I need...

I need a break.

A confession

I have a confession to make.

While I am neglecting this blog (and everything else, including all my friends, family, even me), I stared a new blog.

Today I learned ...

Enjoy.

Science projects

God, I love kids' science projects: crystal growth, NaCl and CuSO4.

Spring!

You know it's springtime when

- the birds are louder than the traffic, even in the city centre,
- your students attend classes in shorts,
- the snowdrops and snowflakes are gone, replaced by numerous flowers and blossoming trees,
- you can switch off the central heating, and
- your friend, whom you still owe a reply to a Christmas letter, asks if you are still alive...

Oooops!

Where Did The Time Go?!?

Dolomites

My absence is excused.

Driving a campervan through a snowstorm, however, was scary. Really scary.

Puzzles

The amount of stress in my life is directly proportional to the amount of distractions I need to somehow stay sane. 

 

Yep, there are lots of them.

Portugal, part II

A few more images from Portugal that can be labelled as my favourite ones.

Can you tell what's wrong with the first one? Solution below.

OK, this one is rotated by 90.

So, so beautiful.

Oh, the solution: the picture is actually a reflection in the Douro river. I just rotated it for 180 degrees to fool you :-)
