24th of Jan until 1st of Feb 2025 Sat Feb 1 2025, 2:49:59 pm CET A whole week of work passed, my cold lingers on. Much better but still that annoying cough that won't go away. At least it is not an issue during the night. It was a very busy at work, especially the second half of the week. I reached a great milestone in one of my long-term projects. This during many other smaller tasks and appointments of course. I also had my yearly performance review which was a nice experience. I am so grateful that I can be a part of such a fantastic little team. I started using the home trainer every morning again which gave a great start of the day. It gave me some extra energy and a better rhythm during the day and I also slept better during the night. The small sacrifice in the morning returned a great win. Today it is a nice and sunny day, we are just back from a longer walk in the neighbourhood and finished it off in the local plant store. They have all sorts of plants, pet food, but also garden fireplaces and BBQ's and products from local farmers. It's difficult to leave there empty handed... Yesterday evening I drove to Eindhoven airport picking up J. and K. returning from Cyprus. For K. was the last trip, she is now done with Cyprus. It's already been 6 months. Another chapter for both K. and J. together. It is great to have them home again, so great to hear the stories and how happy they are. They bought a gift (a Christmas gift they brought back from the local pipe store in Cyprus where K lived) for me, a fantastic Fallion pipe. I will soon post some pictures. It is truly unique in combination of white and briar-wood light brown. Love it! Did you know that..? I try to find an interesting historical event that occurred on this day.
