I made it home safely yesterday. My flight was a total of eight hours. It seemed somewhat short, though sitting in the airport itself was torture. I was stuck next to someone in the seat, but I was thankfully asleep most of the time. We must’ve had one of Aerlingus’…

“Early” this morning Mariela stopped by and asked if I’d help Corina pick out a Canon zoom lens, since she was looking at them. I spent a few hours with Corina talking about gardening and other things, having tea and rice cakes. She had really good homemade jam that someone…

Today was relatively quiet. I went into town and wandered around for a few hours. I came back to the cottage and worked on the cottage’s garden for awhile too. The stuff I planted last week is starting to come up, including the radishes, spinach, and marigold. Some of the…
