It was November, it was definitely November. Rachel looked out the window. Rain was pouring down from the grey almost black sky. November. What a month. No light. Rachel grabbed her bag, her umbrella and glanced at her feet. The shoes, that she was wearing were most certainly not going to help her keep her … Continue reading The darker season

Truth – T – A to Z Challenge 2019
Earlier this year I mentioned on my blog that I want to change professionally. From time to time I have had posts in a self-analysis style. In a way sharing these thoughts, makes me feel less lost.

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 not enjoy doing), or pre-write … Continue reading The art of avoiding
When LinkedIn fails you
LinkedIn has the tendency to send me job opportunities. It can be quite annoying, especially as most jobs don't correspond to my profile or interests. Being an underpaid "happiness officer" for a French dating-app never really appealed to me. Still, I never turned off the notifications, as one never knows if something interesting might come up. … Continue reading When LinkedIn fails you

Weekend Coffee Share 20th November 2016
Well it might be a bit late opportunity coffee now. But as not everyone is in my time zone you might enjoy a late night chat. If we were having a very late chat, I'd tell you that I treated myself to a day off today. Lately I have been working 7 days per week … Continue reading Weekend Coffee Share 20th November 2016
T is for Teaching #AtoZChallenge

You might enjoy this post in relation to time. I have no idea when I first … Continue reading T is for Teaching #AtoZChallenge
Weekend Coffee Share – 23 April 2016
If we were having coffee then we would be having tea. I am currently drinking some Puh Er, but I can make you a Oolong (either from Taiwan or China) or a white tea, or a black or green one (these three are from China) if you wish. I can completely understand if you aren't … Continue reading Weekend Coffee Share – 23 April 2016
