Weekend Reflections: A Blend of Nature, Learning, and Rel...

 
2nd and 3rd of Aug 2025

Sun 3 Aug 2025, 7:17:56 pm CET It's Sunday evening, and I am sitting here reflecting on the weekend. The weather has been quite nice, and I have been able to spend some time outdoors. We spent some time in the garden getting it all nice and tidy. I took the time to get my tobacco plants in order as well. I had three new plants planted. Not sure that it will be a success for this season, much too late, but it's just a shame to through them away. It's been a great project that started late March, and I have learned a lot about growing  tobacco. I am looking forward to the next season already, and I will be able to start much earlier. I have some ideas on how to improve the process, and I am excited to see how it will turn out.

I do not have to tell you have fast the weekend goes by, but I have to say that I am quite happy with what we achieved. J has been studied and there were a lot of chores to complete around the house. We managed to get a lot done, and I am quite happy with the results. I also took some time to relax and enjoy outside when the weather allowed it. It's been a challenge to find the time to mentally relax with everything going on both at work and in private life, but I think I managed to find a good balance this weekend. The holidays  and time off in July seems so far away...

This evening we will be watching the series 1923 Check it out here on IMDb together with J. It's a great series, not as good as the 1883 by a long shot, and I have to see how it progresses. I thought that what we saw last time was borderline too cheesy, but I will give it a chance.

OK, that's it for now. I have not been sleeping brilliantly and tomorrow I will have to drive to the office  tomorrow.

Did you know that..? I try to find an interesting historical event that occurred on this day. Sun 3 Aug 2025, 7:17:56 pm CET Did you know that today in 1936 is when Jesse Owens Read more about it on Wikipedia. wins the 100 metre dash, defeating Ralph Metcalfe, at the Berlin Olympics.
