Say what I mean, mean what I say

My philosophy is if you say something, mean it, if you don't mean it, don't say it. When I say I'm going to do something I do it, I rarely let people down or cancel on them, I have a hard time being late or finding excuses just to avoid doing favours. I often hear…

Covid cacoon

I have to say I'm not much good at staying in, the possibility of another confinement is filling me with anxiety I don't need. Currently in France we have an 18h00 curfew, at which time I'm just stepping out to go to work, when I finish I bimble home slowly. It's only 20h00 and there's…

No excuses!

I've been telling myself and those who know me, that I love to write and like everybody else I just don't seem to find the time to do it. So what stops us? Time, though all of a sudden I feel like I'm running out of it, could that be right? I spent two years…
