We have acquired another piece of heavy machinery: a hedge trimmer. Hence, I've been busy trimming hedges today.
You know, gyms were invented for people who don't own houses. Because if you have a house, trimming hedges, taking down stuff, spackling, painting, and whatnot provide more exercise than any gym.
The summer is almost over. 😞
I enjoyed my job (until AI ruined it for me), and I dare say I accomplished a thing or two. But nothing comes close to how proud I am of this corner.
And here's what it looks like after.
On a related note, spackling and applying mortar is a satisfying experience.
By the way, the light gray spackled areas on the wall? All Malene's work. She's really good at it.
Yesterday’s experiment wasn’t a complete failure, so I finished the job today. Here’s what the exposed part of the wall looked like before.
Next level unlocked.
Up until now, we've been filling and spackling holes. Today, I started applying a layer of mortar to cover an exposed section of the brick wall. Since I still have no idea what the fuck I'm doing, I decided to start with just a small area. That way, in the very likely event that I fuck things up, removing a small patch of mortar should be relatively easy.
Malene spotted a minivan from Fürth today! In Tversted of all places.
Sunflowers weren't the huge success we'd hoped for. Lack of rain, strong winds, and -- we suspect -- bad soil made their lives tough. But a couple of them turned out okay. Now we know what to watch out for next year.
It's just a matter of days before our garden finishes blossoming for this year, but there are still a few pretty flowers left for us to enjoy.
IN FÜRTH: Weekend getaway in Munich? Again? Meh.
IN BINDSLEV: Let's go grocery shopping at Lidl in Hjørring this week. FUCK, YEAH! WOO-WHOO! \o/
Speaking of which, they had this suçuk-like sausage. It's not the same as the real thing, but I'll take it.
I discovered a hole in my favorite T-shirt and thought to myself, "There must be a clever way to patch holes." Lo and behold, there's a store selling these repair patches. Cut a round piece to cover the hole, iron it on, and you're done. Now, that's what I call progress!
I bought this sauce out of curiosity. It tasted so good that I returned to the store and bought all the remaining 6 bottles.
