  • This week we went from feeling a bit helpless and down to feeling more happy and fulfilled. We spent time prioritising connecting with each other enjoying our beautiful surroundings, because what is the point of building a homestead in the mountains of Spain if we're not having fun in the process? This is after all the main goal we have to remind ourselves of constantly so that we don't loose perspective. Reviewing our 2024 goals and progress highlighted it. How are you doing with your yearly goals?
    Online games:

    Our favourite chocolate chip cookies (cut the sugar in half at least!): www.noracooks.com/vegan-choco...
    Home-style sushi. This recipe is very versatile but you'll definitely need:
    - sushi rice

    Our favourite fillings:
    - stir-fried firm tofu (marinated with soy sauce and curry powder)
    - stir-fried shiitake mushrooms or similar
    - avocado
    - cucumber
    - carrot
    Fresh spring rolls. This recipe can also be adapted a million ways, but you'll need:
    - rice paper sheets
    Our favourite fillings:
    - rice noodles
    - Granny Smith apple
    - mint
    - stir-fried firm tofu (marinated with soy sauce and curry powder)
    - red pepper
    - carrot
    - cucumber
    - carrot
    - spinach / lettuce
    - sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce to garnish

    You are both wise beyond your decades…all couples need to have this much fun together, even when times are not the best. Maybe especially then. Thank you for reminding me to shake it up and get some laughter rolling!

    As a bad sleeper, magnesium has helped. Also vitamin B12. Also regular bed time and no screen time after 10.
    My sympathy it makes you feel exhausted

    19:18 in my relationship it's the same but the other way around. I am the constantly thinking person who spends time productively, cleans, organizes, at high speed, and my husband is the one who maybe later, maybe relax, maybe play, maybe have a hobby, is a man at low speed, lazier. I think it's good that such different people pair up, because I would be so busy doing and thinking about everything on my own, without breaks and rest, and he wouldn't be able to handle anything without my mobilization, productivity and organization. Such relationships have a positive impact on each other, provided that people understand each other's needs and limitations.

    16:18 maybe roof windows will help with lighting the cottage? several pieces in critical places. it is worth considering such options when renovating the roof, because natural light means health and lower electricity consumption 🔌💡

    • @WaleandMe
      @WaleandMe  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Good idea! In the redesign of the cabin we have included three roof windows to bring more light in. We cannot wait till next year when the roof is renovated!

    maybe you should learn to knit & crochet, or even sewing/needle works, it would be less painful LOL
    good job on the garden games fun; what is that old fashion game with the hoops & you use a ?mallet to hit the balls through the hoops? or you could put an obstacle course around the garden
    chronic fatigue is different for everyone, i feel mine coming back but doing things you love & learning new things does help with it (like depression) finding the right foods to eat, gut problems can be from grains? whole raw grains are not good for us, it's basically bird food, hard for us to digest
    it's fine tuning your diet as well, good luck with it, hugs from me, Selina xxx
    all the best

    I ride a bike for fun and relaxation. I have an old one, probably about a hundred years old. I call my bike jelly because everything shakes like it's about to fall apart, which was nice living in a big city - everyone was moving to the sides when I was riding through the market square in the center of Krakow. Currently, temporarily living in a small Polish town, I ride through forests and meadows and tell my bike that it is a high-class mountain bike and that we can handle it in difficult conditions. 🚴 I have seen many channels on YT who receive electric bikes from sponsors and manufacturers. I think they would be great in your circumstances.

      Totally get that! That was our biggest worry moving here, that we’d be really lonely. And although we luckily entertain each other quite well, we do wish we had more friends in the area to do fun stuff with.

    Have you tried taking vitamin D supplements? Living in a cold area where we're always covered up causes chronic vit. D deficiency. We should ideally get at least 20 minutes of sunshine on our skin every day, but in cold countries it's very difficult.
