Distraught
Second post in a week. Good for me!
The cause of my distraction is the overabundance of top-sport occurring right now. I'm busy enough as it is, but tennis, football and so on are calling also.
So I'll have another beer while I ponder what to do. -
Retired a year!
Such a long time since I was here. And already a year since I stopped working. Will be an old age pensioner soon - which means liable for the state pension also.
Things to watch out for in July :
- TdF
- Wimbledon
- new kitchen
- Uefa
- trip to Holland
Also I've got to decide if I will make the effort to go trekking in Norway.

DK
Back home after a lazy trip. 30 degrees Celsius in the Med, 5 degrees here, raining, windy, crap.

Israel
It took 3 flights, and 14 hours to get to Tel Aviv. Delays in Germany, a very light spattering of snow and everything almost ground to a standstill.
And the bloody paperwork to get into this place! 2 pcr tests, 2 different online forms and then you get a little piece of paper which you can keep in your passport. It's not a permanent stamp, because ( Read more... ) -
More corona
I'm 3 weeks into this, and I'm still coughing like a coal miner. It's a real pain in the ass!
On top of that I find out that baby is on serious medication and seeing a shrink. She didn't reply to my mails, texts and voice mail messages, it was her partner. About fucking time someone considered that the girl has a father, and her 1 1/2 year old child ( Read more... ) -
Ukraine
I was in Kiev many years ago. It was about this time of the year, lots of dirty snow shovelled aside, cold and damp. Not much of an experience.
Protesters against the government's strengthening ties to Russia were ongoing downtown, I remember thinking they were tough to be able to stay out all night!
The government was eventually overthrown, Crimea ( Read more... ) -
Sick as a dog
I am now a victim of covid 19. Woke up Saturday with a bloody hangover, except I wasn't hung over. It got worse, with coughing and a little fever.
I'll work it off, I say. Splitting logs with an axe. Eejit, I was knackered after 30 minutes. Sunday I was tested positive, and have been mostly in bed since. Getting better though, but my African trip is ( Read more... ) -
Sick day
Woke up with a headache. Nothing really strange there, but the timing was all wrong. It was 3.45, and I was wide awake.
I felt bad, called in sick and am now looking out the window at glorious sunshine. On a weekday!
I am so looking forward to retiring, with all my projects I am going to be a very busy man.

More light
I really notice the extra daylight hours now. Was home today at 5, still in time to let the hens out in the garden. They love that so I hurry home for them! But I enjoy this too..
Mrs is visiting her girlfriend in Copenhagen... A night off for me! Already the music is on, the wine is chilled and I know my schedule. But it'll be OK when she returns ( Read more... ) -
Fucking corona
It's nearly 2 years since we moved to the countryside, and 2 years since the corona outbreak. I can't say how corona has affected me, because everything else in my life changed at the same time too.
Now I can say I truly want this to be be over. I need to get away, on my own, sun or snow, it doesn't matter. I'm not depressed but I'm pretty pissed ( Read more... )
