The year is ending, and I confess: I don’t feel ready.
This 2014 had its ups and downs, but it was a year unlike any other in many respects.
It was the year I realised how much I like London and why. The year I started thinking about moving.
Many other good things also happened,...
Christmas is approaching, and the number of things done is not increasing. I have managed to freshen up the place, though it’s still not what I’d like; luckily, change is easy enough.
Tiredness has now reached guard level, and yesterday, while I was at my favourite hairdresser’s, I fell asleep dry, despite the house full of people and confusion,...
It has been about two months that I have had a list of five things to do that I cannot do in any way. Two months in which I should have found the time, the time has passed, and that list remains there.

Getting to this post was quite a feat, but I have already written about it in other posts. I certainly learnt a few things: I will not do something like this again, not even in another form (like photos). It is far too challenging for my limited possibilities.
The other important thing I realised is that I will never write for a living....
In fifteen years of work, I have changed thirty different companies, small, medium, and large. I have also had all kinds of contracts, except VAT. I have worked with so many different people on so many different projects.
