After the post below
I decided to work from home both thursday and friday. On
thursday I went to the gym for a solo session. On friday
both Tina and I drove down to Lolland and our
summerhouse. On saturday we teamed up and began
replacing broken glass sections in our greenhouse. With
our new glass cutter it was kind of easy. It was like
easy and funny. Just cut and when break the glass apart
- not hard at all. Pretty fast we had the sections we
wanted and went down to our greenhouse to change them.
We drove back home
saturday afternoon. At home I could feel something on it
way - coughing and snot on it way. Monday it all went to
shit and I had to call in sick. I mostly was in my bed
monday to saturday. On sunday I began to walk around at
home again. Yesterday monday I worked from home and to
day I went work in person. Not on my bike but by metro
and train. I still have a mild headache because of the
snot and coughing. But I think I might survive this
time. Tomorrow is my last working day this year. I have
forced five days off and then the usual christmas days
off.
Because of christmas
I don't when I will make the next update.

- Black mood
I went to the gym
last thursday for the first time after the Nordic
Championship. They were still building new routes on the
big overhang, which had been striped because of the
competition. It was an okay session, but I could feel in
my fingers, that it had been too long since the last
climbing session. We had a lot of plans for the weekend.
On saturday we went by Tina's our oldest niece and her
newborn daughter Thea. Later we were supposed to meet up
for dinner at my oldest brother. That was canceled
because they got sick. For the moment there is some kind
of epidemic with coughing and fever.
On saturday we first
went to my parents for breakfast. Later we went by
Tina's sister for coffee and cake because it was first
Sunday in Advent.
I went alone to the
gym on monday. My buddy was out of town. I hanged out by
the auto belay and did some bouldering. They have build
this fine black route a 6C by the auto belay which is
perfect to train fingers because of the crimpy
handholds.
Work is just crazy.
I don't know what to do or how to make it stop. I guess
I just have to endure until christmas where we have
forced vacation between christmas and new year. For the
first time in a long time I actually have thought about
looking for something new. It was only for a minute or
two - but still.

- Nordic Championship
I joined up as a
volunteer for the Nordic Lead Climbing Championship on
saturday where I was belaying the climbers. That turned
out to be great fun. Initially it was just the
qualification round. But they ask if I could do the
finals as well. In the finals we were just two belaying
the men and two for the women. It was actually a hard
job. I didn't want to short rope anyone and want no one
to hit the ground either (of cause - makes sense). The
climbers fell on all the clips even just after the first
and second clip. One also fell just as he was doing a
clip. All in all it went as good as it could and it was
a great experience to meet all those very cheerful and good climbers.
The competition was
live one
YouTube and you can watch it over and over again.
You can recognize me as the tall fat bald guy. Out of the
three matching that description - I am the most fat one with
the hoodie and placing the rope bag against the wall. In
some strange way this gig has given me some life energy
back and has put my winter depression on standby for the
moment. I even feel like maybe to begin drinking wine
again. But before I carry myself away - I haven't been
drinking in november what so ever and when it comes to
december - I will take it very easy.
The last week it has
been unusual cold in
Denmark.
On sunday I had to drive alone down to Lolland and
prepare the house for temperatures below zero. I turned
on the radiator in the outbuilding where the pellet
furnace is and all the water installations. With that
done, we can turn on the furnace from home if the
temperature inside gets near frost. On tuesday morning I
had to turn it on but locked it on max 55 percent so it
wouldn't just eat all the pellet in 3 days time. 55
percent equals a water temperature around 40 degrees.
Hopefully it will get warmer later in the week so we can
turn it off again and save some money.
To day it was
freezing cold in the morning on my bike. It tried out
this turtleneck thing I bought years ago and haven't
used which have a gab for the mouth. It made me look so
stupid - but it worked very nice and kept my face from
getting frozen up.
At work the guys one
the first floor have gone completely nuts about
christmas. There are just so many christmas balls
hanging every where.

- I still meet stupid people
I wrote about a
stupid man a month ago and how he cursed at me at a
crosswalk, where he took the red light. I meet him again
this morning! This time he hit a young women again as he
took the red light - again. He immediate cursed at the
women and blaming her for the "accident" and was kind of
threatening and standing very intimidating close to her.
