  • The last ...

    Day of the year and I do hope we’ll see another full year happen, for my kids, family and all life on this planet.

    I know it won’t be that way, as you can’t generalize life, because death is part of it.
    The one time, we as humans really reaching our 100%, is the day we gonna die.

    I wish for all that are / that is alive, it will become a year worthwhile living.

  • A quiet ...

    Relaxed day, I didn’t do a lot, didn’t moved a lot, not ate a lot - so it should be just fine.

    Wind, rain it was not very nice outside, but I’m lucky to have a roof about my head.

    My daughter was cooking for us today, that was really great, I do not like cooking at all still.

  • A moved day ...

    I mean, I moved myself 17 kms today - didn’t planned that to be honest, but it happened naturally 😁

    It was a mainly beautiful day today, the calm before the next storm (with warnings active) will arrive tomorrow.

    I’m happy that my daughter is here again, and hope my older one is doing well, too.

  • Not that ...

    Bad at all here around, I’m lucky.

    No trees down, not that much rain, all good.

    A little bit slow today, but ongoing and this is was counts for me.
    To be alive and to honor every day.

  • So the ...

    Rain warning became a storm warning and so far it’s fine, as the wind comes mainly from the south.

    The night was short, but I did some cooking at 0200, a little bit of household stuff before, listening to music and did some research about electric Vans.

    I’ll never give up hope, that I’ll have a “financial feasible life” ahead of me 🙃

  • Thankful ...

    To have the opportunities, my workshop is really developing, so tools get their place, the searching is reduced and “the doing” can happen.

    My girls are not very communicative lately, as long as they are fine … Teenagers and it’s not their fault I’m alone.

    We have another “orange rain warning” valid for two days, lucky I’m in a hilly area.

  • I had a slow start ...

    But I did well in the afternoon, stuff is moving forward.

    Without money, everything isn’t easy, but I still have resources that can be used, stuff to repair, dreams to imagine how everything will become.

    There was even a little bit of sunshine in the late afternoon and I walked over the moonshine lighten up fields. It really was nice, life is good to me.

  • A Christmas ...

    As usual, quiet and I’ll be alone beginning with tomorrow, hope to be able using my time and get things done.

    I hope for good nights sleep and I start with tomorrow, to reduce to no “extra sugar”, so no chocolate or ice cream anymore. Definitely necessary after the last couple of weeks.

  • I completely ...

    Screwed up my day, because I’m still completely out of sync.

    I did binge watching a series and went to sleep at 0445, woke up at 0830.

    I drove my bike, did house sitting for my neighbors, more like “cat sitting”. Happy to have my little daughter around.

  • I put ...

    Myself slowly together again, after the couple of sleepless nights.

    I watched a few YTV’s about Linux and config “distribution” with chezmoi and Ansible today. I searched a while for this, finally found something right to the point.

    So a good day, still miserable weather.

  • As expected ...

    Or planned by “greater forces” 🤔😁 another sleepless night.

    The storm gusts were waking me up on a very regular basis and the wind still don’t calm down yet.

    I came across a statement I marked in “Making Learning happen” …

    Know when to stop reading, when to stop collecting and when to start turning the most relevant findings into real learning and evidence of achievement.

    Reminded me what I wrote about “my age & learning”.

  • Crazy dreams ...

    And every 30 minutes I was awake last night, it was stormy, the dreams were disturbing, but no nightmares.

    Life is fascinating, as well as disturbing at times 🙃

    The weather here is not nice for life at the moment, for all the animals who have to be outside, as well as people and too warm.

  • Nothing to say ...

    I had two guests on the fields today, two Dexter cows, a mother with her calf.

    In the morning when I brought the horses carrots, there were five minutes of sunshine, but that was all of it and the rest of the day was rainy.

    I’m really getting tired of it.

  • The weather ...

    To warm, to dark, to wet … I know I repeat myself to often, but this is our share of the climate change outcome here in Ireland.

    I was on the bike today, I forced myself to walk, it wasn’t that enjoyable, but I moved myself and only this counts.

    I wish that humanity will understand today, not tomorrow, that the best approach seeing it from now, to tackle climate change is, to do less and only the important things that preserve life’s - it would be so easy and won’t even hurt a bit.

