I recently finished watching the BBC Wallander series n.2. I am a big fan of The Kurt Wallander Series, I read all the books last Summer before I moved to the UK. My mother had them all in the family library and she said they were really well written and thoroughly enjoyed them. I was [...][...]

Storm approaching

After a whole week of sunshine and not less than 25 °C / 77 °F all day long, I kind of appreciated some fresh air this morning. Finally, a Summer storm! Well… no. It was dark, it was cloudy and it was chilly indeed. For just about 1 hour. Now it’s sunny again and definitely warmer[...]

Moving to Twitter

Glitch Brings New Worries About Facebook’s Privacy – NYTimes.com. I must confess that, aside from the very easy-to-upload-&-share photo albums, Facebook has been rather useless lately. I ignore all applications, games, send a heart, send a dinosaur, send a stone, etc. Plus, quite a few o[...]