I decided to make it my problem and pushed him away
scolded him about his responsibility to look out when he
do at red light and who he should look out and take care
for other people. It was very very close to a becoming a
fight. At the end he took his bike and left. I guessed
it must have seen kind of violently out - but I shielded
the women from more of his asshole manners. I guess I
really mean, that there is no free card for assholes in
my world - and I am not afraid to put my balls to the
wall and make it count. Guess it would have been
different if it was a big guy - or maybe I would just
have handled it in a different way. Afterward I have
been thinking of my temper - I might have to work on it
if I meet type like that again and not to escalate a
situation from 1 to 10 immediately because of the
experience with this asshole. Maybe restraint myself
just a bit.
We spend the weekend
down at Lolland just relaxing and working on our 3000
pieces puzzle. We check the attic for leaking roof tiles
but found nothing new. I think I will try to fix the
last and third hole next time we come by. Saturday
morning was so awesome with almost clear skies with a
hint of frosty dew.
For sometimes
(translate to more than 5 years) I have had two climbing
pants in our wardrobe because the elastic waistband had
rotten away (not literally). On wednesday I decided to
try and fix them - mostly because news easy cost more
than 100 euros. I went by a sewing shop and bought 5
meters of new rubber band. At home I took our our sewing
machine, which I am the only one using, and began to fix
the problem. With a safety pin I insert the new robber
band. Afterward I adjusted the length to my liking.
Finally I used the sewing machine to fix the new
waistband permanently. The dark pair also had a hole at
the right pocket which I fixed by patching with needle
and thread. I still need to test them out at the gym
before I know if it was worth the efforts. But it looks
cool and you have to look close to see the waistband
hack.

- A bit winter of a depression
We had both last
week off. Tina had a scanning at the hospital on tuesday
morning. Afterward we were down south. We were at
Maribo
around midday and eat lunch at McDonalds just next to
the expressway and went to our house afterward. We think
there most have been some kind of a house marten up in
the attic. There were some larger pieces of crap laying
around. Also we could hear a mouse working around. I
cleaned up the crap and we managed to get two of the
mice in the traps. The mice are very careful and often
they don't trigger the traps even though I set them up
as very sensitive. One of the two we got was still
alive, but with a broken back. I had to step on it to
finish it off fast, so it wouldn't suffer any more.
Up on the attic I
found two holes in the roof which I had to fix from the
outside. That was very tricky as the roof is too steep
for walking or crawling. But I took our long ladder and
laid it against the roof evenly and then climbed up. The
one hole was a cracked roof tile which I just glued
together with some roof fixer. The other one was just a
lose tile which I just put back in place again. We also
installed new LED light on the attic which we left on
the scare away any new house marten to get in on the
attic. Doing the installation I found yet another hole
which is another crack tile. That hole we don't have
time to fix, so we just put a bucket underneath. I think
all the hole have been there for years with out making
problems - but I rather have a house without any holes.
We began to redo or
repair a new section on the first floor. It is so hard
to clean off old wallpaper but we hope it will be nice
when we finish it. Now it just look so trashy.
Work is still wired.
My boss got demoted to team manager and one of the
current team managers will the a temporary boss for 6
months. I don't know, if my old then will be back or
what. Anyway I try to abstract myself from it all and
focus on the job instead. I still have so much to do and
have even begun to forget things.
All in all the last
two weeks have been a kind of a downer for me. I have
even stopped drinking wine in the weekend and a shot in
the evenings because I feel so down. Only positive think
is my climbing which still got pretty good and still
without any injuries. Hopefully that low mood is just
temporary or I guess I have to go to the doctor or
something.

- Wasting my time away
Two days after the
latest update I got sick with some kind of flu.
Wednesday evening all was good and joy. Thursday morning
my throat was rotten and I had to call in sick. Until
tuesday this week I spend more or less my time in bed
sleeping and watching movies and doing nothing.
Wednesday to friday I worked from home. So I wasted one
week and two days of my life to nothing! Considering the
state of the world I guess it could be worse.
One of the movies I
saw was "Meg
2 - The Trench" with
Jason
Statham. Let me quote some of a review from
IMDB "Clearly
Jason Statham just did this movie for the money. The
story is ridiculously bad, I mean seriously bad! Statham
is like a constipated statue the whole time." I
think this hits spot on! It was just so bad. Even worse
it was chinese made - so it might have subject for
censorship or even worse self censorship. Usually I
avoid movies like that - but I gave it a try because of
Jason Statham.
I got Tina on
thursday with my flu and she also had to call in sick.
