My new home country has a thing called talkoot: it means people get together to do some work for someone (or the community), then this someone offers food & sauna (and that means socialising, an excuse to crack a beer etc). Historically used when building houses, it is now a neat trick to both get together and get some work done. Or free food & sauna.
Having kids, having to work…
Thank you for your service though.
