Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment

I had to go back to the Social Welfare Office to correct it today. I should have been more careful. My flatmates made it sound so easy […]

My blog got an update. It is almost invisible except that the thumbnails have their dimensions changed! With a colder weather, I have to put on 2-3 layers of clothes. It makes me feel weird after many years in short and T-shirt. I have the impression of being heavier and that I can not move […]

Today I swam for the very first time in the national Olympic swimming pool in Dublin. THAT WAS GREAT! One hour and half of pure pleasure ALONE in my own lane. The pool is FANTASTIC! Brand new, perfectly clean and beautiful. It is indoor and it is heated. I can swim all year long! I […]

The breakthrough!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
The past few months were very special to me. Indeed I learned a lot about myself through two very unexpected events. There was the dangerous climb on the top of this mountain and the jump from a 14 meter-high tree. From the first event, I learned something rather funny, people who were with me, could […]
