Day #19 Today I meant to tell you something about InDesign, the professional DTP program by Adobe. This will be for another day, instead I went for a walk with my friend and her dog on Bruderholz near Basel. Bruderholz used to be my favourite place to go walking with Chica all these years. It is here that I …
A Day In The Life … Getting Things Done And A Football Match
Day #18 Normally Wednesdays are cleaning days as my much appreciated whirlwind comes every other week to organise my household. I have been preserving lots and lots of jars these last weeks and never got around to labelling them. Guess what? Today is the day to get things done: Sugo napoletano that has simmered for 48 …
Inspiration
Day #17 I had some free time today as an appointment was cancelled. And I indulged myself by spending some time on Facebook, liking this and sharing that. And then the following caught my eyes and attention: Post by Dalai Lama. So true and I trust his Holiness does not mind my borrowing it. I want to share …
A Day In The Life … Half Term
Daily Blogging So Far Day #16 Half term: do we not get a holiday at half term? What have I learnt so far, what insight have I gained? Truth is that my daily journal writing gets shorter and shorter. Probably because I take the time allocated for it to write my daily posts. But I am digressing, …
A Day In The Life … The Best App Ever
Day #15 Today we drove to a place near Zurich to visit a trader fair. This would make for a nice blog post but I want to tell you a different story today: When I came home in the late afternoon I wanted to use my mobile and could not find it anywhere. No panic, think first where you …
A Day In The Life … On The Road Again: Route 65
Day #14 I spent a very lazy Saturday, not doing much. I think I deserve a break after all the work I have accomplished last week! In the evening we went to a music club near Basel, Rockfact, for a startup concert by a new country band, Route 65. Rockfact in Münchenstein Seven highly talented musicians, practically all amateurs, took …
A Day In The Life … Cheers! Happy Friday!
Day #13 Friday 13th! It has been a long week for all of us, working hard on new projects and getting rid of overdue jobs. I wish you all a Happy Friday, enjoy your afterwork activities. I certainly deserved this freshly draught beer in the evening. Cheers! Have a great weekend and take some time off your screen! …
A Day In The Life … On Tackling New Things
Day #12 After a long day working offline (yes, this exists) on a new project I was sitting in front of my screen writing in my journal and asking myself how I was feeling about tackling something new. Excited – yes, but whereas in former years I was all going forward, I keep having second thoughts. Is it the …
A Day In The Life … Green Thumbs And The Weather
Day #11 Today I picked the last tomatoes of this year’s miserable harvest. In spring it was too cold and too wet, in summer too hot and too dry and now that autumn is on the threshold they have given up! I might have two left hands but I have always prided myself on having green thumbs. Last year my …
A Day In The Life … That’s What She Said
Day #10 This evening I went for a walk, I needed some physical exercise after a long day in front of the screen. Definitely summer has gone and autumn has taken my favourite season’s place. I am still a little bit uneasy with it. Today is the first day I put on socks, flip-flops bye-bye. I do not …
