Yeah, I'd like to say a big thanks too! For the challenges, inspiration and definitively not least your advice! Every morning this month I have checked the site for the new challenge with great anticipation and just once has there been one I expec...

It would fall under the "just do it" category. Started climbing, mostly indoors to begin with. Felt a bit dizzy at times, but when you get to the top and you're on your way down it's so worth it.

This is a really important challenge. I have already conquered my three greatest fears: heights, speaking in public and making a fool of myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm still afraid, but I won't let it stop me, I don't make a fool of myself -every...

Caraway and Sorrel (mainly for the acidity, just the stems, not the leaves) Haven't quite decided what to put in the next batch since Sorrel won't be in season until late summer/fall. I'm leaning on Caraway and Lemon zest though and a small exper...

This triggered some fond childhood memories. Building three houses with my friends. My brother teaching me to solder. My father teaching me to lay tiles, chop wood and fell threes (with an axe. (that's pretty manual, though chainsaws are kinda man...

I get compliments on my posture from time to time, but personally I think I'm a bit to stiff. Also something I've noticed is that when I'm relaxed an doing something I like my posture automatically improves. For instance I walk a lot with okey pos...

I've been to the doctor a few times last month and took a lot of tests. Guess I'm good for another five years. With the stitch I did today, (shaving accident) I now got free health care for the rest of the year.

I can't really say that I completed this challenge. Spoke a couple of words with a lady at lunch and chatted at bit with a guy at a shop. This was exactly the kind of challenge I expected though, and the day is not over yet.

I've had a budget for a while now, all in my head, but I only have 5 posts in it. (Rent 50%, food 30%, tax 10%, emergency fund 5% and stuff I don't really need 5%). Got the emergency fund on a automatic monthly transfer so that they don't dwinle ...

I love to cook! Monday is my fast-food-day so I tried to make Sloppy Joes! I'm sure you Americans are like dubbeluteef, but to me it's almost exotic.

I don't have to much stuff, but I do need to organize my stuff better. For instance my biggest clutter is books. I have only ten books, but no bookshelf. Freecycle is also a very good de-cluttering tool. It's easier (for me at least) to get rid o...

I thought this would be easy, but I put a lot of thought into it and only came up with 8 things. Well, I suppose more can be added later. It's nice to see some things on you lists that I take more or less for granted, like skiing, having a dog, an...

I did an ultrasound last month because of swelling in the epididymis-thingy. Everything checked out ok though.

I've printed it out and started memoricizing it. Hopeful optimistic that I will have it by the end of the day. Nice poem.