Lucky for her it seams to run it course faster than with
me. She is almost up and running again.
Yesterday I changed
the tiers on the car to winter. After I bought the TPMS
tool "QUICKSET
X" and a torque wrench it is just so easy. It is
just a bit of a dirty work because I am so sloppy to
wash and polish the wheels - but that is life!
I wanted to buy
the newest album with Lord of the lost -
Blood
and glitter as downloaded mp3. That turned out to be
hard as usual. I really hate steaming services which try
to control ones life and when you cancel you stand back
like a loser with nothing. Not even on napalmrecords.com
was it possible! Usual in situations like that I might
do an unauthorized. Later in the evening I found out,
that Bandcamp had it
for sale and as download for 10 dollars. Of cause I
bought it and even gave 3 extra dollars as support. This
way I can head my music when ever I want in privately.
2023-10-24
- I am an angry people magnet
Twice since last
update I have meet angry people on the bike path though
Copenhagen. Thursday last week I meet an angry one
just before
long
bridge. He didn't want to wait for a green light and
I didn't give him any room. He was actually a very funny
guy, we followed each other for quite a while and argued
in a decent language. I think he thought I feel afraid
that he was going to flow me. But I guess he then
realized I just found him so funny - I really don't care
about people who gets upset went the world don't turn in
their way. I turned away because I wanted to stop at
Lidl. He didn't
follow me there or at least I don't think so - I don't
even remember looking for him.
Monday morning I
meet another one as I crossed the street at the
crosswalk as I left home for work. It too was green for
me and I just walked in my usual phase as I do in the
morning. At the bike path I did a 90 degree turn and
went on my bike. He wanted to pass me faster than I walk
ignoring the red light. He cursed at me as the passed me
and spat on the road - so childish. He was an elderly
man and of cause I asked him why he cursed at me and
what was troubling him. This one was just brain dead
talking trash. I kind a feel sorry for him - after I
laughed out loud. Imagine beginning monday morning at
6:30 and already be so angry and stressed out already,
it is just so sad!
We had a big storm
on friday. Tina called home thursday afternoon from work
asking if we could drive to Lolland already that
evening. She had asked if she could get friday off.
Luckily I had my work computer with me home so I could
work from home (aka summerhouse) friday while she had a
day off. The storm was very intense but didn't cause any
problems for us. Even the garden looked okay afterward.
But near the coasts there were some problems. The wind
came from the east and pushed water though the
Baltic Sea creating a storm surge.
I have been stressed
out at work and needed to relax this weekend. On
saturday we drove to Red Cross and bought a new lamp for
our dining room - it only cost 16,5 Euro and look very
nice and solid. Later on saturday after a power nap I
fixed one of the doors on the first floor which had been
a bit banged up. I did some minor woodwork one it and
painted one side. On sunday we both went out in the
garden cleaning up and removing some summer plants.
I have only had solo
sessions at the gym. My usual buddy has been on vacation
and I don't want to press him. Hopefully he will be back
soon. But still I am going twice a week doing autobelay
climbing, bouldering and other stuff.
2023-10-17
- The end is not near; yet
I went alone to the
gym last thursday, just for a quick session. Later in
the evening after a bath and some food I drove down to
our house at Lolland. I worked from home friday from the
house at Lolland. Tina had to work late on friday. On
saturday she took the train down to Lolland as well. We
didn't do much except struggling some hours in the
garden. We have begun on a huge 3.000 pieces puzzle. So
far it has only been baby steps. As we drove back home
to Copenhagen sunday it already gets a quarter past 6
leaving the most of the trip in darkness.
Work is still very
busy. I began monday to make a time schedule with all
the deadlines the next two weeks. Then I focused on
getting things done instead of helping everyone else and
doing their jobs. As I left tuesday I was ahead of that
timetable. Is is not completely dark in the mornings and
it has been cold'ish since the weekend with only around
10 degrees.
Nothing else has
happed in my life the last week. I feel like a zombie on
autopilot navigating life without much motivation for
the moment.
2023-10-10
- Not many pictures this time
Most of my time and
thought are currently spend on work. It is just so busy
for the moment with some many task coming from city hall
and internal in the organization. I just feel so tired
when I come home except when I go to the gym. Somehow my
mind seems to wake up out there in the gym.
