Fugere non possum...

Christmas can come!

I am ready for Christmas.

1. Christmas cards are on the way and most of them have already reached their destination. My friends will be solving labyrinths this year :-)

And if they solve the labyrinth correctly, a christmas tree appears.

2. We've got snow! There just can't be a proper Chrismas without snow.

3. Most of this year's presents are neatly wrapped and ready to be placed under the tree :-)

4. Although there is a strike in France, the parcel I ordered arrived in time. Now the whole house smells like... sunshine ;-)

5. Although I've got tons of work to do, I don't care. I'm happy :-)

Classic blue

Ooooh, I like Pantone's colour of the year.

And, for once, I actually agree with the justification:
"Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era."

The colour "brings a sense of peace and tranquility to the human spirit, offering refuge."

We all need a little bit of that, don't we?

Winter is here!

Don't you just love the weather?

Temperature is -7 at 1000 m and +6 at 1300 m above sea level.

13 degrees change in 300 meters!

It's just too bad that I am stuck down there. Yes, down there.

Three random things

1. Talking to a group of my (ex)students, I realised that they do not know who Kraftwerk are.

What are we teaching them?!?

2. I don't often go out. But when I did go out, I sat under this poster.

Is the Universe trying to tell me something?

3. I did another Exit puzzle. While I liked the solution this time, the riddles were just toooo simple. Disappointingly simple.

 

Oh well, I am a very demanding customer.
