A General Overview Things are not improving “busy wise”, but fortunately we are seeing the end of the house renovations that we started a long time ago. Tantrums form the 3 y.o. are killing us most of the time, but there isn’t much to do there, apart from hoping that they will soon stop. On… Read More April 2022

A General Overview Groudhog Day is the idea I keep getting in my mind to describe the recent months, it seems as I keep living the same day over and over, and I don’t like it at all… I guess this is mostly to do with the fact that two young kids/babies are something that… Read More March 2022

A General Overview One day at the time… February is gone! Well well, where to start? We are in the middle of a European war, in 2022. Who would have thought? Russia invaded Ukraine and all of a sudden cold war memories come back to life… It’s kind of NOT funny to see the media… Read More February 2022

A General Overview Very very very late… But here nonetheless! Renovations at home are entering the final stages, University started again at full throttle (a great thing of course), and kids being kids require a lot of management. Having only 24 hours available, I am working at night, as during the day I am taken… Read More January 2022

OUTLOOK ON 2022 Writing the outlook on the new year forces me every time to read what I wrote LAST year about the one that just finished.

A General Overview So December arrived, bringing Leonardo’s birthday, several festivities (both Italian and Russian) and the much dreaded end of school. This year Leo seems more into Christmas, well I guess growing up means that he realizes more and more what Christmas actually is (for a baby perspective of course, meaning “presents”). The renovations… Read More December 2021

A General Overview I guess I called for it last month, saying that in November I had all the ingredients for some major stressful time and more tiredness. As I mentioned before we have started the interior renovations in our house, initially we had to install a bathtub, we ended up changing kitchen, bedroom and… Read More November 2021

A General Overview I guess not many people were worried about me not posting in October after all! Yes the family is now of 4 people, plus 1 cat that counts as a human being too. Mila, was born right on the 1st of October! We are all happy and fine, mum is doing great… Read More October 2021

A General Overview Being a punk/grunge/rock fan “wake me up when September ends” would be a great way to introduce this post. I have had a VERY BUSY month, and the thing that scares me the most is the fact that this was just the or d’oeuvres of what is yet to come. But let’s… Read More September 2021

A General Overview If you are an Italian national, working and staying home in August is perceived as quite strange. Even in 2021, where some companies and factories are staying open, most of the county seems to “have” to go on holidays, flocking beaches, mountains and leaving cities empty. I am a major hater of… Read More August 2021
