And breathe… We have been back at school for just over a week now (a very last year for the oldest, a very first year for the youngest!) and finally, I feel like I can catch up with things that I have been meaning to do forever, like work for example, and being able to […]

The Greyhound on the Test
As someone who travels quite a lot in “normal times” (anyone else getting sick of any phrase containing the word “normal”?), it’s amazing how otherworldly a stay somewhere close to home can feel after some 26+ weeks mostly staring at the same four walls… I am not joking about the “close to home part either” […]
