Dans la vie, nous avons tous des passions. La peinture, l'histoire, le football, le violon, l'horticulture, l'Italie. Et puis en dehors de ça, il y a les choses qu'on adore, mais qui ne régissent pas forcément notre vie.

Voici leurs histoires.

4th day without hot water and heaters

Struggle is real. Girls and I took refuge in the kitchen, warmest room of the house. Considering the idea of turning on the oven and use it as heater. Also considering making fire in the middle of the living room. But lacking wood to burn. 

Diary entry -- My fault, I've been reading Bridget Jones the whole day

I'm writing this article with the music from the Harry Potter movies blasting, which makes me feel so powerful, there's no way I'll listen to anything else while working from now on. Anyway, what's up in my life ? Quick summary.
