It is Friday. Personally Friday is my favorite day of the week. It is the day before the weekend, the day to look back on a full week, the day of the local grocery market in our village and mostly a day where Conrad and me spend the evening together with a good movie and some nice red wine. What could be better? So today I am looking back at the last weeks, the first two months of this year and what has happened so far. It has been a roller coaster and sometimes I think I live in a dream.
