Getting back in shape

1. Our first walk to the land


I’d been waiting impatiently to visit the land again. Once my ass stopped hurting (or the pain wasn’t unbearable), I went for a walk and check how things were moving about. I thought I’d be going there more often but everything has its time.










2. You don’t have a religion?


There are lots of elderly people living in our village. They’re lovely and good, but sometimes they tend to give you pieces of advice, and some of them are connected to their religion. It takes some effort to explain that I have none, although I respect all of them and everyone who is religious. They don’t understand how that is possible. Anyways, I still have left that painting in the room tho… will she protect me although I’m not one of them? #mary


3. Walks

Happy to spend more time with the dogs again and take them for walks. It isn’t always possible, but I’m trying my best!















4. Flip flops, pram & Nissan

Flip-flops are definitely not the best shoes for walks and hikes. I also wonder if this pram is suitable for walks in the forest. So let’s see what will last longer. To my surprise, what didn’t last that long was our car Nissan. Among those lovely people, there’s always someone who wanna make problems. Someone stabbed one of the tires on the car… and a few days prior to that, the hand break burst and stayed in my boyfriend’s hand. At first, I thought that the car was old, everything could happen then, but it seems like someone doesn’t like us there. Such is life, I guess! #showmewhoyouare

5. Online shopping

I can’t believe that only in my 30s, I found out the advantages of online shopping (for things that are physical… I’ve been buying digital stuff for some time, tell me that I’m not so far behind). It’s been quite tricky to find lentils in the shops around, so luckily I can order them… never mind that one package got damaged. I also ordered some cute nappies for Aurorys.






6. Goats & Pedro

Hello kozys and pato! No explanation is needed.

7. First fruits of hard work


Even those little trees are producing fruits now. We expected them to bear some years later, happy that they are already bearing! Now we just have to keep going and planting!

8. Hello little plants

As the weather is already hot, it’s better to have all seedlings in the shade. As they are close to the house now, it is also easier to keep them moist.














9. Dogs again


Our dogs used to be bullied by other dogs in the village. Every time we came next to the church from our land, local dogs showed up and started barking and fighting with ours. It doesn’t matter that we moved a bit further in the village, those dogs will come everywhere just to be able to bully Kuku and John 😳 I was calling John one night when we were coming home from our walk. I see him carrying something looking like a sponge. John found himself a friend. A hedgehog. He was very enthusiastic and excited to the extent that he didn’t care that his new mate could have pricked him.

10. One month

Aurora is one month old, heavier and taller. I guess that breastfeeding is working well.

















Have a great time!
