Home sweet home - for now

 I've been travelling a lot lately. Poor 'Suma is completely depressed, and I feel sorry for her and also so sad I can't avoid these travels.



I'm still afraid of flying, but I'm not tasting vomit in my mouth anymore all the time.

Someone would think it's so wonderful to be able to travel as a part of one's work, but I don't feel that way. Even though the meetings were very good, productive and funny, too. I've got lovely team mates and I really appreciate them more and more. Days are long, and my brain is still boiling over all foreign languages I had to use. I really really don't speak French.

Meanwhile at home.

Our forest neighbour sold his trees and there was a harvester working while I was away. I would have love to watch it working, but not such luck. This picture is taken along our border, some of the logs are laying partly in our land, but not a single twig was cut from our side. Now all logs have been removed so there is only the mess left. It isn't that bad, I expected it to be worse.

So - I haven't been able to do ANYTHING at veggie plot or greenhouses, and it makes me soooo fustrated. Maybe next year.

(at least I got garlics harvested, and corn is having best harvest ever, but beets are tiny and cucumbers did badly this year - and I haven't been able to check out my pumpkins, zucchinis OR beans on my plot at my sisters - only good thing is that there has been no frosts yet, which is a miracle of sorts)

A little break before the madness

 


We are on a holiday cottage for the weekend with hb's nephew and his wife. Back home tomorrow, and then on Monday I will leave 9 o'clock in the morning to a three day seminar. And next week another four day trip. 'Suma is already miserable 😔
