Cancer

One of these days, I used as a reference the times when I has almost bald due to chemotherapy. For my surprise, P asked when it had happened. I am not sure if she no longer remembers or if she blocked the memories of those days.

P almost never asked questions about my disease and back then never seemed to be worried. But I know she talked about it with one of the nuns at school, the day I missed the school's Christmas party for being at the hospital.

B-day

A milestone birthday together together with an overseas move, and everyone is asking for me to throw a b-day party. Why is it mandatory to celebrate milestone birthdays, and not all the others, which probably meant more to me?

I strongly remember turning 35 and how happy I was, as it meant I had won the first stages of my toughest battle so far. As everyone should know by now, I hate to be on the spotlight, the biggest reason for living a quiet life.

Expat

In a couple of weeks, a new move, being an expat again. A new country and house with all it implies lay ahead of us :)

In Brussels

In Brussels for several days, including a long weekend. Besides meeting with friends and enjoying the summer time, I am free to enjoy myself... no rush to do sightseeing, as this is after all, my second home. I can move to a dozen places, but only here I feel at home...

Turin final

As I cannot predict the future, I am going by my motto.  In any case it has been a good season (can still be a great one, as there is still another final to play) and hopefully the next will be as good or even better. And these lyrics will always be true for me, in good and bad seasons.

B-day wishes

As I have a big birthday this year, all my family and friends could give the thing that would make me a very, very happy person...Guess what?
