Category: one second everyday

a short month at home with some rain, running, and nice movie nights. :) there was good food, some hiking, lots of snails in my cabbages, nice sunsets… a big of everything!

despite this being the month in which my thyroid got chopped in half, it wasn’t bad at all. the first half had a lot of friends and family, and the rest saw us back home, recharging, back to our old routines. so far, so good, 2025!

here we go, a whole year in 7 and a half minutes!

this year, i was sick quite a bit, but paulo recovered from his ailments thanks to the magical injections! we saw tiny niece transform into a toddler, and my other godchild got married and moved abroad. my brother got married too! it was the year we explored a bit of the south of france, as well as madrid and lisbon, and also the year we returned to utrecht and bielefeld. there was a lot of pizza and a lot of potatoes, but also tomatoes, cabbage and peas we grew ourselves! we made an effort to stay in touch with faraway friends as much as possible, and also walked quite a bit. it was a year of multiple elections, with a lot of chinese studying. we finally caught covid! also, i cut my hair short, got an electric bike and an inflatable swimming pool. and the bubble tea place in town opened and quickly became our favorite!

ah… so many good memories, such happy times! :) may 2025 be just as interesting!

december had a lot of christmas postcards writing, a lot of preparations ahead of our trip to the north… and then a lot of time spent with family, friends and running errands around christmas. and a lot of time spent in hospitals, which you can’t quite see in the video, but yeah. also, and i got a new mac to replace my 9 year old one!

november started with the little niece and other cousins back in my parents place, then back south. the boy got his new bike, we picked some olives from our own tree (!!), saw quite a bit of rain, puttered around the garden, took care of an eye infection, went to a classical music concert…
