Sunday. I begin to have muscles sores… But this should not be an excuse to decrease my efforts. I am really not doing anything else than these 2 hours workout, since I can’t walk anywhere and don’t have other choices than sitting at the desk, the chair, or lying on the bed… The weather wasContinue reading “Q-Day 4”

Q-Day 3
Today my sleepiness was much better. I stayed awake quite late yesterday, as I attended a few meetings, and this maybe helped me to sleep well. My stomach is also modifying its rhythm to accomodate the new time zone, and this may help as well…. In any case I overslept and woke up only whenContinue reading “Q-Day 3”
Q-Day 1
The bus arrived at the hotel, a 4-star hotel in a rather touristic area. In a very slow rhythm each of us – less than 20 people – got a temperature check and was attributed its room before filling an additional health declaration form. The rooms must have been attributed randomly according to the numberContinue reading “Q-Day 1”
Q-Day 2
I tried my best to sleep well, but I feel the jetlag as if the sandman had spread sand on my head during ages. Reading, writing, whether on computer or on paper was equally a catastrophy – I was sleepy whatsoever. The weather didn’t help: it was pouring all morning, followed by thunderstorm and heavyContinue reading “Q-Day 2”
The trip
The journey to arrive in Singapore was long: 3 planes carefully planned with stop overs long enough to be sure not to miss the last one. There was not many choices of itinerary due to the decrease of the float since the COVID19 outbreak, and I preferred to stay conservative even though I would haveContinue reading “The trip”
The W-Week
Last week were ones of the fastest and more intense days ever for me. These days were full of sun, sea, hope, anxiety, and release… A mixture of emotions that excited and froze me at the same time. It all begun a few weeks ago: Singapore opened its borders, with lots of restrictions, but thisContinue reading “The W-Week”
Shelob
Do you remember the Lord of The Ring? Do you remember Shelob the Spider, the Demon of Cirith Ungol, the one that attacks Frodo? It is here !!!! In the wooden shed, just behind my house! I saw it, it rolls its preys in a cocoon and hang them from the ceiling! Incredible!
TGIF*
Today is Friday. Fridays, in some work places around the world, people gather after a short seminar, around a special theme, or just at a particular time, and have a drink and a toast. This is the moment where you can meet up with new persons, talk about crazy ideas and built new out-of-the-box experiments,Continue reading “TGIF*”
Perfect sunrise
Today was a special day – or maybe it wasn’t but it begun well, with a perfect sunrise, despite the fact that I couldn’t sleep properly. I dreamed about crocodiles… One says that it may foretell “a new beginning or changes in your waking life, but that […] it can also indicate danger in someContinue reading “Perfect sunrise”
Sea side
I learned that the sea side is cold, and that the lake side is busy with boats and canoes; I learned to swim with a swim buoy when swimming in a lake; I learned that I would need soon a neoprene suit if I want to continue swimming in the morning in the late summerContinue reading “Sea side”
