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,...
This Indian Summer weekend was challenging, but we still did something beautiful: the Guided walk of Brixton Hill, a walk with a guide who told us the history of Brixton Hill. If you are ever interested, there is also a windmill around there (which has its history, very interesting too).
The temperature was less dramatic today, and my tech story on (Extra)ordinary Tech Stories came out....
I’ve been using Gmail for 19 years now.
No, I haven’t stopped yet.
I wouldn’t have thought my laziness would last so long, and I thought I would have found an alternative solution long ago.

In the beginning, there were also lovely things like Twitter Lingo, which I had done a translation of,...
On 23 June 1998, 25 years ago, I graduated in Philosophy. Many little things went wrong, but I was thrilled because it was over; I had the degree in my pocket.
On 23 June 2016, 7 years ago, there was the infamous referendum on the UK remaining in the European Union.
On 23 June 2023, this year,...
I have done everything in such a rush over the last few days that I haven’t had time to realise that I am officially on holiday.
The heat broke out here, in the sense that it went from near-winter cold to oppressive heat without passing the start.
Right now I’m sipping a Spritz while I’m getting a pedicure,...
