Not a single day without DIY. There is a small space in the basement under the staircase full of tools and leftovers from previous renovations. We collected every it-will-be-good-for-something kind of thing there. After six years of constant revamping and renovating the house, this small cranny was brimming with things we must get rid of for once. So, with this in mind, after breakfast, I hurried down to the basement and started my shift by separating the necessary things from the unnecessary ones. It took me two hours to check every item and decide whether to keep it. I installed an IKEA shelf to store the saved items. Even though the pile in my office got bigger after the separation, I'm happy with the result. There is only one thing left to solve: organizing the removal of said items to the landfill. Another project I must finish next week is the railing. I have to grind the staves and then paint them before the locksmith comes to install them. I have my fingers crossed that I'll be capable of getting through with it. I dearly wish the whole DIY and house renovation were over!

I wanted to study today, but I got distracted by the amount of lessons I'd planned to revise. After a long hiatus, starting over an effective process is always challenging. I must finish the DIY tasks next week and focus on my studies and teaching. I need to get back in the saddle of the English language horse.

The weather was terrible today. It was rainy and cold, so we didn't see the sun. The highest temperature was around +17°C, which made the afternoon walk with Abby in my shorts and beloved TEVA sandals a tad chilly. According to the weather forecast, tomorrow will be much warmer, and the rest of the week will resemble summer. I wonder if the deers come out tonight to fornicate a bit in this cold?!
