Still dreaming of a paperless office? So was I. Then reality showed up… with boxes, folders, “just-in-case” printouts, and a printer that clearly enjoys irony. 😏 Click in for a gently self-mocking tour of my very modern, very digital, and very paper-everywhere workspace — where scanners hum, clouds overflow, and the paperless dream stubbornly refuses to die.
As the year winds down, a simple list of flight routes turns into a quiet revelation about how the world really moves. From familiar airports to surprisingly busy corridors across Asia, this is a brief end-of-year reflection on travel, geography, and what a few boarding passes can tell us about the shifting centre of gravity of our planet.

Freshly home from Germany, the bed is blissful, the coffee is sacred—and the suitcase is still on holiday. Between lost luggage, administrative adventures, creative bursts and a medically questionable reliance on whisky, this is a gentle, humorous return to routine that proves coming home can be just as eventful as going away.
Turn off the sleigh bells and tune into timeless brilliance. Read more.
After ten days on the road, a missing cable bag reappears, a docking station refuses to cooperate, and a perfectly good MacBook Air stages a silent rebellion. What follows is an afternoon of unplugging, replugging, and negotiating with modern technology—until, without explanation or apology, everything suddenly works again. A short tale of travel, tech, and the quiet certainty that machines only obey once they know you’ve truly given up.
As our loyal luggage at long last staggered back from its impromptu European tour, battered, bemused, and improbably still containing Christmas presents (phew!). Delivered straight to our son’s house in Algermissen, this emotional reunion restored festive order, rescued dignity, and narrowly averted a Yuletide meltdown worthy of Dickens — all before dinner in Hannover and the looming adventure of The Great KLM Reimbursement Claim. In short: triumph over tarmac tribulations, victory for socks still paired, and yet another story proving that holiday memories are measured not in sleep but in saga.

La vie est imprévisible, chaotique… et souvent hilarante. Sur mon blog, je partage des semaines où le vin coule à flots, où les marchés et les cuisines se transforment en aventures, mais aussi ces petites victoires silencieuses qui font sourire. Cliquez, prenez un verre, et venez découvrir ce que cette semaine nous réserve.
Une photo, une Giulietta, et tout revient d’un coup : l’essence super, l’huile de ricin, Paris à deux dessus (interdit, bien sûr), et cette délicieuse impression d’être immortel. Un souvenir qui démarre au quart de tour, entre nostalgie joyeuse, vitesse très relative et liberté aujourd’hui introuvable… sauf peut-être au coin de la rue, en allant faire ses courses. 🏍️
A photo, a Giulietta, and suddenly it all comes rushing back: premium fuel, castor oil, riding two-up through Paris (strictly forbidden, of course), and that delicious feeling of being immortal. A memory that fires up instantly, somewhere between joyful nostalgia, very relative speed, and a freedom now impossible to find—except perhaps just around the corner, on the way to the shops. 🏍️
Think you know Genesis? Think again. Armed with Deezer, a dangerous amount of free time, and a healthy dose of musical humility, I dive headfirst into the entire Genesis discography—from prog-rock epics and costumed theatrics to stadium-filling pop hits—to discover that even bands we think we’ve mastered still have plenty of surprises left. Click in: enlightenment awaits (and Supper isn’t quite ready yet). 🎶
