Small-town life. We dropped by our Norwegian neighbors to thank them for the invitation. They weren't home, but we ended up chatting with their neighbor. She invited us for coffee. We left an hour later, full of local stories and hand-knitted wool socks for Malene.
Awwww, our Norwegian neighbors invited us to grill with them. The hand-made invitation they left in our mailbox is both adorable and slightly disturbing.
It may look like an iPad connected to a water tank, but it's most definitely not. It's a wallpaper steamer which, honestly, is pretty fucking great. What it does is simple: it blasts steam onto the wallpaper until it practically begs you to scrape it off.
It's still hard work, but infinitely more enjoyable and efficient than scraping manually.
Considering we have what feels like 10 square kilometers of wallpaper waiting to be removed -- and how cheap the contraption is -- it was the best ~300 DKK we've ever spent on tooling.
This is what I'd call our testbed. The plan is to make our entire garden to be like this.
For comparison, this what it looked like in the beginning of May:

Another day, another beer. IPA with rose nips and rosemary notes. I can definitely taste rosemary. Interesting...
TIL: Removing old wallpaper manually using a wallpaper scraper fucking sucks. On the bright side, I can skip today's workout session.
Belgian IPA brewed in Denmark? Of course, I had to try it. It's... not bad for the price.
Some of our sunflower seedlings are now almost a meter high.
Anarkist Pink Grapefruit unfiltered IPA. I was skeptical, but it proved me wrong. It's really good.
The genius (me) strikes again. One part Chinotto liquore + three parts of tonic = summer perfection.
Although we live only a few kilometers away from the sea, it was the first time since we moved here, I visited the beach. So much water feels slightly depressing, but it was a nice walk nevertheless.
Our neighbors hosted a midsummer get-together. It was wonderful to meet people from the neighborhood, grill food, enjoy a few drinks, and cap off the evening with a proper bonfire.
