Today I picked up a magazine with advice about food for two for New Years Eve. One of the things, the author of that article thought, should be part of a dinner for two, are oysters. It made me think of something that happened many years ago, while I travelled through France with my high […]
The 29th of November I told you about my decision to pretty much turn my life around and work on becoming a person I would like to date. Before and after I wrote that I’ve thought a lot about what it is I want to change, have chosen some of the remedies that are going […]
Todays assignment: Infectious As I told you earlier, my parents had 6 children, and the first of us came in a nice rhythm: boy, girl, boy, girl. Then there was a slight hick up and a ten years break, and the last two of us were girl, boy. There are almost precisely 20 years between […]