  • Dark and wet ...

    The whole day it was. I was up early, to say goodbye to my older one.
    She’s flying back to Austria and I’ll miss her.

    I hope she’ll be smart, there are a few things she has to do and I do hope she follows up, to make her own life better, she’s eighteen after all.

    My little one is a little stressed with school work, she’ll succeed.

    My back isn’t great today and I’m to heavy, I really have to quit sugar completely. I hope, to succeed.

  • It is ...

    So annoying that my back is starting acting out again.
    I’m guessing the high amount of sugar consumed, also drives inflammation, too.

    Was working a couple of hours in the shop, happy and thankful to have the opportunity.

  • The short days ...

    Are taking their toll.

    I was way to tired for the day and consumed to much sugar, without any positive outcome, except to get fat.
    The biking won’t safe me, because I would had to drive at least 2-3 times more, to have an impact.

    In the late afternoon, I worked in my workshop and at least there, progress was made, so I’m happy and all is fine.

  • Do I really ...

    Want to learn more?

    Because is it in my age not more about understanding better, instead of feeding myself with more stuff (learning)?

    One of the big questions for me.

    And is learning really achieved by only doing it, or when you are able to apply, after you properly digested?

    Don’t forget about the “more” part in my initial question.

    As so often, it will lie in the eye of the beholder, is it only about the usage of words, or is it relevant at all.

  • You always ...

    Have to click back into reality.

    I was listen to some Podcasts today and that was my conclusion for today.

    The self help books and all about this business is fine, as long as you not forget that life never will fit a book, video. So be very curious about what you read, hear and trust yourself always more than others in this case.

    If you want to change, the only one who really can guide you - is you and you only, at least in my experience.

  • We had ...

    Sun here in the morning for approximately an hour and following up to what I wrote yesterday, I drove my bike and had a beautiful time, enjoying life around me.

    I wish this for everyone, without destruction, pain, constant fear, being able to enjoy the moments, one after another, also called “the now”.

    I wasn’t very productive today, but I’m alive and happy to be allowed, to be free.

  • Me too ...

    Feeling lost in life at times.
    I’m not threatened by anyone, only by “myself” and the actual view of my life. Don’t be worried, I love my life and won’t do anything to end it.

    The only one, who is able to change this is me, no responsibility can be shared nor can I point to someone else.

    And as I do need, very egoistical a “living planet” around me, this is one of the points I struggle with - doing stuff that support this substantial need, not causing more destruction, as already happens.

  • A fine day ...

    I drove my bike through “the storm” to get something sweet for me, my daughter. I saw a beautiful woman (for sure ring and kids), still I was enjoying the view.

    I was working in the workshop, my neighbor, too.

    But now, in the evening it feels like lonely and without a chance to improve, to offer anything that is a really help to others - so it turned “sad”.

  • A good day ...

    That started at 0600 and I keep it short today, because I’m tired and looking forward to lay down.

    So thankful to have my workshop, be able to share the space. Worked the afternoon in it and slowly it all comes together.

    Feels so surreal that here I can follow up with “my stuff” and at the same time there are wars going on, e.g.

  • To much ...

    Wind today and very restless in myself, too.

    I hope my arteries and veins in my left leg are fine. I do have unusual pain, that was before pointing to a strained tendon. But after one week, the uncomfortable feeling is wandering now upwards into my thigh.

    Having these kind of issues in Ireland is like a game play to get proper care, a doctor who acts on point and quickly. I’m sad to have to say that, but recently with hearing about experiences around people I know, it feels like a common issue lately.

    In my case, if my suspicion is accurate, that could be the aftermath of my one time COV-SARS2 infection. I do hope I’m wrong.

  • Another taxi ...

    Service for my daughter, you may call this “Uber” these days 😁

    I got for myself a hot chocolate at a Dunnes Store and was “people watching”, only to learn, how many parents are completely replacing themselves with mobile phones.

    Yes, my kids were at home in front of a screen, but not that early and not when we were out with them. It’s not judging, only observations, because there were 3 babies, different spots, barely able to even hold the phone.

    Maybe the smaller of our problems - again - these days, but may that is causing a lot of what we’re actually in today 🤔
