How I Sacrificed my Elbow for a Sandwich I was very thrilled when I saw the weekend engagement topics of this week on Hive. I felt immediatly drawn towards the Childhood Accidents one. Now that might sound strange, but I am in fact a very very clumsy person. So if there is anything I can write about with experience it is this topic! But I will focus on only one of my accidents here! The time I sacrificed my elbow for a sandwich, and then realizing that was a horrible…

Conversations With Friends: This Novel Blew Me Away This year I have set myself the challenge to read 52 books in 2022 or one book a week. This is a decent challenge but I am very excited about it! I am getting behind on my challenge a little bit but last week I finished book number 9: Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney. I recently read a later novel of her, Normal People and loved that. So I decided to also order this one, her first book written. And I think it…

Rising Star: Progress Update and New Card Pack So last time I updated you all I had just opened the Local Gig Circuit, but wasn't able to do anything there yet. Well I changed that up and in the mean time also was able to buy a new pack! So in order to be active on the Local Gig Circuit I needed an i6 Midrange Accoustic, which I bought on the marketplace So I was finally able to get started, but since I don't have enough fans yet beyond the Radio Interview, I must admit I…

Three Ways to Unwind From a Stressful day So as a teacher my days can sometimes be stressful and I use my head a lot at work, so I like to rewind in the evenings when I get home and not use my brain too much! I have three activities that I use the unwind from stressful or long days: Lego Yes you read that right. I love Lego! I loved it as a kid and then stopped doing it when I grew up, like most people do I'm afraid. Then Covid came around and I got bored out of my skull…

High Rise: How A Skyscraper Descends Into Chaos This year I have set myself the challenge to read 52 books in 2022 or one book a week. This is a decent challenge but I am very excited about it! I am getting behind on my challenge a little bit but last week I finished book number 10: High Rise by JG Ballard. This was what I would call a golden oldie, the book was written in 1975 and though the language has dated a bit, the book is still super relevant I think. Source…

This Picture Brings Back So Many Memories So I am currently at a place that I hold very dear in my heart. I have been coming here for over 25 years, first with my parents, my grandparents and now with my fiance. And everytime I come here and I look from the terrace this is the view I see: Welcome to Torgon, Switzerland! The history of my family goes back way further than mine with this place. My grandparents bought an apartment in this tiny Swiss village in 1974. They fell…

Lac de Taney: My Hidden Gem in Switzerland I am currently in Switzerland, in a place very dear to my heart. My family has an apartment in Switzerland in the beautiful mountains near the lake of Geneva and I have been coming here since I was very young. Now I am here again and want to share my favorite spot with you. It is kind of a hidden gem, it requires quite the walk to get there, but especially now in the off season, you have the place virtually to yourself. I present…
