    Last week has certainly been busy. After our vaccination programme on Monday, we drove up to the summerhouse for the first time after coming home from Cyprus. We knew that there has been work in the woods around us. The forrest owners have sent in big forrest machines to take out the timber. Normally it takes 40 years for the forrest to be commercial. I still remember way back in time the last time they did it. When the forrest machines work out there, they make a mess. The tracks they leave can be up to a meter high, and timber not big enough and branches are just left to…

About

This is the blog of the every day life of a humble, reasonably happy elderly, retired man, also known as a grumpy old git.

The blog was started for 2 reasons.  First, my missus claims I’m starting to be forgetful.  Keeping a blog will make it easier to remember.  Second, as I keep the blog on my own server, it will help me staying closer to my old profession.

The blog will be updated at random, sometimes daily, sometimes not, just when I feel for it.

After a long time of considerations, I have abandoned the idea of having a multi language blog.  This simply takes to much time and effort.  Translation is now based on Google translate, not foolproof, but will give you an idea of what it’s all about.   The blog is mainly meant for my English speaking friends, and therefore the posts are written in English.  However, feel free to comment in any language
