On Monday, 18 September, I went to the consulate to renew my passport.
Not being in a particular hurry, I did it in the afternoon (they do urgent ones in the morning).
Apart from forgetting my old passport at home (luckily I was early and my sweetheart was wonderful enough to bring it to me), and having to prepare everything they ask you to bring beforehand,...
At midnight on April 8, after 76 days, the quarantine of Wuhan, the Chinese city where the coronavirus epidemic started (SARS-CoV- 2), which so far has caused more than 80 thousand deaths worldwide.

When I booked the tickets for the Bauhaus concert, which miraculously was the same day as my birthday, and I asked my brother if he was coming with me,...
I’m turning fifty today.
For those of my generation, the goals of a person my age would have been buying a house, getting married, having children, having a good job, and preparing for retirement.

And so happy anniversary to us,...
It has been almost a month since we arrived here, and a lot has happened.
We have moved four times, and before long, we will probably change again, but we now have our own micro flat now.
Despite interviews, around ten so far, I think, I still haven’t found a job; the good news is that my better half has found one,...
I know, I realise it: to say that I feel lucky to have someone like my sweet half beside me is getting boring.
But it is: and today is his birthday.
There’s not much to say: I would much rather have been fine, not to have worried him, and to have adequately celebrated.
But it was not possible for me,...
Spending the anniversary of our civil union in the hospital is not exactly the best, but I would say that, in any case, I have nothing to complain about, on the contrary.
Yesterday a nurse jokingly said, addressing my sweetheart: of course, she could have chosen another way to attract attention.
It stuck with me because if there is one thing I don’t lack,...
