When I said yesterday that I have done all the important stuff at the cabin, it wasn’t exactly accurate – I did have the blocks of firewood that still needed chopping before they rot away. I’ve been wondering how I’m going to do that because I’m not really an ax-wielding kind of woman, but I…

I took the day off. I’ve had this headache since last week but the weird (or not so weird) part of it is that I only suffer from it at work. Almost as soon as I get home, I hardly notice it – it’s still there, but just not bothering me. So it’s not a…

You’d think that I would be tired after a 14 km hike on Saturday, but surprisingly I had energy to spare. So I took a shovel and finally dealt with the pile of gravel I’ve had lying by the cabin, and having done that, I sprayed the remaining wall with iron sulphate which means that…

I spent the weekend at the cabin. I wanted to try out something and didn’t bring a computer with me, just to see if I would miss it or not. Turns out, I didn’t miss it at all – in fact, I wouldn’t have had time to switch it on anyway. I had a big…

I have a new bike. I wasn’t going to buy anything as expensive, but it just felt so right. The only reason I needed a new bike anyway was because the old bike is too big, I mean the frame. I’ve had the old bike something like 10 years and I’ve always thought it was…

As mentioned yesterday, I got down to Mon and finally explored the island that was no longer an island. It wasn’t actually that exciting, just the same as elsewhere in Mon, but it has bothered me quite enormously that I haven’t been able to visit the place. Especially because I’ve seen from the mainland side…

Last week I found a nice spot opposite from Mon. Meaning that while I’ve been on the river shore in Mon, I’ve seen a small cape (I think the correct term is ”point”) on the other side. I finally got around to visiting it last week and I was impressed, not so much by the…

The last time I visited the Orsa Bear Park, the conditions were… bad. The animals seemed to hate the weather as well, so I got almost nothing out of it. But today was compensation, everything seemed to work out for the best! Or maybe it’s just beginners luck. I thnk the first time I visited…

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of about introversion and extroversion. There’s no question that I’m an introvert, and I’ve learned to understand a lot of things about myself the more I’ve read about the subject. One thing that is strongly related to (but not necessarily a part of) introversion is something which is called…

It’s been a nice weekend, especially today with what must be the warmest temperature of the summer so far (or maybe not – I hear it was really warm during my vacation). I did some scouting yesterday, primary target was to find flowers but the most exciting thing I came across was some over-bloomed butterfly…
