New design

Yes, you are still on the correct page. I just felt like a new design and I didn't discard any of the old entries. However, the previous photos have gone for the moment, but I'll probably find a way to display those again... In the meantime this link will get you to some new photos I took rather recently.

Today was probably the last nice day of this summer if one's allowed to call it that middle of October. The weather forecast for the next couple of days is rather gloomy and to some extend reminds me of the rainy days in Ireland. Despite the outlook, I'm rather thrilled at the moment.
I recently picked up golf as an new hobby and committed with buying a very affordable set of clubs. I also hit the course a few times already so that I feel I made good use out of the weather. It's so much fun, especially now with leaves turning yellow and red.
I should probably mention that golf is not seen an elite sport, or at least not worse than many other sports, over here (again quite similar to Ireland). One can play rather inexpensively and many condos even have a small booth in the common areas that allow for playing virtual golf (real golf clubs and real ball, but playing against a screen that projects the flight and spin of the ball). So does the condo I'm living in.
As Ontario is changing its colors I decided to change the existing blog design a good bit. If you have a minute let me know what you think. I also uploaded a few new pictures.

Black Friday

I've tried so far to keep tech out of my blog. Despite all of my previous effort, I decided to break with tradition for this entry. Recently, I bought a MacBook Air which is slick, stylish, lightweight, surprisingly fast and definitely on the pricey side. Actually since it matters for this entry, I have to be a little more precise. I bought the laptop mid November. My old one is almost utterly useless since it gets hot as hell when you 'sleep' deprive it for more than 10 min. As I tend to do, I payed up at once and forgot about the expense almost just as quick. Now, for the next part I have to explain something that not everyone may be aware of. Thanksgiving is a much bigger holiday here in North America than it was in Europe. There is turkey dinner and pumpkin carving and costumes and other traditions that Europeans just don't do, even though at least Germany has the holiday ("Erntedankfest") as well. The date when this happens is a different one for the...

Years beyond

Many, many years later I'm finally willing to put some time into this blog again. I saw the last post was about a car I bought 3 or 4 cars ago. So it's been a minute.  Today life is different from then. My "firsts" are mostly experiences with the kids, not purchases. Canada as an experience has become tamed and normal for me. Mind you with small kids I have not explored Canada as a whole as much. As with COVID-19 I'm bound to my office at home - similar to many other office workers. So the kids have become a great source of distraction.  I will admit that I'm not missing the commute from the suburbs of the GTA in my daily routing. I like to think that this gives me roughly 90 to 120 minutes back in my day. However considering that I'm crowded every time I want to grab a quick coffee upstairs it probably is be much less.  And yes, I'm in the basement. The coolest and quietest of all the places in the house. Unfortunately, it's also the ugliest and d...

Munich short trip

I made it to Munich for the second wedding in Germany and back. I was only there for less than 5 days again, so the jetlag is really impeding my focus right now. However, I felt like I should keep the blog going nevertheless. So here we are, I'm back in Toronto. The weather is a lot nicer than it was in Germany. Everything is coming together quite nicely. A new bookshelf for the office should be arriving end of next week and the couch hopefully arrives mid August. It'll be nice to get organized and have a place to chill properly. The couch delivery was a long time in the making; 2.5 months to be precise. Which even in hindsight sounds like a crazy long time. But even after extensive search for alternative furniture the decision was easy since there was no equal when it came to quality or style. Okay, I'll keep this entry short since despite all the coffeine I consumed throughout the day I'm about to fall asleep resting my head on the laptop.
