Happy Wednesday! I haven’t slept much lately because a couple of days ago my kid managed to fall while… sitting down. Yes, parenting really is full of surprises. The emergency rooms around here aren’t exactly the kind of place that makes you want to rush there unless you absolutely have to, so we ended up trying to … Read more
Happy Wednesday! Our beachhouse has been a bit of a mess lately. We had a new door installed, old stuff to throw away, walls to fix, some painting to do… you name it. Definitely not the kind of things you want to deal with during summer, so my advice is: do these jobs before the season starts! … Read more
Happy Wednesday! I’m just back from five completely laptop-free days at a five-star resort. My bank account is definitely a little lighter, but the break was badly needed. I’m hoping the extra energy will show over the coming weeks as I slowly get back into work mode. The weather is finally back to normal too, so I’m … Read more
Happy Wednesday! We’re currently hiding indoors with the A/C on, as we’re experiencing our third consecutive 40°C day. I did manage to sneak in a swim yesterday, but this kind of heat is honestly tiring. Hopefully the promised 10-degree drop arrives tomorrow and we can get back to a more normal summer rhythm. On the business side, … Read more
Happy Wednesday! A little late this week, as my son is dealing with a post-vaccination fever. On top of that, we’re battling our first proper 38+°C days of the summer, with the hot wind from the desert making everything feel even warmer. Somehow I’m still playing tennis—don’t ask me how. I’m not working as much as I’d … Read more
Happy Wednesday! Personally, this week has been all about watching my son grow. Even though it took him a little longer than some other kids (I really try to avoid comparisons), he started jumping the waves on his own, and he’s slowly figuring out how to swim in his uncle’s pool. At the same time, … Read more
Happy Wednesday! Personally, I’ve been playing a lot of tennis lately, but not nearly as much beach time as I had imagined. The main reason is that my son is currently rejecting the beach altogether, and I don’t always have the energy to negotiate, persuade, and come up with creative reasons why it’s actually a … Read more
Happy Wednesday! This week is very much about summer mode. I still haven’t walked into my summer office yet—that small apartment in town where my desk is—and that probably says a lot. Maybe I’m not fully settled yet, or maybe I just haven’t switched into work mode properly. Either way, until I actually get in the … Read more
Happy Wednesday! I’ve finally settled into the beach house and my “summer mode” has officially kicked in. Longer sleeps, more time outdoors, no TV, plenty of games with my son, and the occasional work day squeezed in between. It’s a slower rhythm, and a much healthier one too. The challenge now will be figuring out … Read more
Happy Wednesday! I’m just back from WordCamp Europe 2026, and this was one of the best event experiences I’ve ever had. The people, the conversations, the location—everything was cool. The only exception, maybe, was the content itself, which once again was overshadowed by the hallway track. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but if we want … Read more
