Finished 29 books in 2025. Five stars for Chris Whitaker's All The Colors Of The Dark & All The Wicked Girls, and Barbara Kingsolver's Demon Copperhead. That last one was wicked good. Read way less fantasy last year as I was getting kinda tired of the same […]

Rescued two rusty spades with cracked handles from the landfill and gave them a thorough cleaning with a wire brush. New ash handles to be fitted next week.
Two spade heads cleaned, laying next to two cracked handles on a workbench.

Spent the past few days in the French Jura region, hiking up the highest mountain Crêt de la Neige, walking up to gorgeous falls, visiting friends and helping them split firewood and move logs that will later be milled into planks and beams with a portable sawmill.

View on top of the Crêt de la Neige towards the Mont Blanc. Geneva is covered in clouds. Big logs on the side of the road, with a cant hook leaning against the first one. Gorgeous waterfall called Queue de la Cheval. Beautiful river gorge next to our friends' house.

Played another classic board game yesterday: Antike by Mac Gerdts (same guy from Concordia). One of those games where you have to pick a strategy early on and stick with it. Didn't work for me though 😆 But fun was had! Doggo was disappointed the game pieces weren't edible.

Boardgame Antike with arms grabbing game pieces or crisps. Dog thinking what the hell is this board game about.

Looking forward to restoring this ancient drill press. Weighs about as much as my car I reckon.

Old industrial blueish drill press located on the floor in a workshop. Rust abounds on the cast iron parts.

Heel het huis doorzoeken naar iets dat je zeker weet dat je hebt en maar niet vinden. Het nieuw kopen en dan ergens leggen waar je het zeker gaat terugvinden. En dan op die plaats natuurlijk het origineel zien liggen. 🤦‍♂️

De fijne mensen van Qbic kwamen afgelopen vrijdag op teambuilding in ons voedselbos om te helpen planten en een wilgenhaag te maken. Leuk en ook uitdagend om 8 mensen aan het werk te zetten 😃

Volgende week komt er een bedrijf op teambuilding in ons #voedselbos. Vandaag al wat voorbereid door de plantlocaties aan te duiden met nummers.

A wooden table displays several labeled bamboo sticks arranged in a row, alongside two notebooks. One notebook has handwritten notes, while the other features grid paper with sketches. In the background, large plastic containers and a coil of yellow hose are visible. A grassy field with a wooden stake marked "12" in the foreground. In the background, there are sparse trees and a cloudy sky. A patch of grass and fallen leaves in a woodland area, featuring several wooden stakes with tags that may indicate different plants or markers. Behind the stakes, dense underbrush and trees are visible.

The end is near for our walnut tree. Honey fungus has been appearing every year but never so vigorously as this year. Very beautiful though!

Spent the last few days in Brittany visiting my brother-in-law. The weather and landscape did not disappoint. It was windy, sunny, cloudy, rainy, stormy (sometimes at the same time!) and above all breathtakingly beautiful.
