Why do I have to call craftsmen for weeks and weeks, only for them to tell me at the end that they don’t have any more time that year anyway?

It’s sad. These 🤬 are allowed to get away with it. If I did that at work….

I just found 6 Ladybugs in my bedroom. 🤔🐞

I can’t believe what I’m hearing. And I should not tell it, therefore kept very open. A schoolgirl came to my wife. Confided in her that she was being beaten at home. We have been discussing this since yesterday. The youth welfare office is now involved.

I am crying right now.

Playing around with FaceApp. Again. I think blonde would be cool. What do you think?

The pane on my 1 year old stove just cracked during the first stoking this year. And I emphasize: stoking. Not an excessive amount of wood.

I. Just. Can’t. Believe. It.

Do you know the situation when you have a fly in your room and it doesn’t want to fly anywhere else? No. It stays with you. Then it sits down sometimes on your sleeve, or sometimes right next to your ear. I have rarely seen such cuddly animals. 🪰

Oooookay. Now both my parents have Corona.

Not that that’s anything special. But that too? Seriously?

A house is a liability. A house with problems even more so. It’s a pity that this also leads to regular arguments with my wife. I don’t know how much longer I can keep this up.

Right now I meet a lot of colleagues from all over the world. It’s fantastic. It’s fun to talk to them in person. It’s totally different to virtual meetings. It’s about 1.000.000 times better than virtual meetings!!!

I can’t get rid of him either. The excavator driver who yelled at me a few months ago now works for the direct neighbors. And he regularly looks up at me in my study. What does he want? Kill me with glances?

I think the kids have slowly infected me. The throat is already scratchy, the nose also makes itself independent. Oh, how I look forward to this fall / winter / spring time.

Schau schau, ein Stau. 📷

I have a Kindle.
I miss ‚real’ books. 📚. Really enjoyed it at the library today.

Hey, what do you think about me with glasses? 🤔

Thinking about attending to the Microsoft Ignite in Seattle in October. Has anyone been there in the past? I don’t if it’s worth it.

Can’t concentrate. :(

A workman pressures me to sign that he has done his work. I’m still thinking about what exactly to write on it. Because the work is… well…

Actually funny that he calls and emails every day. I had to wait 1 year and 3 months for the touch-up work.

Could it be that this autumn 🍂 will be even worse than the last? 😢

Corona 🦠 is rolling in again. The energy ⚡️ crisis will bankrupt 💰 many, including me. What else is coming?

It’s a shame, really, because I quite like autumn, if only for the photography. 📷

I was stung by a biting fly earlier. After that I read that something like that can be dangerous. Great… 🫣

Where I like to sit? On the edge of the bathtub. 😊

I had a totally awesome doctor’s appointment today.

Does that sound weird?

Today I changed all the filters of the ventilation system and ventilation grilles. I rid our two light outlets of several dozen flies (how the heck do they get in there?). I got on with the income tax return - a disaster as every year. I made a lot of phone calls (regarding our house). I took care of the plumber who, as expected, left half-baked work and lots of dirt. I went to see my godson who had his first day of school today. And now I’m still preparing things for work tomorrow. What a productive day! Not nice, but productive.

I hate craftsmen.
The ones I know.

Please someone tell me that there are also good and normal ones out there.

A house like this is a single, lifelong construction site. The plumber is here and is now repairing a mistake on the chimney plate that he made over a year ago. In the meantime, the chimney sweep has wanted to shut down my chimney several times. Great, isn’t it? I love it.

This is how my day started. How’s your day going?

Well, unfortunately, this accident happened to my wife. Everyone involved is okay and I’ll just deal with it today. I actually had other plans, but…
