Earlier this week, I treat myself to a movie marathon. Heck, we just live once, we might as well enjoy every moment of it, and my feeling for the time was to watch some movies, alone or not. I really enjoyed them. Checking first the movie app on ipod, I decided to watch ‘The Last [...]

My mother-in-law called early today. She said she had put up their Christmas tree back to their attic. Mine, I have not. The year is not over yet. It’s just too beautiful to hide.

We have a merry and loud Christmas eve this year. Loud in the sense that all sound systems here were operated in full volume, at least just for few minutes. And it was not yet New Year’s eve! We have several young people caroling us (they already had few times the previous days) with their [...]
