Happy New Year of the Lucky Rabbit

01 January 2023

Where were we? Ah, yes, the new year. This 2023, the rest of us will have an extra national holiday day, but my birthday will be on Holy Saturday (which I am not very happy about). Date Day of the week Bank holiday 2 January Monday New Year’s Day (substitute...


Something's happening

01 August 2022

This July was also tiring because of that week when we almost reached 40 degrees, and then the temperatures plummeted (about 10 degrees). Between the heat and the increased workload, I feel exhausted, and for the Holidays, those with a capital H, I will have to wait until September. Meanwhile,...


Happy Birthday to me

08 April 2021

This semi-prime number, 51, is a bit like that, neither meat nor fish (my anguish does not subside).I don’t really want to party, and anyway, the restaurants and pubs here reopen after 12. Since January, we have been in a hard and pure lockdown; perhaps (perhaps) after May 17th, we...

#268 - Forced holidays

02 August 2014

#36 - The extent of the disaster

13 December 2013

I only realised last night that the last time I had a permanent contract was precisely three years and eight months ago, that famous contract for which I am still in litigation.This in itself would not even be such a big deal if it were not for the fact that...


Happy New Year

03 September 2012

Some events seem small but make you practically question your whole life without much of a reason.Then you add to that the rain, the cold weather, the people who have the terrible habit of coming back from their holidays all at once, the Indian neighbour who plays loud music at...