On friday I meet up
with my old colleges from around 8 years ago for dinner
at the restaurant "flame"
- right next to the building at city center where I once
worked. That was awesome! I went home already around 9
pm because Tina and I wanted to spend the weekend at our
house on
Lolland and I had to drive. Maybe I was like a
zombie most of the weekend just relaxing after a hard
work week and maybe I am just a little stressed out. I
know we change the water tap in the kitchen because it
had begun leaking and it was just getting worse. On
sunday I slept a lot and after lunch did the lawn.
Monday after work I
went for the gym. My usual buddy is currently a bit
unstable, but I had a great solo session and left the
gym with sore fingers and muscles - just as I like.
2023-10-04
- Each day going by
I drove down to
Lolland last friday alone for the weekend. I didn't do
much saturday, just doing small stuff and doing the
lawn. Om saturday I tried to fix the water tap in our
bath. It had this heat regulator that has been stuck for
a while. It tried to loosen it up first with force and
then with a wrench - just to get it moving again. That
was a fail as the thing I tried to get moving snapped
off. With Tina at home I had to fix it or get my ass
killed. Thankfully everything was standard. I just had
to go to the nearest home depot (Jem&Fix)
and buy a new water tap. With Tina it is easy, as long I
don't buy the cheapest - something mid range is perfect.
Pretty fast the change was done. I had to turn off the
water out on the street, but that was no problem as we
turn off the water every time we leave for Copenhagen.
I went for the gym
last thursday and again this monday. Things are going
great. I am now able to do three 6b's on the large
overhang without getting completely overdone. I just
hope my body don't betray me with an injury. It is
getting so dark so fast now. I have to put lights on my
bike in the mornings and when I leave the gym in the
evenings. The weather is changing as well. The coming
weekend we might get temperatures below 15 degrees -
first time this fall.
Work is still a
story for it self. Lots of stuff to do and long working
days. It might go on as this until the end of october.
At least november usually is quite. The stores at the
local mini mall has begun selling christmas stuff -
jesus christ!
2023-09-27
- Back in the zombie routine
Sunday was a crap
day. Tina had invited for her knitting club but in the
last moment 3 canceled mostly because they wanted to see
some one else. That pissed Tina off and me to. Also
because of all the work she put into it and baking cake
and so on. I guess some people are not going to be
invited next time. Work has been kind of strange after
last week end my clash with the young colleague. I talk
to my boss about it too. In a way I don't want him to
get into problems but my boss already knew of cause. I
have decided not to see it as I getting him into
problems, but himself getting into problems because lack
of interest and motivation to be full hearted at work.
There should be no place for free riders at work. This
week has so fare been busy as expected - almost 4 hours
overtime in three days. But in november it will be
different quieted. That is how it is, this time in the
year.
I have stayed home
from the gym these first days to be with Tina to cheer
her up after the shitty sunday.
On wednesday I took
a detour home to enjoy the lovely warm weather. I guess
we had around 23 degrees and almost no wind. It will
most likely be the same tomorrow but I might quit on
time from work and head for the gym.
2023-09-24
- Back in the zombie routine
In a way it has been
a crappy week since the last update. Things at work are
so crazy almost surreal. Lots of stuff to do and no time
to do it. I had an argument with one of our young
colleagues about some technically stuff which he didn't
understood. In the end I had to give up. But what got me
was the lack of taking responsibility for one's own
learning. I was like he thought I was a teacher or
father and it was my fault and responsibility - like
hell no! Anyway - hopefully - just a bump on the road. I
had been so tired in the evenings. I have been going
early to bed and mostly slept though for like 8-9 hours.
The gym is a totally
different story. I went monday, wednesday and friday and
giving it all I had. On friday I onsighted yet another
6B on the big overhang and reclimb another 6B on the
overhang. I am really beginning to get strong. Hopefully
my body will keep up and no injuries.
On saturday we went
for dinner and wine at an old colleague and her husband.
They had just bought a big house. That was awesome and
time just went away.
2023-09-14
- It didn't go as hoped
I went to the gym on
thursday for a quick session and to see which progress
the route setter had done for the competition in the
weekend. We mostly climbed the short routes as the long
overhang was closed. The shorter routes felt harder as
the same grade on the long overhang, so I had a few
surprises. I ended my workday friday at
City hall for a talk about budget overbooking. Later
friday we drove down to Lolland for a weekend at our
summerhouse. Tina when home sunday, but I stayed until
tuesday evening. We didn't do much except cleaning out
the garden and do the lawn. The weather was super on
saturday which I ended by jumping in the sea in the
afternoon. Sunday was all fog and clouds. That was not
at all as the forecast had predicted. But it didn't
matter that much as I had bad bad hangover. As I left
tuesday I found a small wasp's nest on the 1. floor.
