Hi! Finally I had two days "holiday" which I could spend without continuous phone ringing and annoying tasks. The winter is knocking on the front door, so firstly I finished my gardening works. This activity was digging up the middle part of my garden. The result is the following. After this I…

     I haven't written anything long time ago so let's see what happened in the last months... First of all, some people disallowed my profile photos, because I took pictures of my bike with me and there was no seat on that frame. Therefore I made some effort to satisfy this…
