    Are you still here?

    Are you still here? Are you still reading my posts? I have an ambiguous relationship with my blog and blogging habit. When I started blogging in 2016, I might have taken blogging a bit too seriously. Taking on challenges whenever I could, but it became a lifeline. At the time…

    If we were having coffee – 26th September 2020

    Remember? I used to do these coffee shares on a weekly basis for quite some time. This morning, I thought that maybe I should join in again. In a year, where virtually meeting with friends and family has become the new normal, I no longer know how to welcome you,…

    The art of avoiding

    Today, I have a strange day. The kids aren’t with me, S. is working and as it is a Monday I have almost no lessons to teach. This means it is the perfect day to do things that I should do. Such as cleaning the bathroom (something I really do…

  • where to start?

    I don’t know what to write today. That’s why this post is going up on a Sunday and not a few days ago. Actually, it is not that I don’t know what to write, it is that I have no idea where to start… Should I be writing a story,…

    The Winds of Change and Continuity

    The Winds of Change and Continuity Jean-Jacques rolled up the sails of his windmill, made sure that everything was in order before he headed home after a very long day. A strong wind had woken him during the night, a wind like he was lucky to have once or twice…
