The Skill and the Wit – Lesser Leaves
Yesterday I mentioned that I’ve been rereading Robin Hobb’s Farseer Trilogy: Assassin’s Apprentice, Royal Assassin and Assassin’s Quest. I read them once before, but it must have been at leas…| Lesser Leaves

I’ve not been posting because… too lazy, not in the mood? Lots of things have been happening in the past few months: Curious Dog had a minor wound on his paw and needed three vet visits. An initial one to find out what the problem was – not really clear, it was probably an infection […]| Lesser Leaves
… in July. After having written a good number of posts in June, I managed to not post anything at all in July (except this desperate post on the last day). I obviously have to work at this habit-forming thing. I ended my last post with the then upcoming trip to Bavaria. I’d taken the […]| Lesser Leaves
In some of my recent blog posts, I’ve mentioned that I signed up for a special program at work. It was a very unexpected opportunity that came up this year and when the first rumours about it started, I didn’t think it would apply for me. The company is undergoing a transformation, mainly fueled (as […]| Lesser Leaves
The weekend was the usual mix of business and relaxation. Grocery shopping, cleaning, and cooking, some yoga, a bit of reading and watching TV. Partner backed a very nice apricot cake. We sent off a package to Cousin 1 for her birthday. It rained a bit, but we still managed a nice long walk with […]| Lesser Leaves
It’s been a busy day and so was yesterday. In addition, I was in the office yesterday and was not at all in the mood for blogging when I got home. I did some Yoga in the hopes that it would give me some energy but that wasn’t the case. So, no blog yesterday. This […]| Lesser Leaves
So far this year I’ve read two travel books, one set in the Canadian Arctic and one far down in South America: James Houston, Confessions of an Igloo Dweller: Memories of the Old Arctic This is a hardcover that I got second-hand in 2006 – I know this because I found an invoice in it.

So much for posting every day in June – I didn’t make it yesterday. I was too busy with traveling, voting, cooking, and preparing everything for today’s day in the office. Yesterday morning was damp and overcast, but it grew sunny during the day. After the morning walk where Curious Dog and I enjoyed the […]| Lesser Leaves
It’s 6 p.m. and I’m mostly done with all the things that needed doing before heading back to my place tomorrow morning. Cleaning and packing and checking things with our lovely neighbours who always put out our rubbish bins on collection days and empty our post box. We always give them a small gift, usually […]| Lesser Leaves
Today was very busy. There’s always a lot to do on the last couple of days before Mum and I return from Bavaria to my place. So, I got up at much the same time as on workdays – no sleeping in or lazing about in bed reading. After breakfast, the long morning walk with […]| Lesser Leaves
Gardening only took up 20 minutes last night because it started raining. Just very gently but enough to be a hindrance. I turned to my current book instead. Some years ago, I tried my luck with the…| Lesser Leaves

It’s already the end of January and almost past time for a look at my reading stats and goals from last year. Spoiler: I don’t think I met my goals (again). It’s just more fun setting goals than ac…| Lesser Leaves
