Grateful for weather (any kind).

On our way to spring break in Provence. During lunch at a rest stop we got in a squabble over ordering sandwiches which lead ultimately to my husband turning around and returning 4 hours home.
End of spring break. I am dumbfounded, I absolutely don’t know what to do now.

After attacks by wild 🐗where big parts of the garden were upturned we have put an electric deterrent fence around the property. Last night the monitoring app went crazy for 30‘, many contacts. this morning we saw that over 100m a troop of boar must have tried to enter the property.

A #closetbully manages to justify why his decision is always the most reasonable one just by picking the arguments that he rejected last time; then claims it’s what you wanted. #marriage #couples

Good News from the lawyers: owner whose property borders ours does not insist anymore that we chop down our hundred-year-old, 40 m high #Cypress trees. Apparently she got cold feet that she would lose in court. Suggests now that we pay ½ for having her roof swept annually.
Victory for the trees!!🌳

Well, in the end we decided not to buy a new house and rather stay in our old mas. It’s so beautiful despite its shortcomings, and in the best village of #Provence

So our darn neighbors who installed about 100sqm of #solarpanels on their storage shed did not only forget that the sun would reflect directly into our living room.They also didn’t install them tight enough, so any wind gust makes them clank and rattle all night. This will require painful mitigation

In my newsletter, I wrote about The Spoonbill Club--a series of birding trips that I started for Bay Area folks with long-COVID and related energy-limiting illnesses.
We've done 2 small pilots that I think worked well. Here's more on the intention & planning: buttondown.email/edyong209/ar...

‚I want a world where more men do what we call “women’s work.” I want women to decline or pursue motherhood, I want the entrance to every abortion clinic to be clear. And when a doctor places a girl in a mother’s arms I want the parents to have no demands for what that child’s life will look like.‘

So many thoughts in this I’ve been having. The being left with all the shit during covid. But I tackled the issues. Slowly, steadily. We’re still working on it.

House 1 is out. House 2 in negotiation phase. If we buy, we might become holiday home landlords in Provence! Exciting new ideas in my head.
