My first A to Z Challenge – Reflections Post
April is over, 30 days that went by in a flash! There is more than one reason for that: April was a beautiful month, we had summer weather most of the time. | During April I worked quite a bit more than in the previous months. | And of course there…

Y is for Yawn – A to Z Challenge 2015
“Yawning is contagious, others will automatically join in”, this might not be the exact quote, but I remember reading about yawning with my ESL (English as a second language) teacher in middle school. She always made me read strange texts to provide me with diverse vocabulary. I recall a few…

X is for Xenophobia – A to Z Challenge April 2015
Oh what a horrible thing Xenophobia! According to wikipedia, Xenophobia is the unreasonable fear of what is perceived to be foreign or strange.

W is for Wawel Castel – A to Z Challenge April 2015 | Wawel Schloss | Château du Wawel

N is for Nothing – A to Z Challenge April 2015
No, I was not going to use the word nothing to write nothing in this post. I am actually interested in what nothing means, how the concept of nothing works. Does nothing exist? Or can nothing exist? How can we define nothing? Do we actually know what nothing is? If I would have written nothing for this post, wellyou would…
