Finally a good reason to test out the traveling features of this lovely van and going for a longer trip: My idea was to go to check out an old Mitsubishi Pajero 4×4 in the south of Finland about 6 hours driving time away from home. The 4×4 would be a good addition to our…

Sunday, 4th of July 2021. We packed all our things from grandma’s house and moved permanently into our „work-in-progress“ house. It is a bit of a trade-off but still we thought it is worth it. Our house is not ready, by far not but still it made sense at this point. What do you really…

Do you ever experience setbacks or do they come on a regular basis? Chances are that you might feel down, tired or sad and you want to give up on the task associated with the setback. High growth speeds We live here in Finland in a country of intense and rather long winter but also…

Quite a while ago I started to see that the area around the side door is wet and the paint starts to peel off. Time to go for cause. The outside light Didn’t start so obvious… I found the wood that was used to fix the window curtains to be wet at first. When I…

This lovely fellow has to have a hard time with us. It’s only place is outside under the naked sky and fully exposed to everything the Finnish winter has to offer: Snow, water, really cold temperatures, and sometimes – maybe sometimes – also sun and a bit warmer temperatures.Since quite the beginning I realized a…

How many times do you actually listen by purpose to a song and take the words really into your mind? I guess that nowadays a big amount of songs is more meant for entertainment purposes than for thoughtful listening and the conveyance of important messages. Actually, quite many “older” singer and songwriters used their songs…

A few weeks ago, I started the van again in the cold and left it running a few minutes before I was about to drive it away. Because I had to remove another car that was parked behind the van, I had to get out again of the van. And when I put my leg…

Or maybe this post should carry the subtitle “The thing about feelings”… It was in December 2020 when I went to pick up our new family member, the 1979 VW LT we call now “Peter”. At that point I had no idea what we would use this guy for but when I saw it online…
