sunshine breaking through the gathering clouds. I of course started with a raspberry

Prepping for Winter
I don't know if the mojitos I made looked good or bad, but they tasted okay. Admittedly, the first I made was quite strong as I used a random shot glass from the cupboard, only to find out later it was

Last Day Sun
Half way through the summer and this might be the last warm day - With warm being 24°C only. To make the most of it, we have come by the nearby lake beach to swim and relax a little. Smallsteps is reading

Bigger Better
Is bigger, better? In a comment from @seattlea, he mentioned how the cottage we were at was small compared to the US, and it got me thinking about whether bigger is better. He mentioned that his friend

Island Reflections
After a couple nights away and a really relaxed trip, we are back home from the archipelago. We spent most of yesterday walking around a different island with a small harbour and café on it, and the kids

Sea Cottage Life
I normally don't write so little, but since we are about to head out on the boat to another island (one of the over 50,000 of them here), I don't have a lot of time. But, I wanted to show some of the sights

Another Land
Is a change as good as a holiday? I am not sure about that, but for a couple days we will have a slight change of view, from home to the sights of the Finnish archipelago. This was meant to be a longer

Buying Undesirables
Yesterday, between painting jobs and waiting for the last load of laundry to finish, I decided to cut the lawn. It doesn't take too long, just 45 minutes, or an hour if I do the edging as well. Nothing
