Reading Evening


I am spending the evening reading funny short stories about travel traffic in Australia. Well written – and very interesting. So I can learn much about travellers without travelling and meeting them personally... The stories also taught me to be more careful with people. You never know to what they are really up to... ;)
Well, I have some my own experiences with travelling people.
I think the most important in this travel traffic is to remain yourself and don’t let others to fool you up. My farm, my house – my rules. Take it or leave it. It’s also important to express clearly basic rules before people come here. Other hosts have no problems with assertive expression what they expect from others. I also shouldn’t. Maybe I was sometimes too soft or shy. We have now generation alpha. Generation alpha rules. I should be more assertive and tough and clarify things before people come. Then such meetings should be okay and go smoothly. 

Poles


I had to take back horses from a meadow to which they got broken into. It is my meadow, but I want them to graze in orchard first. I have cut some poles for the fruit trees. Not many, because the chainsaw stopped working. But several. Anyway, now need to bring them to the orchard. Okay. Basement. Need to make space there for potatoes. And need to make a gate for the tractor coming across a field. A new cat is visiting my settlement since two days. It is wild, but I hope to tame it. I brought out some milk for him/her. I found more eggs today. Today I will eat pancake because I have already ready pastry for it, but at supper I will eat scrambled eggs.


I think I need to replant these plants to other spots. But rather next year - I have too much other tasks to do now.
