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
A General Overview EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS! I had to start with that, didn’t I? Italy won the football European Championship, as usual these happenings seem to get the nation “back together” for a week or so, where everyone feels proud of being Italian and all is good and great. Italy has never been a “really united”… Read More July 2021
A General Overview June has been a rather uninteresting month, so to speak. Set aside from the Euro 2021 competition if felt like I’ve done nothing worth writing about, but of course it’s not true. First things first, I’ve managed to pull out another injury to my right knee, which already suffered two surgeries. Initially… Read More June 2021
A General Overview And May came. This has been a rather difficult month for personal reasons, while on more general related matters it seems that things are falling in place once again and we are heading towards a re-found normality. Covid is still present but thanks to the weather, and in second place to the… Read More May 2021
A General Overview April in Italy has been a month of hope, the third wave of Covid19 passed its peak and the government decided to loosen some of the restrictions that we had in place due to the pandemic. Although it’s nothing remotely close to “life as it used to be”, it’s a start. In… Read More April 2021
A General Overview No news 2021 seems to continue, also in March there is little that it’s worth talking about. I wonder if this has to do with Covid and all, it seems that the media are interested in talking only about the pandemic. In Italy things are not going that well, after a great… Read More March 2021
A General Overview February it’s really the shortest month out there! Came and went with, yet again, no major news. Here in Europe we are struggling with COVID vaccines, apparently because the negotiations with the pharmaceutical industries didn’t go that well. Actually we should say that they made a mess of it, and in the… Read More February 2021
A General Overview To be honest, nothing major to write this month. Pandemic-wise things are improving, despite a delay in vaccines that are going to be delivered to Europe, Italy got yet another government crisis going on and on a personal note I have developed a nasty back ache that is killing me (lack of… Read More January 2021
OUTLOOK ON 2021 So this is it, a late review of 2020. I wanted to wait a little before diving in the usual “what happened last year” post. I guess we all were affected, more or less, by the same macro issue, COVID19. This is something that technically united the whole world, despite the fact… Read More Year 2020 – a late Review