I removed it with
the ash vacuum cleaner I use to clean our pellet
furnace. It just said "whoosh" and it was gone. I got
such a shock that I dropped the vacuum cleaner and ran
away - hah hah - so stupid! But gone it was!
We have bought new
supplies of jigsaw puzzles for the coming winter. 6 in
total. Hopefully they will be enjoyable to make.
Work is a pain for
the moment. I had hoped to ship work early both monday
and tuesday down a Lolland but that turned out to be
impossible. To has left the four man team - one in june
and one in july. One has been sick on/off the last
months leaving just me mostly. That has left a lot of
mess for the coming economy forecast and in our
FM-system. A result of this mess was we had 20 mio. euro
to much in our budget. We have created lots of new
projects the last three months but forgot to
credit the pool at the same time - rookie mistake -
but that is how it is! At the same time the politicians
finish the
budget for next year. In total = long working hours.
2023-09-06
- The long workout toward christmas
Work - five days a
week until the end of the year. No more vacation or long
weekends - just work and more work. But hopefully I can
do some "working from home" even though I often do
longer working days from home. We stayed in Copenhagen
during the weekend. That was new, I think I have spend
every weekend since the end of june down at our summer
house or at least it feels that way. Tine had to work
saturday. On sunday we went my parents for breakfast and
discussion of the state of the world. Afterward we took
a tour around their garden. Afterward we went by
Bauhaus to by new
indoor plants for our summer house.
I went to the gym
monday alone for an easy session. All of the large
overhang is closed this week because of the competition
the coming weekend. They need at least 7 work days to
setup all the new routes. However it turned out to be
hard hard session because I kind of over did the boulder
problems regardless of all of my old injuries. Tuesday
morning my left elbow began to hurt again. I guess I
have to relax just a little to avoid further problems.
After work on tuesday I drove though Copenhagen to "Langelinie"
to buy a soft ice. The weather has been very nice with
temperatures over 25 degrees. The weather forecast for
next week looks just as good. We will most likely visit
our summerhouse during the coming weekend - maybe even
work from home monday and tuesday next week.
Here is some
pictures from the last seven days. It is getting darker
and darker in the mornings. I bet that in two or three I
have to put lights on my bike in the morning.
2023-08-30
- Work, gym, summerhouse and 7 liters of juice
We are getting back
to the old rhythm work, gym and down to our summerhouse
in the weekends. I went to the gym on thursday last week
for at good session. The long summer vacation has done
good on my fingers and sore joints and so on. Hopefully
this next session will be the best one ever. We drove
down to our summerhouse on Lolland friday and spend the
weekend. Mostly we were cleaning the garden and fixing small things.
Must important was ripping off one of our apple tress so
we could make apple juice. Another thing was the
continued clearing of the shrubs towards the road and
removing ivy all over the place. While I was working a
mouse came by to say hello. For at short while I
considered killing it - but it just just so cute, so I
let it go again. I dug up the rest of the potatoes and
made one of the high beds ready for the winter.
I worked from home
on tuesday because then I could save the transport time
and have even more time to make apple juice. First I
washed and cut out all the apple. I put them in this
huge box with water and lemon juice. The lemon juice
prevented the apples from turning brown. The through the
juice machine. It didn't take that long time but still
was a huge task. Afterward I filtered the juice twice
and the heated it up to around 82 degrees for five
minutes for pasteurization. Then on bottles which had
been cleaned with boiling water and the cheapest vodka
we could buy. We haven't yet tasted them - but we are
looking forward.

First one at the offices around 7 am thursday
morning

This little one was too cute to kill. I hope I
don't see it again in one of our traps
2023-08-23
- Back to Copenhagen and the boring everyday life
We came back to
Copenhagen sunday. For me it was after four weeks down
at our summerhouse at
Lolland.
Tina joined me after a week and we had three weeks
together. I didn't take that many pictures - as time
somehow just slipped away. I did a lot of fixing around
the house especially around our terrace and in the back
house.
Tina's sister and
our nice came by for a one night sleepover. Naturally
our nice wanted to try out my pellet rifle - that was
great fun. After almost two weeks the weather turn very
bad and cold so we drove down to
Leipzig
in Germany and stayed from thursday until monday. It was
just relaxing city vacation with shopping and eating out
very evening. Candy and liquor are very cheep in Germany
- so we bought quite a bit. A bottle of Ouzo 12, 38%, 70
cl. costs just under 20 Euro in Denmark. In Germany it
only costs 10 Euro - so I bough 5 bottles + some other
brands.
I will try and make
a commitment to begin to take pictures again and return
to weekly updates.

I know it is only
wednesday but on friday it is time for vacation. This
year it is going to be 4 weeks in row where the first
week is a solo vacation. That means just me alone
somewhere in Europe - but most likely down at our summer
house at
Lolland.
I drove down to our
summer house last friday alone. Tine had to work during
the weekend - so off I went. I drove very early in the
morning around 5 am. There were no traffic so I might
have made a speed record getting down there. I only
think around 3 cars overtook me on my way south and I
only drove 110 km/h - even where 130 km/h was allowed.
On friday evening I
took my and drove to
Kragenæs to see "Dodekalitten". That was a wired
thing. I took at "short cut" though the forest to avoid
the country road where the cars drive 80 km/h or
sometime more. I was a interesting bike trip as the road
at some places was non existing. I had to check myself
for ticks when I came home but found none. On my way
home I took the country road as it was much faster.
On saturday I began
fixing one of the windows at our winter garden. For some
time water have been coming though - more and more -
making it a problem. First I removed the windows to
inspect what was going one. That was very easy because
of this huge rotten hole in the wooden frame of the
window. I tried to clean as much as the rotten wood away
as possible. For the back I used a chemical wood filler,
in the from I used real wood as a replacement. I used my
big table saw to trim the pieces, that made it all much
easier. I finish it all with a lot of sealer to keep it
together and to keep the water out. Afterward I put in
the glass windows, the glass trimming. All I need is
painting this remade section.
I took sunday off or
more correctly almost off as I spend the afternoon doing
the lawn. I stayed until monday after work and drove
home to Copenhagen. I went to the gym on tuesday - just
for a cozy session alone. I managed to get quite pumped
on the auto belay routes.

- A hot weekend at Lolland and some more rain
We drove down to our
summerhouse on friday. The weather forecast promised
around 27 degrees which came though. On saturday I began
demolish and digging up an old concrete table. Removing
the table was very easy with a big hammer. Removing the
foot turned out to be heavy work as it was dug deep and
made of reinforced concrete. With the help of Tina I got
it up. I had to chop it up into three pieces to be able
to lift them onto the trailer and onto the recycling
station. Later saturday I took my new e-bike down
to the beach and took a dive to cool down.
The beach is so
nice. there are only fields and a few local houses
around - that means only a handful of families around.
Because of the
wonderful weather we stayed late sunday. We spent our
time in the garden just nursing around. I did the lawn
and once again took a dive at the beach afterward. It
ended up to just be a cozy sunday.
I went to the gym
yesterday - tuesday. It was nothing big - I find it hard
to push myself with this upcoming summer vacation in the
horizon. It is the same at work, where almost everyone
is gone on vacation.

- A real weather change
The weather has
really change from high sun at heat to rain, wind and
even some very intense rain storms. I guess the farmer
are very happy for the rain as it was very near a dry
out for them. As we went down to Lolland this weekend we
already know, that the garden work would be limited. I
went to the workshop and Tina went for the terrace and
painting the wall. If you touched the wall you would get
white chalk on your hands. We found out, I you just
washed it and the applied a primer the layer of pain
would stick just fine. So Tina went to work.
I went to the pellet
furnace and began a thorough cleaning and removing a lot
of the old grown dirt, that seems to really stick to the
walls in the furnace. Else the weekend came and went
away. We also stayed monday. Tina had a day off from
work and I could "work from home".
I went to the gym on
tuesday for a climbing session - than didn't went go as
well as I would have had it. I tried a 6B+ project but
fucked up my feet work and got totally pumped. What a
bummer - but that is life. I also have a finger on my
right hard that has begun to hurt went using finger
pockets. Maybe it is a good thing, that the summer
vacation is coming up. After the session I found out,
that small holes has develop on the shoe noses. It
incredible that it has taken so long but I have really
being working on my feet and correct placement. I will
send them to be resoled after the summer vacation.
